Smells Like โ€” Like a light citrus mist over delicate ylang ylang and rose, airy and feminine.

N5 L'Eau Limited Edition 2024 by Chanel is a fresh, modern reinterpretation of the world's most famous perfume. This version strips away the heavier elements of the original No 5 to reveal a lighter, more vibrant composition that feels contemporary while honoring its legendary heritage.

The opening is a sparkling citrus bouquet of bergamot, lemon, lime, orange, mandarin, and neroli, creating an effervescent brightness that immediately charms. The heart preserves the soul of No 5 with may rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, three flowers that define the original's iconic character.

The base is lighter than the classic, with cedar, white musk, orris root, and vanilla providing a clean, powdery-woody foundation. The aldehydic quality nods to the original's signature sparkling character.

This is No 5 for a new generation, maintaining the DNA of one of perfumery's greatest achievements while making it feel effortless and wearable for everyday life.
