Chanel No. 5 is the first perfume launched by Parisian couturier Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel. The chemical formula for the fragrance was compounded by Russian-French chemist and perfumer Ernest Beaux. It is the world's top-selling perfume, reportedly selling a bottle somewhere in the world once every six seconds.

In a 1954 interview, when asked what she wore to bed, Marilyn Monroe provocatively responded: "Five drops of Chanel No. 5 ".

The bottle, over decades, has itself become an identifiable cultural artifact, so much so that Andy Warhol chose to commemorate its iconic status in the mid-1980s with his pop-art, silk-screen titled “Ads: Chanel.”
