シャネルNo.5の香りの文学的系譜:プーシキンを手掛かりに

摘要

近現代の香水史では，20世紀以後の香水を現代 香水と呼び，それ以前と区別することが多い。確かに 19世紀末から20世紀初頭は合成香料の実用化，香 水製造へのファッション業界の参入，受容層の大衆化 などの多面的かつ構造的な動きが生じ，香水そのも のが大きく変化した時期であった。%This paper discusses the imaginary root of the scent, Chanel No. 5, in relation to the works of the Russian poet, Pushkin. Ernest Beaux, the perfumer who created Chanel No. 5, was from Russia and loved Pushkin's works. We study Pushkin's scent images in comparison with Baudelaire's sonnet "Correspondances'' in " Les Fleurs du Mai" along with the differences in their nature images. In Pushkin's works, materials are harmonious with spirits in nature. This is based on the doctrine of the Orthodox church, which is one of the ideal roots of modern abstract arts in the 20th Century. The same intention to abstraction can be found in Chanel No. 5.
