In a review, I recently wrote about Tilar J. Mazzeo’s book on Chanel No. 5 (available in German, too). She characterizes all components of the coming into being of this legacy perfume that is elsewhere characterized -with a positive connotation- as a “monster”. Shortly, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris will open an exhibition focusing on Chanel No. 5 (May 5-June 5, 2013). Previous editions took place in Moscow, Beijing, and Canton. The website mentions: “The works of art, photographs, archives and objects exhibited provide an account of the many inspirations which fed the imagination and world of Mademoiselle Chanel.”
