Every once in a while, Chanel’s iconic N°5 scent makes an appearance in the form of a luxurious soap bar. Last year, it was available in an exclusive reusable round tin as part of the #CHANELFactory5 capsule collection.

At Christmas, it took the form of a coveted egg-shaped bar. Now, the N°5 soap bar is back again as part of a limited-edition box set simply named, The Soaps.

Each set sees five neatly lined soaps wrapped in tissue paper and sealed with a Chanel stamp. It is reminiscent of the art of baudruchage, the traditional method for sealing bottles of the precious parfum. Unwrap each to find a gorgeous beige square bar, featuring an embossing of the N°5 logo and an infusion of the iconic floral-aldehyde blend.

Formulated as a sensual continuation of the N°5 floral bouquet, the soap features the smooth harmony of rose and jasmine. It works to gently cleanse and leave your skin softly scented in the bath and shower. Use it alone for a delicate fragrance trail, or together with your favourite N°5 perfume to prolong the experience.

A stylish black and white box holds the set, a nod to the maison’s minimalist design of the N°5 packaging. It makes the perfect gift for a discerning girlfriend, or a pampering treat to keep for yourself.

Retailing at SGD154, the limited-edition N°5 The Soaps is now available at Chanel’s Fragrance & Beauty boutiques islandwide.
