Chanel No. 5 and the Art of Naming Perfumes
Have you ever wondered why perfumes have such unique names? How are iconic fragrances like JOY, Shalimar, or Chanel No. 5 named, and why does Chanel choose No. 5 over No. 6 or 7?
Sophia Grosjman, a renowned perfumer at IFF, describes perfume as "a promise in a bottle." Perfume taps into our deepest desires for beauty, wealth, allure, and happiness. The names we associate with fragrances?"such as Pleasures, Beautiful, or Sexy?"reflect this yearning. As Charles Revson famously said, "We sell hope." Behind every significant perfume is a meaningful story.
Take Shalimar, for example. According to legend, Raymond Guerlain traveled to the U.S. by sea with his wife, who wore this innovative oriental vanilla scent. Fellow passengers were captivated, and upon arrival, high society embraced Shalimar, which remains a favorite today. The name traces back to an Indian emperor's famed garden, Shalimar.
Coco Chanel had a clear vision for her perfumes. She wanted one that embodied the modern woman with strength and sophistication. Ernest Beaux, the creator of Chanel No. 5, presented Coco with ten samples. The fragrances were divided into two groups, numbered 1 to 5 and 20 to 24. She chose No. 5. When asked why, she explained, "I am going to exhibit my collection on May the 5th, the 5th day of the 5th month. So, let’s choose the bottle with this number." The choice was strategic and symbolic, linking the scent to success.
In essence, the art of naming perfumes is a blend of creativity, strategy, and storytelling, connecting each scent to a deeper narrative.
