Chanel No 5 Parfum Red Edition

The 2018 Red Edition dresses Chanel No 5 Parfum in a limited red flacon, but the juice inside is the classic floral aldehyde composition collectors already know. The opening is dominated by aldehydes—listed at full strength in the accord profile—lifted by a bright neroli top that gives the first minutes a sparkling, almost soapy clarity. As it settles, the heart unfolds around jasmine and May rose, a white floral core that reads creamy and expansive rather than sweet. The listed pyramid stops at the heart, so expect the familiar No 5 drydown to carry the composition without documented base notes to cite.

This is a parfum concentration, so the aldehydic and white floral accords sit close and last. It suits collectors who want the reference No 5 scent in a display-worthy red bottle, and wearers who prefer polished, formal florals for evening or cool-weather occasions. If you already own standard No 5 Parfum, buy this for the presentation; if you are new to aldehydes, sample first, as the opening is uncompromising.

2018 年紅色限量版以紅色瓶身盛載經典的五號香精，香氣結構仍是熟悉的醛香花香。前調以醛為主，配合橙花，開場明亮、帶皂感與潔淨的銳利感；中調轉入茉莉與五月玫瑰，白花香氣豐厚而不甜膩。官方只列出前調與中調，基調未有公開資料，可預期是五號一貫的延續。

香精濃度令醛香與白花貼膚而持久，氣質端正、正式，適合晚宴、典禮或秋冬場合，也適合想收藏紅色瓶身的藏家。若已擁有普通版五號香精，買的是瓶身與紀念意義；初次接觸醛香者建議先試香，因為開場頗為直接。
