Chanel N5 makes me think of the Mona Lisa. I feel an affinity for it that I can't describe. It's impenetrable, mysterious, incredibly alluring. It's sort of an abstract perfume. A highly mysterious one, as all the women who wear it describe it differently, and yet always accurately. It was made of a woman's intuitions and perceptions, those of Gabrielle Chanel, a perfume that transcended time.
