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

Chanel No 5
What can be said that hasn't been already? A timeless classic that still is a number one seller over 80 years after its launch in 1921.
Created by Earnest Beaux, No.5 was the first perfume ever created using so much Aldehydes, which gives the fragrance its sparkle.
Legend has is that Beaux presented Chanel with ten fragrances to choose from. (Or so the story goes...) Chanel chose perfume number five, hence the name.
Floral-aldehydic, a bouquet of abstract flowers with an indefinable femininity.
N°5 Eau de Parfum is not simply a different concentration, but an olfactory reinterpretation, which is faithful to the spirit and base notes of the original composition.
The 35 ml spray comes in a flat, rectangular bottle with a black and gold cap. The bottle with a glass cabochon available in 50 and 100 ml sprays.

Reviews
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!
Tips: Don't overdo it!
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.
Tips: No tips, but I highly recommend it to anyone who likes an elegant, spohisicated fragrance that isn't too overpowering :)
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.
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.
Tips: Keep it away from sunlight and try to keep it cool. Mine seems to be escaping from its bottle and it makes me sad.
I have battled with this scent on and off for years wanting it to smell great on me but unfortunately this and another scent in the same vein called Arpege just don't work on me - I can't pull off heavy aldehydes and jasmine combos this fragrance is composed of mostly aldehydes and they either work on your chemistry or not, like Musks and Chypres these either work or they don't if you have the chemistry for aldehydes this is a wonderful super chic, timeless powdery classic - as another reviewer has mentioned this is indeed a talc-like fragrance but it is not grandma's bath powder, it is a super chic scent like a high-end makeup fragrance from years gone-by. I eventually gave up and gave mine away as I just can't pull it off (I am and oriental spicy kind of girl) but if you are one of the lucky ones this will become your signature scent.
Tips: Try before you buy! This scent needs you to wear it, not for it to wear you!
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.
Tips: Because it is pricey I use it for those special nights out on the town and have other perfumes for other uses like a everyday one etc....
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.
This perfume i was introduced to in my early 20s.It is a classic,elegant and fresh. Marilyn Munroe used to wear it too lol
Over the years I've had many bottles of this. For me there's nothing better, this would be my pick anytime. Such a classic 1921?? And still going strong.
