Chanel’s Holiday 2025 Glow-Up: Shimmering Oils for No. 5 and Coco Mademoiselle

I see your sparkle, Chanel. And yes, I’m looking. For Holiday 2025, Chanel drops limited edition shimmering body oils in three shades tied to its heavyweight hitters: No. 5 White Gold, No. 5 Beige Gold, and Coco Mademoiselle Pearly. At $145 for 250 ml, they’re playing in the luxury playground with a bottle size that actually feels generous.

Let’s talk shades and mood, because shimmer is never one-size-fits-all:

• No. 5 White Gold reads cool in my head, more champagne than bronze. It suits winter skin and the crisp sparkle of No. 5 itself, which is all aldehydes, jasmine and a clean, elegant lift. Picture a fresh-snow glow rather than beach oil.
• No. 5 Beige Gold sounds warmer, like honey light. If No. 5 is your signature but you want something skin-like and soft, this is likely the most forgiving golden tone for olive and deeper undertones.
• Coco Mademoiselle Pearly hints at a silvery, opaline sheen. It should play nicely with Coco Mademoiselle’s bright citrus and patchouli structure, giving that crisp modern-chypre vibe a cool halo.

A few practical notes from someone who has worn more glow than any dermatologist would recommend:

• Shimmer likes to travel. Apply to shoulders, collarbones and shins, then give it a few minutes to set before dressing.
• Oils don’t replace perfume. They build a radiant base and extend the aura. If you wear No. 5, lay the oil down first, then a light mist of the eau de parfum to target pulse points.
• 250 ml is substantial. If the sparkle is fine-milled and the texture is dry-touch rather than greasy, you’ll get mileage through party season and beyond.

Is this a collector move? Absolutely. But it’s also smart positioning for fans who love the ritual. The names say it all. No. 5 White Gold for the frost-kissed romantic, No. 5 Beige Gold for the understated glow seeker, Coco Mademoiselle Pearly for the cool, polished flirt. I’ll be swatching in daylight and evening lighting, because shimmer has opinions under LEDs. If you already live in No. 5 or Coco Mademoiselle, this looks like a glow-up worth the wrist real estate.
