A new facet of CHANCE is born — the third generation of the CHANCE Fragrance family. CHANEL Master Perfumer Jacques Polge has created a new fragrance constellation that is a whirlwind of tender and vibrant notes. This incarnation of the decidedly youthful scent reveals itself to be both delicate and airy, with an intoxicatingly light, fruity trail. An unexpected mingling of grapefruit and quince meets the crispness of fresh green notes, while a trace of Jasmine Absolute lingers in the air. Gently warmed by a sheer veil of White Musk, CHANCE EAU TENDRE Eau de Toilette is at once innocent and seductive, for those who dare to dream anew.

CHANEL unveils the highly anticipated short film, Train de Nuit, starring actress Audrey Tautou and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. This artistic piece will launch at 12:00AM on May 5, 2009 exclusively at http://www.chaneln5.com

To celebrate the iconic fragrance and latest campaign, May 5, 2009 has been designated by the city of New York as CHANEL N˚5 Day. CHANEL and Saks Fifth Avenue have partnered for this significant occasion during which a portion of Fifth Avenue will be renamed AVENUE N˚5 for the week.

CHANEL will unveil the highly anticipated short film titled, Train de Nuit starring acclaimed actress Audrey Tautou, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. This artistic piece will launch May, 5, 2009 at 12:00AM on www.chaneln5.com

Audrey Tautou incarnates the CHANEL N° 5 woman – seductive and elegant with an irreverent spirit and timeless modernity. “N° 5″ the film is a tale of chance and fate – a brief encounter between a man and a woman traveling to Istanbul on the Orient Express night train with an intertwining of two destinies that will be brought together by a scent like no other.

In this film, Jean-Pierre Jeunet reveals the intriguing world of CHANEL N° 5 and the power of its seduction. Enchanting and alluring, Audrey Tautou is today’s face of CHANEL N° 5. “For me, a woman who wears perfume represents the ultimate in femininity,” states Tautou. “When a woman has a pleasant or mysterious scent, it adds a little something to
her.”

In this cinematic dialogue, the legend of N° 5 lives on. Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amelie, the 2001 film collaboration between Tautou and Jeunet that marked the beginning of their creative relationship, became a phenomenal success and was recognized with international awards. In 2003 the pair partnered once again for A Very Long Engagement, a film with poignant visual and emotional intensity.

“For N° 5, Audrey was the first person who came to mind,” notes Jeunet. “We needed a very expressive actress in very short shots, someone who could act with her eyes alone, and God knows that I know her eyes well.”

Audrey Tautou will join the legendary league of women who have represented CHANEL N° 5. Her elegance and beauty follow in the path of the iconic faces featured in CHANEL fragrance campaigns, including Nicole Kidman, Ali McGraw, Carole Bouquet, Lauren Hutton and Catherine Deneuve. The cinematic partnership between Audrey Tautou and Jean-Pierre Jeunet continues the tradition of CHANEL pairing influential directors and their muses for short films, such as Nicole Kidman and Baz Luhrman, and Keira Knightley and Joe Wright.

The film’s soundtrack, “I’m a Fool to Love You” is performed by legendary soul singer, Billie Holiday. Jeunet selected the song “for its absolute charm, her distinctive voice and the lyrics that evoke the folly of an encounter of love.” Designed to reflect Coco Chanel’s very modern fashion philosophy, CHANEL N° 5 is a rich modern floral blend of jasmine, rose, patchouli, iris and ylang-ylang with gentle precious woods. The world’s most famous fragrance, made its debut in 1921. Coco Chanel asked the great perfumer, Ernest Beaux, to create a fragrance that reflected her very modern fashion philosophy. N° 5 was her lucky number and it was the fifth submission presented to Mademoiselle Chanel on the fifth day of the fifth month of the year, thus a legend was born with the name CHANEL N° 5.

-Tautou’s first lead role came in 1999, in the film Venus Beauty Institute, for which she received the César French film award for the “Most Promising Actress”. Tautou was soon discovered by Jeunet and he cast her in the lead role for Amelie, then again in 2003 for The Very Long Engagement. Her first Hollywood production came in 2006 as Agent Sophie Neveu in Ron Howard’s The Da Vinci Code. Her most recent project includes Anne Fonaine’s 2009 film, Coco Avant Chanel, where Audrey brings the early years of the couturiere’s life as a young woman of modest means.

