CHANEL will unveil the highly anticipated short film titled, Train de Nuit starring acclaimed actress Audrey Tautou, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. This artistic piece will launch May, 5, 2009 at 12:00AM on www.chaneln5.com.
Audrey Tautou incarnates the CHANEL N° 5 woman – seductive and elegant with an irreverent spirit and timeless modernity. “N° 5” the film is a tale of chance and fate – a brief encounter between a man and a woman traveling to Istanbul on the Orient Express night train with an intertwining of two destinies that will be brought together by a scent like no other. In this film, Jean-Pierre Jeunet reveals the intriguing world of CHANEL N° 5 and the power of its seduction. Enchanting and alluring, Audrey Tautou is today’s face of CHANEL N° 5.
“For me, a woman who wears perfume represents the ultimate in femininity,” states Tautou. “When a woman has a pleasant or mysterious scent, it adds a little something to her.”
In this cinematic dialogue, the legend of N° 5 lives on. Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amelie, the 2001 film collaboration between Tautou and Jeunet that marked the beginning of their creative relationship, became a phenomenal success and was recognized with international awards. In 2003 the pair partnered once again for A Very Long Engagement, a film with poignant visual and emotional intensity. “For N° 5, Audrey was the first person who came to mind,” notes Jeunet. “We needed a very expressive actress in very short shots, someone who could act with her eyes alone, and God knows that I know her eyes well.”
Audrey Tautou will join the legendary league of women who have represented CHANEL N° 5. Her elegance and beauty follow in the path of the iconic faces featured in CHANEL fragrance campaigns, including Nicole Kidman, Ali McGraw, Carole Bouquet, Lauren Hutton and Catherine Deneuve. The cinematic partnership between Audrey Tautou and Jean-Pierre Jeunet continues the tradition of CHANEL pairing influential directors and their muses for short films, such as Nicole Kidman and Baz Luhrman, and Keira Knightley and Joe Wright.
The film’s soundtrack, “I’m a Fool to Love You” is performed by legendary soul singer, Billie Holiday. Jeunet selected the song “for its absolute charm, her distinctive voice and the lyrics that evoke the folly of an encounter of love.”
Designed to reflect Coco Chanel’s very modern fashion philosophy, CHANEL N° 5 is a rich modern floral blend of jasmine, rose, patchouli, iris and ylang-ylang with gentle precious woods. The world’s most famous fragrance, made its debut in 1921. Coco Chanel asked the great perfumer, Ernest Beaux, to create a fragrance that reflected her very modern fashion philosophy. N° 5 was her lucky number and it was the fifth submission presented to Mademoiselle Chanel on the fifth day of the fifth month of the year, thus a legend was born with the name CHANEL N° 5.

Everyone needs a little 'Pink' in their life! Victoria's Secret continues to do us right by their Pink line. How can one resist these adorable, reasonable priced Pink Peace totes for all of their beach necessities? I recently had the opportunity to try Nivea's new line of lip balms and glosses, A Kiss of Shimmer, A Kiss of Protection, A Kiss of Shine and A Kiss of Moisture. While A Kiss of Shine doesn't provide too much moisture (but lots of shine), A Kiss of Shimmer and A Kiss of Protection have been life savers while out in the sun and dry heat.
A Kiss of Shimmer in pearl has the perfect amount of color to it, a very matte finish that looks great under a clear gloss. A Kiss of Protection is a must in the sun. This goes on smooth and doesn't leave your lips chalky white like some SPF lip balms do. It's SPF 30. These two are permanently in my beach bag.
A Kiss Moisture is an unbelievable moisturizer. I keep this one by night stand and use it every night before bed. When I wake up in the morning, my lips are still soft from using this. It's colorless, flavorless, and the perfect treatment for lips that have been in the sun.

Ever since we watched our mothers get ready for a night out (and snagged a bit of lipstick and eye shadow when they weren't looking), they've been sharing beauty tricks. From fighting wrinkles to looking gorgeous with or without makeup, we must admit we've learned a lot (see Mom, we were listening!). And even though "a lady never tells," we couldn't resist sharing our favorite gems of advice.
This brush is a must for traveling gals. EcoTools Retractable Kabuki brush has been my staple as I've been traveling throughout India. This brush had me at 'retractable!' It sets my powder & bronzer beautifully, and feels like silk on my skin.
