Dearest glamorous darlings,
Welcome to another captivating episode of The Fashion Boudoir.
On this beautiful winter day, we shall immerse ourselves in a fragrance that has reigned supreme for more than a centuryâChanel No. 5.
From its birth on the French Riviera in the 1920s, Chanel No. 5 redefined the art of perfumery, blending audacious aldehydes with the delicate notes of neroli, citrus, ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose, and earthy vetiver. Together, these create an abstract, multifaceted symphony of scentâmuch like the woman who wears it.
Weâll uncover the revolutionary collaboration between Coco Chanel and Ernest Beaux, the artistic vision behind the perfume, and the legends that have kept it shrouded in mystique. From Marilyn Monroeâs iconic claim to fame to the avant-garde advertisements that have immortalized the fragrance, Chanel No. 5 is more than a scentâitâs an icon.
So, darlings, sit back, relax, and let the story of Chanel No. 5 unfold before you, as wedive into a world of luxury, artistry, and allure.

Dearest glamorous darlings,
It has come to my attention that one often hesitates on what to wear when hosting a botox and champagne party, an issue I'm sure, which keeps us all awake at night.
Such a horrendous dilemma was solved by Victorian and Edwardian ladies whose beautiful tea gowns constituted the utmost elegant outfit to entertain at home.
This emblematic wrapper of the 19th century adopted by the new ton acted as much as a reflection as a rejection of Victorian fashion and morality with designs embedded in a geopolitical and economic context.
Let me open the doors of my boudoir and whisper you the daring secrets of the tea gown.
Elegantly yours,
