Céline Dion has been leaving this bestseller of perfumery for decades now that has become her true olfactory signature. Discover which perfume it is.
For Céline Dion, the perfume is much more than a simple smell: it is “A real comfort zone“. And there is one that holds a special place in his life, as he has accompanied the 57 -year -old singer since her adolescence.
During an interview with the Beauty Expert Dave Lackie, the one who was diagnosed with the stiff person syndrome explained: “I remember buying Chanel n ° 5 for myself. Over the years, the figure five has become, I don’t know why, my lucky figure. And as it was a perfume whose name included the figure five, Chanel n ° 5, it had to be my perfume.“The other reason for his love for this fragrance? An emblematic cliché of an icon of cinema.”Like everyone, I was very interested in Marilyn Monroe. When I was a teenager, I saw a photo of Marilyn Monroe in bed, carrying Chanel n ° 5, and I started to do like her every night. I was sitting in my bed and I sprayed Chanel“, She admits.
Chanel n ° 5 was created in 1921 by Gabrielle Chanel and her nose Ernst Beaux for “women with the smell of women”. Having become a classic of high perfumery, this fragrance stands out by a bottle with minimalist lines but especially by a flowery-aldehyded chord. It opens with haseperidized and fresh notes in mind, namely those of aldehydes, neroli and lemon.
In its ultra floral heart are deployed delicate touches of jasmine of Grasse, Mai Rose, Muguet and Ylang-Ylang, while the background aims to be sensual thanks to iris, vanilla, vetiver and patchouli. A mixture that is both enveloping, warm and deep which has seduced the star of the song from an early age. And we can easily understand why!
