Thanks! This is awesome! I love reading anything about Chanel! I enjoy the documentaries too. I’m sort of a Chanel expert for my family and friends.

I saw the one with Audrey Tautou and liked it a lot. There’s another French film about Chanel that focuses on her affair with Stravinsky–really dreadful movie. But that’s where I first heard the story about the creation of No. 5.

I love the narrator’s voice! The way she says “decipher” in her Brit accent and the way she pronounces French names like “Catherine Deneuve” and “Audrey Tatou” is like buttah–makes me want to fake an accent. Mon Dieu!

I just got a chance to watch this and I love it. Although I am not a fan of the scent, I love the story behind it. I was told at the Henri Bendel store, that Henri liked No.7 instead of No.5.
I do love the way the Prefection Lumiere smells though!
