I haven't used Chanel no 5 for a while because I've been given lots of others as gifts and have been trying to use them up. It comes in a plain bottle that is simple but elegant, which also descriebs the fragrance in some ways. It last a long time on the skin and is very feminine and highly suitable for an evening fragrance. It is one of my top 5 and I absolutely love the elegant sweet aroma on my skin. It is a timeless classic and has lasted so many years because it is so lovely. My mother also loved it.
While the price tag may deter some, I think it is worth the price for such a lovely fragrance and the bottle lasts for a while given you don't need to use a lot nor reapply often.
This is such an elegant and classy scent, I bought this as it is such an iconic piece. I find this to be more suited towards older people and although I don't wear it as a everyday perfume I love it nonetheless and adore having it in my perfume collection.
I would say that the perfume probably isn't for everyone and you're either going to love it or hate it.This isn't your light and floral kind of scent therefore younger people may find it a little too heavy for their liking.
I would say its quite musky and almost sexy.
