Fun fact: Chanel No. 5 created the "soap" scent that soap companies copied to scent their soap, not the other way around.
That said, Chanel No. 5 must have been the most incredible, modern, extraordinarily unique scent when it was released in 1921. Today, we've all been raised using soap scented with elements from Chanel No. 5, and i personally can't get past it. I absolutely adore this scent, not only for its history, but for its layered, soapy-clean-calming-floral scent. If only I had been born in a different era...
