There's more to Chanel scents than just N°5. These are the iconic brand's fragrances worth adding to your collection.
Chanel's collection of fine fragrances is equally as beloved as its luxury handbags and couture goods. While it's no easy task to narrow down the best Chanel perfumes, the classic No. 5 parfum is undoubtedly the brand's most legendary scent, and also its first. Developed with perfumer Ernest Beaux, the perfume is an olfactory heirloom across generations, setting the tone for some of the top fragrances from the house that were created after it.
