Product Information

"Who knew that such a tiny bottle housed so many secrets?" --Michael Tonello, author of Bringing Home the Birkin Tilar J. Mazzeo, author of the New York Times bestseller The Widow Clicquot (an Amazon Best of the Month book in October 2008) returns with a captivating history of the world's most famous, seductive, and popular perfume: Chanel No. 5. Mazzeo's sweeping story of the iconic scent (known as "le monstre" in the fragrance industry) stretches from Coco Chanel's early success to the rise of the seminal fragrance during the 1950s to the confirmation of its bestseller status in today's crowded perfume market. "Here is the life of one of the 20th century's most interesting and deeply complicated women, a fascinating cultural history, and the story of an extraordinary perfume." --Chandler Burr, New York Times scent critic and author of The Perfect Scent

  • Sucks You In

    If you love learning the history behind things like Chanel No 5, this is a fascinating book that will suck you in. As soon as it arrived, I decided, "I will thumb through it, then set it aside to read later." That didn't happen. I had to force myself to put the book down. The author creates a setting that shares so much more than just the history of Chanel No 5 - you learn about other brands, other fascinating historical and unknown people, and I just have to say that I can't wait to get back to it. It is a totally excellent read!
