Chanel No 5

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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!

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've used Chanel No 5 for about thirty years. In fact for my twenty first birthday my mother gave me the tiny boxed Chanel eau de parfum and I still have this! The scent is still true as well. I keep it away from light in its box. I regularly buy Chanel No 5 EDT for myself. I love this fragrance and never tire of it. Its so grown up and truly makes me feel good. The packaging is also iconic. I was sent an invite by BR for the trial but missed out on a place as too slow getting to emails that day. But I can honestly say this is still my all time favourite and dare I say 'signature ' fragrance. I'm always going to wear this.

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

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.
