Chanel No. 5 in the US and France, Moscow Red in the USSR, and Tosca in Nazi Germany: these three fragrances were the jewel of each nation after the Great War. With the second victory, Chanel No. 5 became the symbol of triumphant Parisian luxury. Moscow Red was the Soviet version for the masses; the Kremlin’s speeches smelled of it. Tosca was the perfume of the Nazi elite’s wives; they all had it in their dressing tables, yet it faded into obscurity like almost everything German from that era, save for brands like Hugo Boss. Chanel No. 5 had already conquered the West. In my continent, South America, I am perhaps the only one who knows this story intertwined with the harsh reality of war.
