“Yes, that is what I was waiting for. A perfume like nothing else.” (The Secret of Chanel No. 5)
In the world of perfume, no name is as iconic as “No. 5,” Chanel’s founding fragrance. Now, Olivier Polge, has created a new No. 5 for the House of Chanel. Its mood inspires paradoxes. Here, Vogue Arabia partners with Chanel to convey a series of contradictory conclusions through a collection of stunning cinemagraphs.
Minimalism vs. Maximalism
The modern woman embraces her multi-faceted aesthetic. She seamlessly floats between both schools of minimalism and maximalism. Her one guiding thread: taste.
Nostalgia vs. Futurism
Her vibrant reflections fluctuate somewhere between past and future. This is the inimitable melody that empowers her.
Secret vs. Exposed
Here, intimate dreams are revealed. Why have a secret if you can’t expose it?
