Chanel Beauty’s limited-edition Holiday 2021 collection has arrived – and the outing pays homage to the 100-year-old Nº5 fragrance in a big way. As a nod to the future, the perfume’s trademark bottle incorporates recycled glass.
Elsewhere, the Holiday collection also comprises lipsticks, eyeshadows and highlighters that come in packaging that have been inscribed with Mademoiselle Chanel’s lucky number five.
Ahead, we take a closer look at the products.

Similar to the EDP, the N°5 L’eau EDT is designed with an exclusive bottle adorned with a silver number five. The fresh yet complex scent evokes the innate power of an independent, multi-faceted woman that Gabrielle Chanel herself championed.
This supersized 2021ml perfume is the largest Nº5 produced by the maison to date and features a glass bottle made by Baccarat. The custom hand-engraved piece is housed in a white-dipped lambskin coffret and comes with a Baccarat crystal wand for precise application to the pulse points: behind the earlobe, on the neckline, and on the inside of the wrist. P.S. Notice how 2021 is not just a nod to the centennial year of the perfume but how the digits also add up to an auspicious sum of five?

The palette comes equipped with four creamy eyeshadow shades that have taken inspiration from the golden and silver hues of the limited edition fragrances. The N°5 iconography stamped on each shade makes this palette a true collector’s item.
Available in an exclusive shade dubbed Or Ivoire, this enhances the complexion by imparting a luminous sheen for a radiant glow thanks to light-reflecting pigments. Its lightweight texture melts onto the skin, providing long-lasting comfort.
A multi-use balm, this can be applied on the cheeks, nose bridge, and lips to deliver moisture and a natural radiance. When applied onto the skin, this creates a glimmering effect that sculpts the face.
The limited-edition Rouge Allure comes in five shades of red, pink, and burgundy with an exclusive packaging embossed with a golden number five.
