Chanel's New Short Film Reveals Up To 1,000 Jasmine Flowers Go Into Each Bottle Of No. 5

No. 5 was created by perfumer Ernest Beaux in 1921 at Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's request. Today's Eau de Parfum is built on rose, jasmine, aldehydes and bourbon vanilla, while the Eau de Toilette keeps the original rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang and aldehyde base and adds sandalwood and vetiver.

Robbie, who appears alongside Polge in the film, described a connection between perfumery and acting: "I think both a perfumer and an actress are doing a similar thing in different ways... It's a little bit of an invisible personal signature."
