Speaking of Chanel, it’s an iconic brand that revolutionized fashion and is one that many women admire.

Over the years, Chanel has produced numerous commercials.

I’m sure you’ll find that one track you heard in a commercial and couldn’t get out of your head.

COCO, the 1991 Film with Vanessa Paradis – CHANEL Fragrance

In the 1991 commercial “L’Esprit de Chanel – COCO,” the song “Stormy Weather” by American composer Harold Arlen was featured.

CHANEL N°5, the film Train de Nuit with Audrey Tautou – CHANEL Fragrance

A heart-pounding visual piece portraying the romance between a man and a woman who pass each other on a night train.

The commercial features Audrey Tautou, one of France’s most iconic actresses, famous for the film Amélie.

The song playing is a version of a Frank Sinatra classic covered by Billie Holiday, one of the “Big Three” female jazz vocalists.

It is highly regarded as a masterpiece of torch songs—ballads about lost love and unrequited feelings—and the commercial’s imagery, together with the allure of fragrance, is beautifully expressed through Holiday’s deeply evocative voice.

The human tendency to seek love, even when it isn’t with one’s true match…perhaps that never changes, no matter the era.

This striking song from the commercial starring Kristen Stewart accompanies Gabrielle, the perfume hailed as the ultimate floral fragrance.

It was produced by Naughty Boy, a music producer and DJ from Watford, UK.

Beyoncé collaborated on the track with British singer-songwriter Arrow Benjamin.

Like in the commercial, the song evokes a liberated feeling—breaking free from constraints after prolonged struggle.

It makes you feel like you might discover a new you!

The cute and beautiful model who appears in the commercial is also Lily-Rose Depp.

I’m captivated by the color red, which accentuates women’s beauty.
