Description
Coco Chanel revolutionised the way women smell with her fragrance Chanel No 5 - worn by Marilyn Monroe, the perfume was created 90 years ago this month.
Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel came to Paris as the mistress of the textile baron Etienne Balsan in 1909 and set up a millinery boutique under Balsan’s apartment. Chanel was already a phenomenon in French fashion circles by the beginning of the twenties. She had a series of successful boutiques in Paris, Deauville, and Biarritz; she owned a villa in the south of France and drove around in her own blue Rolls Royce.
