CHANEL has dropped a limited-edition bottle of N°5 L’Eau shaped as very tactile translucent pebble shape called N°5 L’eau Drop.
Departing from the traditional N°5 bottle shape – inspired by a whiskey flask – the drop form reminds me of the brand’s delightful pebble-shaped hand cream, La Crème Main and has the tag line “Just a drop” and shaped just like a drop of perfume.
Chanel N°5 L’Eau – Just a Drop
N°5 L’Eau was launched in 2016 and created by Chanel’s inhouse master perfumer Olivier Polge as a contemporary, spirited, radiant and shimmering version of N°5 while still maintaining its classic – and iconic – aldehyde, jasmine and rose-rich formula.

Chanel Head of Packaging and Graphic Design Creation, Sylvie Legastelois, who designed the house’s 31 Le Rouge range of lipsticks which were encased in glass and were inspired by the mirrors that lined the staircase at Chanel’s Parisian apartment, 31 rue Cambon, also created the design of the N°5 L’Eau Drop bottle.
