Ah, the iconic Chanel No.5. Tipped as one of the world's most famous fragrances, the rich floral scent debuted 100 years ago, making it Chanel's first fragrance to enter the market. It was Gabrielle Chanel's vision to make the perfume as memorable as her dress, so it's no wonder that Gabrielle herself, saw through the perfume-making process.

Captivating beauty fans around the world, the fragrance also counts the late actress Marilyn Monroe as one of its adoring fans. In a rare recording, Marilyn was even heard saying, "You know they ask you questions like, ‘What do you wear to bed? A pajama top? The bottom of pajamas? Or the nightgown?’ So I said Chanel No. 5, because it’s the truth.'"
