Scents are associated with emotions and memories, which makes Chanel perfumes and colognes the perfect gifts for your loved ones this Christmas. Chanel recently revealed their "Gift List" on their website listing makeup, skincare, fragrances, exclusive and limited editions, and more.

The first Chanel perfume was launched almost 10 decades ago, in 1921. The Chanel No. 5 was the first scent made by French-Russian chemist and perfumer Ernest Beaux. A lot of thought was put into the fragrance and the bottle during that time.

If you want to gift your loved ones a timeless piece of living history, these Chanel perfumes and colognes are the perfect gifts.
