Marilyn Monroe for Chanel No. 5 Perfume:
First Celebrity Perfume Endorsement - For Free

Marilyn Monroe

On the 1st of June 2011 Marilyn Monroe would celebrate her 85th birthday. R.I.P., Marilyn!


Marilyn Monroe wanted to be loved by you...
(Scene from the 1959 Some Like It Hot movie, starring also Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon)


Marilyn was a talented actress in her movies and in real life. She had to super-hide her intelligence, her sensitive and creative nature in order to survive swimming with Hollywood sharks and slugs... She said:

"Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents."


The ever increasing contrast between her public image and who she really was eventually destroyed her.

Marilyn Monroe: The First Celebrity Endorsement of a Perfume

Marilyn Monroe was the first celebrity endorsing a perfume - and, can you believe it - she did it for free! In an interview in the early 50s of the past century Marilyn poetically said the famous quote that in bed all she wore was a few drops of Chanel No. 5 perfume.

Marilyn was officially never spokesmodel for Chanel, but her famous quote skyrocketed the sales of Chanel No. 5, the most famous and best selling perfume ever, and added another magical touch to the history of the perfume icon.

Since Marilyn, celebrity endorsed (fronted) or 'owned' fragrances have become one of the key marketing strategies in the fragrance business, exploiting the power of fame and public image of celebrities to lure potential customers (in)directly to identify with the celebrities' looks, personalities, ways of living, values they represent...

Chanel Perfume Marketing via Celebrity Endorsement



Parfums Chanel (Chanel Perfume house) is the one that the most lavishly invests into perfume marketing via celebrity endorsing and artfully harvests continuous commercial successes through the decades. Chanel selects only the first league movie directors such as Baz Luhrman, Luc Besson or Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and hires celebrities that best epitomize the soul and nature of Chanel perfumes. Chanel perfume marketing is something special, but the marketing, more specifically marketing filmography, for the sacred Chanel No. 5 perfume - is the super special, ONE of the kind.

Coco Chanel wanted Chanel No. 5 perfume to embody the scent of a woman and Chanel house, following Coco's wishes and ideas like she was still alive, has based No. 5 marketing on defining a contemporary Woman and Femininity. It is interesting to observe, how this has reflected in the choice of Chanel No. 5's spokesmodels through the decades: Catherine Deneuve, Carole Bouquet, Estella Warren, Nicole Kidman...

And who is the latest celebrity endorsing Chanel No. 5? What does a contemporary Woman look like? She looks like sensual Audrey Tautou; independent, curious, travelling, accepting the destiny's choices... And in bed she wears only a few drops of Chanel No. 5, just like Marilyn!

The latest perfume movie for Chanel No. 5 Train de nuit ("Night train") is a short cinematic sugar directed by French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who also directed the eccentric romantic comedy The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain ("Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain"; 2001).

The happy-end story was inspired by fate and chance, missed encounters and regrets... It shows how Audrey Tautou and Travis Davenport meet, fall in love at the Orient Express night train to Istanbul, how their paths go astray and finally meet again at the Istanbul train station. All this with the help of the magical No. 5 perfume, of course!

(directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet; music: Billie Holiday I'm a fool to want you)


P.S. The movie was launched on May 5th 2009 to honor Coco Chanel's highly superstitious character - 5 was her luckiest number, can you believe that ;)?
