Just another beautiful vintage Chanel ad from 1972, starring the French actress and model Catherine Deneuve. I love its simplicity, showcasing the lovely design of the bottles of Chanel No. 5 perfume and eau de cologne. The perfume was priced from $8.50, and the Eau de Cologne from $4.00. ~Marilyn

I think she looks very on-trend for today, with her black leggings, ankle booties, and long sweater. The heavy eye makeup, nude lip, and bangs and… Read more »
Catherine Deneuve for Chanel No. 5 Perfume, 1976
I love this vintage 1976 ad for Chanel No. 5 perfume featuring French actress and model, Catherine Deneuve. Catherine is just glorious, with her perfectly symmetrical features and luminous skin and hair. She was the perfect Chanel muse in the 1970s – that perilous time for Chanel when it was considered a “near-death” brand –… Read more »
