Chanel Silent Movie

Yesterday I was in a very Cuir de Russie mood. Chanel launched the new collection, Paris-Moscow and Karl presented the short silent movie. Amusing and incredible, but also better (even in the teaser now available on youtube) than many videos for perfumes with great budgets.

This remembered me a short post I did in the past about another silent "movie" Coco Chanel did in 1921 (see the picture I found) but now lost. That recreation of the past by Lagerfeld made me again thinking of old and very rare Chanel perfumes created by Ernest Beaux - Magnolia, Ivoire, Rouge, Amber, Chypre and the entire range of numbers from the 20's.
