Chanel No 5

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 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 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.

I bought a 100 ml bottle duty free a couple of years ago and would only wear it for special occasions however I recently got given a bottle for my birthday and have decided to enjoy every day. The scent is very light and floral with a lingering smell. It makes me feel very luxurious and decadent .The bottle is simple and elegant. I love this perfume and get lots of compliments when I wear it. One of the best presents I have received.

This is my most favorite perfume EVER! I use it on special occasions and when I go out on the town. The scent is very soft with a floral tone and it lingers around all day when I use it. I prefer the spray bottle so I can spray extra if I feel the need. I remember my mum had a bottle that you would dab on when I was little so it's always been a special perfume for me!

I was given my first bottle of Chanel No 5 for my 18th birthday and have been in love ever since. The most timeless classic of them all. This is definitely my signature fragrance. This is a gentle floral fragrance which lingers for hours after application. The type of fragrance you will be remembered for. Most of all your mood lifts immediately on application. The packaging is relatively simple but sturdy and attractive. It does not need anything else to "sell" it other than the fragrance. To me, to be able to wear this is the height of luxury and worth every cent of the high price you will pay for it! Definitely one for special occasions.

I am the proud owner of a beautiful 100ml edt of this classic fragrance. It was a gift from my husband. I apply it in the morning and it lasts for hours...usually after lunch I pop a wee bit more on. I find it sensual and alluring and feel all woman when wearing it. While it has many floral notes it also has sandlewood, vanilla and patchouli which just come together beautifully. A little goes a long way and it lasts for ages.

This scent is classic, sophisticated, and brings with it a range of memories to so many people who smell it when I wear it. It is great as an evening scent for those special nights out, but still a long wearing, everyday scent that works for school run, work, lunches and fun.

My first bottle of Chanel No.5 was a gift from a family friend just before my adventure to Paris and Italy. That was two years ago and I'm still hooked on this fragrance! It reminds me of all the wonderful times I had on my OE. It lasts ages once sprayed and I feel sophisticated, sensual and delighted to be able to say that I am wearing Chanel. I'm not a fan of super strong floral perfumes, so Chanel ticks the boxes for me with its notes of sandalwood and vanilla, which balance out the floral notes. Definitely a classic, signature piece for every classy women out there!
