Wow, what a change in attitude about the fragrance can be seen through the ad campaigns. I admit I am genuinely surprised by the images for chanel 5 being shown with sporty images. I admit the first 1921 advertisement and the Estella Warren one's are my favorite.

Oh yes, the Estella Warren one is spectacular. I note in passing that it looks close to the aesthetics and movement in the ad for the new Zen by Shiseido (in a gold bottle), or rather the reverse should be noted.

Hi i and my class did a national history day project for our school and my friends did a project on the perfume of who made it and it came out great! I just what to know somthing did she make other perfumes other then Chanel no.5?
Posted by: melissa | December 29, 2008
Yes, Gabrielle Chanel "did" other perfumes such as No. 19, No. 22, Bois des Iles, Sycomore and more. If she contributed to the creative process around the scents, she did not compose them herself as she was not a perfumer but a fashion designer. Ernest Beaux composed Chanel No. 5. Having said that, Chanel had ideas of her own as to how one of her perfumes ought to smell like :) She was more like an artistic director for fragrances.
