Hands up who has never heard of Coco Chanel! That, in fact, was called Gabrielle and Coco: this "nickname" she was saddled by his many fans when she still dreamed of becoming a singer. To achieve this goal, he sang in the local - not really first class - light winds that were very entertaining the audience. Among the songs in his repertoire that there were two s'accomunavano to the sound of the refrain in "Ko Ko Ri Ko" our Mademoiselle Gabrielle imitated the cry of a rooster and "Here qu'a vu Coco dans l ' Trocadéro? "the misadventures of a young woman who lost her dog in a garden. The fact is that between Coco and KoKo, this proved to be the nickname by which then the world learned to know her (though she did not like very much ...).
The Chanel does not belong to that long list of cases that come out each season on the market with a new fragrance, indeed, he is quick to list its production:
No. 5-1921
No. 19-1970
Cristalle - 1974
Coco - Allure
1979 - 1996
Coco Mademoiselle - 2001
Chance - Allure Sensuelle
2002 - 2005
remember that Coco was born in 1883 and died in 1971 so most of the Chanel fragrances are posthumous.
But, in my opinion, the house has done a great job staying faithful to the accused as the great woman that was Gabrielle. If it is true that both the N ° 5 N ° 19, as they say, they have a reason, they in truth even after the fragrance.
The No. 5 has behind its creation, with a considerable number of legends ... but we know that behind every legend is a bit of truth. What is certain is that the 5 was the lucky number of Coco, a woman very superstitious, and 5 was the number printed on the vial containing the precious liquid when visited by the master nose Ernest Beaux, she found herself faced with a series of identical flasks that differed only by the number on the label. It is also said that the packaging calls the windows of the convent-orphanage where he was hosted by small and were, indeed, all white with a fine black border. The output of such a fragrance caused a sensation: at a time when the aromas, very full bodied and rich, pompous were contained in bottles made of alabaster, ceramics, glass work etc.. The No. 5 proposes a fragrance aldehyde (the first in history) contained in a clear glass with a clean, sober, almost a pharmacy bottle. Also decided to release the names given to the tradition of the perfume, when they were produced around the impossible names like "dew of a summer morning in the secret garden" here is a resounding "No. 5". Of course we can not say that we had no courage Coco Mademoiselle ... ...
No. 19 however, recalls the day when Coco Chanel was born: Aug. 19.
In his life, nothing is left to chance and therefore, the house continues this tradition even after the death of its founder:
Cristalle want to draw the purity, understood as the freshness and purity of mind, spirit, Coco liked so much in people. The fragrance
Coco, is a tribute to the woman who was Chanel: very clean and minimalist in form and reports related to the luxury and opulence. Apparently two worlds and two ways to be diametrically opposed but who met Gabrielle in creating a character unique in its kind.
Coco Mademoiselle then, wanted to be a modern take of his character.
Allure Coco Mademoiselle ... used to say that in life you have "allure" or charm, personality, something that makes you unique and makes you stand out from the crowd. Allure Sensuelle
obviously recalls the same idea, totally sensual key, deductive.
Chance finally, is a tribute to one of the "fix" Gabrielle: over and over again that everyone in life has his "chance", his opportunity: it's up to us grasp it or not, and sapercela play. She had the ability to recognize and exploit. And this fragrance wants to give all women the opportunity to be able to grasp them.
Well .... I must say: congratulations to Chanel! And remember that the class is not water, there are not many houses that produce something that has a story ... ..