CHANEL, the international luxury goods company, was founded in France by Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel in 1924. The company, which is privately held, offers a broad range of luxury products, including Ready-to-Wear, fragrance, cosmetics, leather goods, accessories, Fine Jewelry and Watches, through a U.S. network of 24 boutiques and at select retailers.

Chanel No5 Eau Premiére is a lighter, softer interpretation of the world-renowned fragrance that just might take over the Elixir Sensuel spot on our dressing table.

As summer winds down and turns to fall, this lovely scent is certainly going to be one of our favorites.

Chanel No5 Eau Premiére ($125) is available beginning October 2008 at department and specialty stores and online at chanel.com.

Inspired by the codes of the House of CHANEL, the contemporary 850 sq. foot counter draws clients into the world of CHANEL with dedicated areas for fragrance, makeup and skincare. The fragrance area invites customers into the world of CHANEL fragrance heritage with the debut of the patented Olfactive Bar designed by CHANEL deputy perfumer Christopher Sheldrake. Utilizing a new patented ceramic blotter system, the table houses the 43 fragrance concentrates encompassing the entire range of CHANEL perfumery. An on-site fragrance expert will offer clients an interactive olfactive journey through the house’s extensive fragrance offerings. An illuminated manuscript, the pages of which turn via a motion detecting sensor, will showcase the history of CHANEL fragrance, from historical images of Coco Chanel to the house’s renowned master perfumers.

The location will also debut the Les Exclusifs de CHANEL fragrance collection, including a global exclusive for BEIGE, the latest addition to collection of exclusive fragrances. BEIGE, a sensual outburst of hawthorn, freesia and frangipani, along with shimmering hints of honey, was interpreted by CHANEL Master Perfumer Jacques Polge. Additionally, the rare 225 ml, 450 ml and 900 ml bottles of the iconic Nº5 parfums will also be available, previously only obtainable by special order.

“We are proud to partner with Saks Fifth Avenue to showcase our rich fragrance heritage, modernity in makeup and expertise in skincare,” says Christine Dagousset, executive vice president, CHANEL Fragrance & Beauté. “The luxurious space offers customers an exclusive, intimate and interactive environment to experience the world of CHANEL Fragrance & Beauté.”

An extensive makeup and skincare area offers customers a luxurious environment to explore the products with the assistance of a CHANEL Beauté expert. An oversized panel mirror alternates from a display of graphic quotes and videos, offering an unexpected and playful intrigue to passersby. Eight generously sized makeup artist stations invite the customer to interact with the products while a VIP consultation room features a luxurious area for a personalized consultation or private makeup application. The consultation room also features the signature “Miroir Lumiere” light box mirror, utilizing modifiable light technology exclusive to CHANEL to mimic natural light from day to evening in spring, summer and winter seasons. Inspired by the overwhelming success of the SUBLIMAGE anti-aging franchise, customers will have the opportunity to experience and learn about these best-selling products within the dedicated skincare area. Two seated skincare consultation areas allow clients to discover the CHANEL Précision skincare range and diagnose their individual needs.

The new CHANEL Ready to Wear boutique is a collaborative vision of Saks, CHANEL and New York architect Peter Marino, who designs boutiques for CHANEL globally. Marino’s extensive history with the House of CHANEL enabled him to develop a unique palette of materials and finishes based on the heritage of design and craftsmanship favored by Coco Chanel. The innovative black and white microcrystal storefront of the new boutique will feature a rotated glass box showcasing CHANEL signature mannequins draped in the season’s runway looks. Within the space, diaphanous glass planes layer the space and present the runway collections by theme.

Materials and finishes throughout are a nod to Coco Chanel’s pioneering creation of tweed fabrics. The walls are covered with luminous woven fiberglass and the millwork panels are made of carbon fiber, with threads hand-pulled exposing gold leaf beneath. The furniture is covered with custom CHANEL tweeds and the carpet is splashed with an abstract pattern of metallic crosshatching. A 10′ high video monitor will feature the Paris runway shows so customers can fully experience the current collection. In addition to the New York Flagship, CHANEL Ready to Wear is carried in 18 other Saks Fifth Avenue full line stores.

Les Exclusifs BEIGE 200 ml bottle retails for $190, No. 5 parfums 225 ml, 450 ml and 900 ml retail for $1,700, $2,350 and $3,200 respectively. Both fragrances will be available exclusively Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City in September 2008.
