The last time Chanel’s N°5 L’Eau sported a new look was never. Which makes its latest collector’s edition all the more special, because for the first time, it leaves the iconic original bottle behind. Gone are the sharp lines, angular facets and diamond-cut stopper that’s inspired by the shape of Place Vendôme in Paris.

In its place is a small, pebble-shaped glass bottle that brings to mind the maison’s egg-shaped hand cream packaging. Designed to accompany you everywhere, the rounded and ethereal collector’s edition bottle brings a breath of fresh air, just like the juice within.
Created in 2016, N°5 L’Eau is the freshest and youngest in the N°5 family. With a name translating to water, the vibrant creation features dazzling citrus top notes elevated with distinctive aldehydes. Following in its wake is the recognisable jasmine, then rose and ylang-ylang that anchors the family.
The dry down comprises dynamic vetiver and cedar softened by white musk notes for a dose of radiant freshness. A radiance that the crisp colour of the juice showcased in the exclusive packaging also reflects.
Priced at SGD236 for 50 ML, the limited-edition N°5 L’Eau is available from 13 June at 8 PM on Chanel's Fragrance & Beauty online store. Also sniff it out at all Fragrance & Beauty boutiques and selected counters at Takashimaya and Tangs from 14 June.
