Household & Personal Products Industry, June, 2009

* May 5 may be best known as a Mexican holiday commemorating the Battle of Puebla, but in New York City this year it was Chanel No. 5 Day. To celebrate the iconic fragrance and the unveiling of its latest campaign, May 5, 2009 was designated by the city of New York as Chanel No. 5 Day and a portion of Fifth Avenue was renamed Avenue No. 5 for the week.

The occasion also highlighted the debut of Chanel's new short film "Train de Nuit, " which is exclusively being shown on www.chaneln5.com. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and starring Audrey Tautou, the film depicts brief encounter between a man and a woman traveling to Istanbul on the Orient Express night train.
