Chanel No 5

Everyone knows that Chanel no. 5 is a timeless perfume! This is my favourite number one perfume as it lasts ALL day (or night) the smell sort of reminds me of talcom powder, in a GOOD way though. The initial scent isn't too strong, and just makes you feel very elegant when wearing it.

I never grow tired of this perfume! It's timeless, classic perfume that I will continue to wear for the rest of my life.

Perfumes that bring back memories obviously really stick with everybody. This is my all time fav, for peeking back into my past where I stared up in child like wonder at the most glamorous woman in the world: my mother.

This certainly isn't a scent for just anybody. You have to have certain kind of class about you to pull this off these days. Because of it's distinctive sultry musky yet crisp smell, it definitely is better suited for night allure rather than day time wear.

Every girl should try this perfume out at least once.

I was gifted this for Christmas and felt excited just to own anything by the brand Chanel. The smell is very concentrated so use this sparingly! It's a bit too intense for my liking but sophisticated none the less, I was horrified when I saw the price tag so I personally wouldn't recommend it simply because there are so many perfumes to choose from which are far bigger and much cheaper.

I got this perfume as a part of a 5 (I think) mini parfume gift set from my momma. I used all the Coco Chanel, and moved on to this one. I must say at first I wasnt too keen, but I have grown to love the smell. Its so classy and elegant and it makes me feel classy! It is quite expensive but well worth the money, as a little goes a long way

Such a classic. My gran found a half full bottle in her beauty draw and gave it to me, I was so excited. I now only have a smidgen left in the bottle but i'm too scared to use it all up (because I can't afford a new one) so it's just sitting on my bookshelf amongst all my other perfumes looking pretty. It's such a timeless perfume and can be worn by all ages. Obviously the bottle is quite simple but I think it's so lovely and sophisticated. This perfume doesn't come cheap but if the price doesn't bother you then give this a try for sure!

This really is a timeless classic. Chanel No 5 is a scent that feels miles ahead of it's time. There aren't any really similar smelling scents to this and, unlike most scents from the bygone era, this does not smell like another run off the mill oriental; aldehyde or musk fragrance.

I suppose there are some scents that have a similar "feel" to this, though I wouldn't exactly consider them to be substitutes.

The ones that come to mind are Jean Patou Joy and Lanvin Arpege

No 5 is incredibly wearable as an everyday scent, though it's best suited for fancy occasions and colder nights

Like all other Chanel scents, this has great silliage and lasting power

I first tried Chanel No. 5 in my grandmother's collection. I have always loved Chanel as a brand but I was only a child so there was no way my parents would buy me such an expensive perfume (I mean, what child wears perfume anyways?). I loved the smell of it on me and I was quite delighted when my grandmother gave me the last bit of perfume on the day of my school ball and told me that I could wear it. It's soft, elegant and sophisticated and personally I think it fits me perfectly. The perfume itself lasts until the next morning when you take a shower. When I wear it I feel powerful and sexy and it gives me just that little confidence boost. I'd definitely rate it as value for money.

Just like every wardrobe must have a little black dress... I believe perfume must have Chanel No.5

I love wearing this perfume it makes me feel like a night on the town very safisticated, but soft scent that anyone will love even those around you that will have to smell it when you on a night out on the town with. Friendly little number like I said a must have.

My mum had a bottle of Chanel No 5 on her dresser when I was a little girl, it was still in its little box. I would sneak in to her room, open the box, delicately take the glass stopper off the bottle and sniff. It is not nostaglia that makes me love this perfume. It is a classic, stand alone perfume that is deeply defined by its warmth and lingering powder tone. It is a statement perfume, which is best worn when you want to feel elegant and powerful. One drop lasts a long time. I liken it to wearing liquid gold, because it is such a well known timeless scent.
