Chanel N°5 Eau Première
In 2008, Chanel introduced N°5 Eau Première, a fragrance designed by Jacques Polge to provide a lighter, more modern approach to the legendary N°5. While the original remains a pillar of perfumery, Eau Première seeks to translate its complex DNA into a format better suited for daily wear.
This composition retains the recognizable aldehyde signature of the house while softening the transition between the floral heart and the warm base. It stands as a testament to how a classic house can evolve its most famous product without alienating its core audience.
