I wonder if Coco Chanel would be surprised that her perfume is being advertised by a man, even Brad Pitt. Popular since the 1920's, Chanel No. 5's celebrity was reignited by Marilynn Monroe the 1950s, when, upon being asked what she wore to bed, replied, "Five drops of Chanel No. 5." In the '60s,
Vogue and
Bazaar presented their ads to read, "
Every woman alive wants Chanel
No. 5" and "Every woman alive loves Chanel No. 5."
I know I did. My first boyfriend gave me a bottle for Christmas. Chanel No. 5 still remains one of my two favorite perfumes. (The other is "L'heure bleue" by Guerlain.
I wonder if Brad Pitt wears five drops of Chanel No. 5 to bed...or does Angelina?
