December 15 – January 9, Grand Palais Éphémère, Paris
Imagine a giant circus tent brimming with black, white and gold, a glittering ceiling of the house’s symbols that illuminates five Alice In Wonderland style oversized perfume bottles, and uniquely crafted, whimsical worlds to be discovered behind each and you’re somewhere close to Chanel’s latest exhibition, Le Grand Numero de Chanel. A celebration of the fashion house’s legendary perfumes, in particular their most iconic scent, Chanel No.5, Le Grand Numero de Chanel is a fragrance obsessive’s paradise.
Walk through moody blush-hued hallways lit with crystal chandeliers in the Coco Mademoiselle boudoir, try your luck at the monogrammed roulette tables in the Chance casino, or marvel at the fantastical animated ceiling in the cathedral of No.5. And that’s just the beginning. A VR experience where you discuss perfume with Coco Chanel herself, a Le Bleu bar complete with perfume sommeliers and the ultimate Chanel beauty shopping destination in the form of a monochrome boutique are all waiting to be explored. Plus, it’s totally free. Simply book to reserve your space here.
