MESSAGE BY CHANEL22
Edmond Roudnitska stated that Ernst Beaux created several initial samples for Coco Chanel back in the early 20's. She had given him some ideas of what she would like and THAT creation was Chanel #22, a lovely rich white floral bouquet. Mind you, there were only pure parfums in those days and Chanel's edc, edt and edp are quite different. If you want the masterpiece, then you have to have the pure parfum. He also created many others including #19 (different than today's version), Bois de Isle, Cuir de Russe, Gardinia and others. Another sample presented to Coco Chanel was radically different and a experiment with extreme aldehydes--Coco thought it would sell because it was "modern" and that is #5. She was right. BTW,Coco had a bad habit of rewriting history, she had no input to Chanel #5's creation or any others. Ernst Beaux was a renouned perfumer and Mr. Roudnitska stated that Beaux would never have tolerated such interference.
