Never in the history of haute joaillerie has there been a collection dedicated solely to a perfume. But the house that Coco Chanel built is known for doing things on their own terms. So, in honour of the 100th anniversary of the N°5 perfume this year, the Maison is pulling out all the stops to celebrate in the most spectacular fashion: Chanel will conceptualise, design, and produce the Collection N°5, an entire high jewellery collection inspired by every facet of the fragrance. The range will comprise of 123 extraordinary pieces, each expressing a different facet of the N°5 perfume, from bottle to sillage, to uncover and interpret the eternal mystery, longevity, and influence of easily the most famous fragrance in the world (thank you, Miss Monroe).
