Of the many stories, myths, and just all around Chanel lore that I can’t seem to get out of my head yet was that Coco Chanel designed her first Chanel No.5 bottle to perfectly match the shape of Place Vendome … where the Ritz Paris is, and where Madame Coco Chanel basically lived. Although her apartment for inspiration and taking guests was just behind it on Rue Cambon. They also claimed that it is unknown whether this matching shape was intentional… and its not like they had “Google Maps” back in 1921. So I had to check. Strange it may seemed but the rational part of me assumed the Chanel folks wouldn’t just make something like this up. And as you see, they weren’t kidding. The parfum bottle No.5 really fits the Place Vendome proportions!
