This work captures Marilyn Monroe, the iconic Hollywood actress and model, was famously associated with Chanel No. 5 Perfume. In 1952, during an interview with LIFE magazine, Monroe was asked what she wore to bed, and her response was, "Just a few drops of Chanel No. 5." This statement became legendary and forever linked Monroe with the fragrance.
Chanel No. 5 is one of the world's most famous and enduring fragrances. It was created by French perfumer Ernest Beaux and introduced by Coco Chanel in 1921. The scent is characterized by its floral aldehyde composition, with notes of rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and sandalwood.
Monroe's association with Chanel No. 5 has been celebrated and used in various advertising campaigns and marketing efforts by Chanel over the years. Her endorsement solidified the fragrance's status as an emblem of elegance and sophistication, and it remains a timeless classic in perfumery.
