Chanel is a name so well known in the perfume business that nearly everyone of any consequence will know about it and will recognize its distinctive logo, and there is no doubt that Chanel perfume is the very last name in quality as well as style making it amongst the most highly regarded of all perfumes.

Sadly, many imitators have tried to sully the great name of Chanel by making cheap knockoffs and selling them to all those who wanted to pretend to be rich and famous. It has been especially prevalent in third world countries, such as Thailand and India, where the police do not care for trademarks as we do in America.

I'm sure some of you are wondering, "What's all the fuss about?" Well it all goes back to the founder of Chanel, Coco Chanel. She had a vision of a world where women's perfumes were uplifting and uninhibited and she didn't stop until she reached that vision. She probably didn't realize how big her perfumes were going to get, but her plan was always to make a "high-society" perfume, and she succeeded.

Thus, today all the famous personalities in the world including of course the Hollywood beauties are all sporting Chanel perfume, all of which contributes to the popularity and glamor associated with such a brand of which Chanel Number 5 is a good example.

Such free advertising and also the effect of celebrities endorsing Chanel perfume has made millions of women want to own a bottle of such perfume for them, thus contributing to the success of this brand even more.

It also helps that Chanel has been around for a hundred years, decades ahead of other perfumes. A hundred years to perfect their marketing plan has left Chanel way ahead of the game and the store shelves lined with Chanel products bear witness to this fact.

The hugely popular Chanel No. 5 that was the brainchild of Ernest Beaux contains ylang-ylang and also neroli and blends of jasmine as well as rose makes for a very alluring perfume indeed. Though no one (outside of the company) really knows the exact blend, there is no doubting its popularity and it is believed that a bottle of Chanel No. 5 is sold once every thirty seconds. So, this product is certainly filling the coffers of its maker while proving it a huge success with the public as well.

A 1.7 oz bottle of Chanel No. 5 will run you about $80 if you buy from a department store, but search around and you'll get a 2.5 oz for the same price. Chanel is the way to let the world know you have arrived, so if you want to move up the ranks in to high-society, grab a bottle of Chanel No. 5.
