Olivier Cresp - ANGEL No5

The new No5 is .... Angel because there is no Chanel perfume inside "The Art of Scent" exhibition coffret box. With Light Blue from the same perfumer, we expect Marlene Dietrich to make an apparition inside the Museum. Blue Angel wearing a drop of "Shanghai Lily" I made.
Once you remove the brand from history the perfume becomes something very different. Which is quite normal because brands are just "hosts" for the scent - houses for one night or for many years like Ritz was for COCO.
There is something about Angels ... they love sweets and rococo style - they play in a boudoir with words, stories, ribbons. If MAD says ANGEL is "surrealism", it is because angels play above the REAL, like perfumers. Scent is in the air, it has something from a dream.
