Chanel No 5

I recently bought some Chanel No 5 when I went through duty free after trying samples. I really wanted to win a BR trial and was determined to try it anyway. I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase; the fragrance is quite strong though it's not sickly or flowery and I am very pleased that it lasts all day and isn't over powering.. If a a perfume can exude confidence, this one does. With a sense of power and just sexy enough to wear every day without overdoing it! I'm going to wear Chanel No 5 everyday, just because I love it!

I have the refillable 50mL eau de toilette spray which I bought for myself as a 17 year old. It is an elegant black and gold square case which contains a simple square glass bottle refill. My husband buys me a refill whenever I run out and the cost is never mentioned! I have never been without my signature scent for 25 years now. The fragrance impression is of summer flowers, chiefly jasmine, with a rosy heart and shimmering freesia trail. The sillage is assertive without being overpowering, and lasts without reapplication for many hours. Appropriate for day or night wear. Chanel No.5 is costly but will truly reward your investment with long wear and that confidence boost that a truly remarkable fragrance gives.

My number one all time favourite fragrance. Have used it for over 10 years. I have the 100ml EDT.

It has a deep powdery scent that lasts through the day. Every now and again during the day I can smell it, and it makes me smile.

Yes my nana used to wear it, but it transcends generations. There are other 'softer' Chanels that the shop assistants sometimes recommend, but nothing compares to Chanel No5.

Love the tall glass bottle with magnetic lid, and the timeless packaging. One of the most expensive perfumes on the market, but worth every cent.

Chanel No5 can be worn for power/confidence, for evenings, for day, and even for weekends. It is like a chameleon that works in any situation.

I love Chanel, but do I love Chanel No 5 because Coco Chanel is my idol or becuase it is an amazing perfume? After comparing it to some other more classic perfumes and several new ones this is the conclusion I have reached: Out of the classic perfumes Chanel No 5 is an instantly identifable scent which can give you confidence and status. Against other classic perfumes I personally found it to be one of the more desirable. I would contribute this it its lighter scent and perhaps the lemon floral top notes as oppose to the spicy scent many others had. Chanel No 5 also competed a little more with some of the new scents for younger women as they also seemed lighter than some of the classics. If you want that middle ground scent this is the one to go for, if you like what it represents much the same. For younger women I would suggest this as a special perfume not an everyday perfume as some of the lighter perfumes I find are more desirable to younger women. For older women, No 5 or another classic will often be more to their taste.

A timeless classic that still is a number one seller over 80 years after its launch in 1921. A floral fragrance with a vanilla base with sophisticated, fleshy and flowery notes. There is something so lush about the Chanel range. I am a very picky girl when it comes to perfumes but I can never fault the No 5. Super glamours and chic.

This happens to be my extra special, out on a dinner date, very special occasion scent. I have loved it since I was a wee dot. Unfortunately a lot of ladies my age don't seem to love it as much as I do. They seem to rate it as an old lady scent, baby powder has also been suggested as a similar smell. I don't particularly mind that it's not as popular with people I know as I love it and feel grown up wearing it.

I have longed for this perfume for ages, it has been the perfume of my dreams and the day I received it I felt a million dollars, thanks to my lovely husband who made that happen.

There is something eternally romantic and sophistacated with the Chanel brand, anything it touches I want, I just think it is a grown up thing, that every lady should own a piece of, it must stem from my grandmother who only wore Chanel and I admired her multiple pieces from a young age.

It is expensive, but worth it darling! and who deserves to be splashed in luxury everyday! If I feel down or blue a spritz of chanel on me never fails to raise a smile. It has a warm, woody scent that is laced with sweet white florals like jasmine for a full body scent that just envelopes you into a huge hug and that hug lasts nearly all day. By 4pm I can still smell that same spray I misted on myself, not a single note of this perfume mutes it is full on or not at all.

Taking prized place at the front of my display there is also something magical about the bottle, it's chunky, heavy glass square bottle, with chunky lid and the embossed label bearing it's name it is all just perfect, understated and chic.

I fear I have run out of words to describe it, it is simply the best of the best and I don't think I will ever find another perfume that makes me feel this way and smell amazing.

I love the smell of Chanel No5 on me. Some people say it is an old lady smell and yes it is on some people. But like any perfume, the smell can be different when activated with their very personal body chemistry. I am lucky that it is just gorgeous on me but unlucky that my favourite is such an expensive perfume.

Such a reputable product which is totally understandable once considering the quality and elegance of the smell. So soft and easy. While so delish. Really grabs your clothing and lasts for the whole day. Love putting on clothes weeks later with the smell still absorbed into the fabric

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.
