The Chanel No. 5 fragrance film sees Margot Robbie and co-star Jacob Elordi in a story of two lovers’ missed connections, where the road to get there is just as important as the rendez-vous itself. Robbie puts on a dab of the scent and a red tweed two-piece suit before hopping in her convertible to meet up with Elordi, but fate gets in the way.

“My first memory of Chanel No. 5 is the Nicole Kidman commercial directed by Baz Luhrmann,” Robbie says. “I was probably 14 and Moulin Rouge was so big. I remember the commercial so vividly. And because Nicole is Australian, it gave me that first little glimmer of like, Oh, maybe these dreams are within reach. Someone else from my country did it. Maybe I can too.”

Robbie’s signature easy glamour – today she’s wearing a black-and-gold tweed Chanel dress, her sun-kissed hair in loose waves with a soft mauve lip – is a perfect match for Chanel. “In Australia, we like effortless beauty, but in a casual way,” she reflects. “I think French girl beauty is also effortless, but in a more put-together way. It’s hard to achieve, but I think it’s the thing we’re all striving for.”
