From the opening of her first milliner shop in 1912 to the 1920s, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel has risen to become one of the foremost fashion designers in Paris. In 1922 Chanel expanded into perfume, making Chanel No. 5, which is still one of the most popular fragrances on the market.
ORIGIN OF CHANEL'S SUCCESS
The first Chanel perfume for her deviated from the floral scents of the day by infusing the champagne-like scent of aldehyde into the mix. The brew, developed by Ernes Beaux, delighted Chanel. After Chanel No. 5, Beaux went on to create Chanel perfume for her, including the woody and light Chanel No. 22 and the exotic Les Exclusifs line.
Until 1952, Beaux was the in-house developer of Chanel perfumes. In 1995, new designer Henri Robert introduced the first Chanel cologne for men: Pour Monsieur, a woody and aromatic cologne with a fruity, spicy finish. More popular Chanel cologne for men would follow, such as the Allure and Egoiste lines, which have a woody, warm and spicy scent.
Pierre Wertheimer became her partner in perfumery in 1924, owning 70% of the company. The Wertheimers continue to control the perfume company today, producing Chanel fragrances that continue to mesmerize users, including the best of Hollywood, stage and sports stars.
Coco Chanel introduced her signature cardigan in 1925 and her signature "little black dress" in 1926. Most of her fashions had lasting power, not changing much from year to year or even from generation to generation. She introduced pea coats and bell bottom trousers for women, and she was still working in 1971 when she died. Karl Lagerfeld has been the chief designer of Chanel's fashion house since 1983.
