What do you give the woman who has everything? Just in time for Valentine’s Day, VIOLET GREY is offering a truly one-of-a-kind gift for the one-of-a-kind woman in your life: the CHANEL N°5 Grand Extrait Crystal. The iconic fragrance is celebrated with unprecedented elegance in a limited-edition 30.4 fl. oz., $15,000 crystal bottle, hand-crafted for N˚5 connoisseurs. Because nothing says ‘I love you’ like a king-size bottle of CHANEL.

Since 1921, the fragrance N˚5 has held the power to astonish and seduce – expressing itself differently on every woman. Whether she wears her N˚5 to bed like Marilyn Monroe or where she wants to be kissed, like Coco Chanel, CHANEL N˚5 is an essential part of a woman’s cosmetic wardrobe and the perfect addition to any dressing table (even if it outsizes the vanity).

If you’re thinking, “How do I even use 30.4 oz. of CHANEL N°5?” – you’re not alone. Here are The Violet Files’ decadent suggestions for making the most of your trophy:
1. For the Authentically Decadent: Channel your inner Natalie Wood—but instead of bathing in Champagne, fill your tub with Chanel N°5.

2. For the Art Enthusiast: Use it as a ruler and level when hanging your new Donald Robertson portrait.

3. For the Fast Driver: Buckle it into the passenger seat to gain access to the swiftly moving HOV lanes.

4. For the Fitness Fanatic: Use it instead of a kettlebell during your CrossFit workout.

5. For the Perfectly-Pressed: Pour Chanel N°5 into your steamer, and use it to smooth your favorite white blouse (or an outgoing love letter) so the scent lingers.

6. For the Avid Reader: Dab it onto the pages of your books so the aroma guides you back to where you left off.

7. For the TSA-Prepared: Decant into more than 500 travel-size bottles, then carry a different one on every flight you take for the rest of your life.

The 50 limited-edition bottles were hand-numbered, housed in the highest quality crystal and sumptuously nestled within a handmade coffret. With only three remaining in the US, CHANEL N°5 Grand Extrait Crystal is the ultimate luxury. CHANEL N°5 Grand Extrait Crystal perfume retails for $15,000 and launched today at VIOLET GREY on Melrose Place and VIOLETGREY.com. Once ordered, the Grand Extrait Crystal will be hand-delivered, for exceptional, white-glove service. VIOLET GREY also offers the classic, .5 fl. oz. bottle of CHANEL N°5 ($200).
