chanel on the drawing board

it is rumored that the bottle of the world's most legendary perfume, chanel no. 5, was designed to perfectly match the shape of Place Vendome. why this is still only a rumor, i can't say. i mean, just look at the photo below. of course, i guess in 1921, they didn't exactly have google earth to show them what the shape was...but there were other means, i'm sure.

the iconic bottle has been a source of inspiration for many artists, including warhol and my fave illustrator (previously mentioned on this blog)...

oddly, i am not a fan of the scent, but the bottle is one of my favorite designs of all time.
