一九二一年,她決定替自己最好的客戶創造一款香水。
她說香水「是無形、難忘、終極的時尚配件…能預示你的到來,並延長你的離去。」香奈兒聯繫上調香師恩尼斯·鮑;他最終調製了十款香水,分別以一到五、二十到二十四進行編號。
香奈兒選擇了五號,並以之作為香水的名稱;而這款香水也成為首款以設計師命名的香水。
For one hundred years, fashionable women around the world have applied Chanel No. 5 to their skin. The fragrance, which includes notes of jasmine, rose and cedar, has remained popular through good and bad times despite many changes in fashion. It is now the longest-selling perfume on the market.
Chanel No. 5's designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was born in 1883 and grew up in rural France. Her mother died when she was only 12, and as a result, Chanel spent her teenage years in a convent. The nuns there taught her how to sew. After she grew up, she moved to Paris where she designed stylish clothes for women.
Upon becoming famous, Chanel became used to rubbing shoulders with wealthy men and women in opulent settings. In 1921 she decided to create a perfume for
her best clients. She said perfume "is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory of fashion that heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure." Chanel
contacted a perfume maker named Ernest
Beaux. He ultimately produced ten
fragrances numbered one to five and 20 to 24. Chanel chose number five, which named the perfume and became the first
fragrance to feature the name of a fashion
designer.

It means whatever name or label you give to someone or something, it will not change what they really are.
For example, Rex is a singer, and now he is teaching English.
His title as an English teacher will not change
the fact that he is a singer inside because... A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
