A few months past their Spring-Summer 2023 fashion show, Chanel once again takes over the temporary Left Bank-located copy of their favorite monument, for their latest installation celebrating the richness of their olfactive heritage. “Le Grand Numéro de Chanel” will shine a light on the brand’s inspiration and exceptional know-how through a unique tour where the iconic N°5, Les Exclusifs high-perfumery, and male fragrances, will be mixed to pieces inspired by their DNA. More surprises will be revealed along the way such as highly awaited meetings and magic tricks…

Chanel goes all out! In the heart of the trendy circus tent, dancers have replaced shivarees to welcome the audience to the house's magical show, in an enchanting setting.
