I don't wear Chanel No. 5, in fact, I don't really like the way it smells however, I love its history. A few weeks ago, I felt the urge to drop everything I was doing and make an enormous bottle of Chanel No. 5 out of papier mache. As I was looking for images of the iconic bottle, I came across this NotCot post which points out how the bottle's proportions mimic Place Vendome.
Here's my bottle. I hung it on the wall above my bed because someone once told me that when asked what she wore to bed, Marilyn Monroe replied "Chanel No. 5."
Great idea! :) I saw your bottle in Superclever's flickr.
ReplyDeletei had no idea about the proportions! incroyable!
ReplyDeleteI loved that when I saw it in your apartment! Sooo amazing. And I agree, I tried to wear this scent in high school! I couldn't do it. I love it on others but not on me.
