Vogue Singapore|July/August 2024
One drop, five emotions. Through an illuminating journey, Vogue Singapore discovers Chanel No. 5 L'Eau's new collectible bottle.

Drop Of Glass

A drop is all you need, especially where Chanel No. 5 is concerned. This age-old statement once murmured by bona fide beauty Marilyn Monroe has now manifested itself in a bottle, mirroring the likeness of a single drop.

Conceived in 2016 and touted as the fresher and more casual version of No. 5, the No. 5 L'Eau needs no introduction. The formula includes essential components such as an aldehyde note, jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang, and pulsates with the addition of citrus and cedarwood. A drop of rebellion if you will; one that radiates with fluidity and reckless abandon.

Now harnessing this sprightly recipe is a second skin of glass-Chanel's limited-edition Drop bottle. A collectible that is rounded and ethereal, like a pebble that fits snugly in the palm of your hand.
