香奈兒五號Chanel NO.5
陪伴了女士們一百年的知名香氣
The Famous Perfume Celebrates 100 Years
調製香水的其中一項難題，就是製造出可以長時間持續的清新香氣。
設計香奈兒五號時，調香師是從柳橙或其他柑橘類植物中萃取清新香氛，但是柑橘香並無法在肌膚上持久停留。
當時科學家才剛分離出一種名為乙醛的化合物，這種化合物聞起來清新、味道能維持較久。
不過，不管乙醛的味道多好，都太強烈了，因此調香師一開始並不太願意使用。
有人猜測，鮑是不小心加入過量的乙醛，才使得香奈兒五號的味道脫穎而出。
香奈兒帶著鮑和一些朋友前往一家高級餐廳共進晚餐，以兹慶祝。
她在餐桌四周灑上香奈兒五號，然後，每個經過的女士都在問那是什麼香氣?
女士們積極的反應確認了香奈兒的直覺：這款全新的香水將會大受歡迎。
香奈兒描述自己這款香水是「獨一無二的香水；充滿女性魅力的香水。」在女性必須排除萬難才能成功的時代，香奈兒創造了一款經得起時間考驗的優質香水。
香奈兒五號至今仍是時尚業界的主要香味。
One of the challenges in making perfumes is producing fresh scents that last for an extended time. When Chanel No. 5 was designed, fresh scents were made with orange or other citrus, but citrus doesn't stay on skin for long. Scientists had recently isolated compounds called aldehydes that smell fresh for a longer time. But however good they smell, aldehydes are very strong, so perfume makers were initially reluctant to use them. There's some speculation that Beaux accidentally added more aldehydes than he intended, and that this is what made Chanel No. 5 stand out.
To celebrate, Chanel took Beaux and some friends out for dinner at a fancy restaurant. She sprayed Chanel No. 5 around the table, and every woman who walked past asked what the fragrance was. Their positive reactions confirmed Chanel's intuition: the new perfume was going to be a hit.
Chanel described her perfume as “A perfume like nothing else. A woman's perfume, with the scent of a woman." In a time when women faced many barriers to success, Chanel created a high-quality fragrance that has stood the test of time. It is still a staple in the fashion industry today.
