Product Information

Any content or materials which you do not own and/or are otherwise infringing or for which you have not secured all necessary rights. The contrast first set in place by the interplay between the sparkling aldehydic veil and the honeyed rose and jasmine notes continues as the fragrance moves into its dark base. The timbre of woody notes, including vetiver and sandalwood, gives a surprisingly masculine facet, which offsets the decadent languor of the floral notes. Vanilla and coumarin envelop the base notes, while plush, rich musks further soften the rough edges. The parfum has an alluring radiant quality, and yet, the sensation overall is soft, caressing and gentle. If you are only familiar with Chanel No 5 in other versions, discovering the parfum will be like finding a completely different fragrance. N°5 L’EAU is worn freely. With no preconceived ideas. Instinctively. Simply. Lavishly. Day. Night. For you. For others. meg jamieson: My first memory of Chanel#5 is like an ad copy; my mother, preparing to go out with my father, pausing to dab just a little behind my ears. Their nights out were as infrequent as the luxuries my mother afforded herself, and I imagine as highly prized. Today Olivier Polge, CHANEL Perfumer, has reinvented N°5, demonstrating its flawless and inspiring structure. With the subtle touch of a goldsmith, he dissected the original formula and captured each ingredient to understand its true role. Olivier Polge created a new balance with an ideal dose of freshness, capturing in turn the essence of his generation. ART OF PERFUMING

According to an oft repeated story, the iconic Chanel No 5 fails miserably in fragrance market tests, with the derived conclusion that the success of this great fragrance is based on the clever marketing strategy and carefully maintained brand image. Considering that today’s market tests have produced some of the worst excuses for perfumes, I do not find this to be the logical inference. Although an elegant brand image is an important part of the story, it is not enough to explain the mystery, the draw and the timeless beauty of Chanel No 5. I realize that trying to write a post of reasonable length on this topic is an ambitious task; after all, Tilar Mazzeo wrote a whole book on No 5 and yet many felt that she missed some important elements. Instead, I would like to describe Chanel No 5 in its different forms as it exists today and to hear your thoughts. I am convinced that the reason for its iconic status, is above all, the impeccable quality and allure of the fragrance itself. What are my delivery options ?

Lila: Thank you for your Chanel 5 review. We share the love for EDT, which I find the most wearable and suited to my personality and needs. Powerful top notes, dominated by Ylang-Ylang and Neroli, are intensified by aldehydes. The alchemy of Vanilla, Vetiver and Sandalwood create a warm and vibrant trail. This was about a year ago, in the very very beginning of my perfumista journey (oh yes, I am a newbie). Along the way I discovered that I adore vintage Arpege and №22. Oh well, said I to myself, it is time to try №5 again, dear. So in a mall I filled up the sample vials with №5 EDT and Eau Premiere. When I tried them, I was in awe at how much I loved №5 EDT and how different it smelled from what I remember and used to wear. Someone told me that the formula have been tweaked some time in early 2000s or late nineties, so a reformulation has worked for me. Now, that’s a first. So, №5 EDT is on my list now. I love its tenderness. I won’t wear it as a suit of armor as I did with the my Mom’s bottle, it is a completely different story.

When Chanel and all good perfumes became available, I was already 20 and, of course, I started testing them before I could afford them. At that time, although I loved the scent, I could not wear anything close to Chanel 5, as I felt it was much too strong/ bold for me. I started with more neutral, almost unisex perfumes an slowly grew into something more serious. Every now and then I tried Chanel 5 – and it is the only perfume I was patient with, as I usually give up on trying something I don’t like from the first try. This scent somehow stayed with me but was telling me I was still not prepared for it. Until one day, about 8-9 years ago, when I tried EDT again and we fell for each other! I don’t know if my body chemistry changed or just my mind, or maybe I just grew up into the woman this perfume can dress. I am very particular about the perfumes I wear: I like many of them but I cannot wear but a very-very small number of them, as I need to feel them as part of my skin/ body. I felt so ladylike, spraying on that aldehydes bomb which became a bit soapy and floral afterwards! I used it up and actually never thought about it again.

Eau Premiere? Are you asking what about Eau Premiere? Mals86 mentioned earlier that it didn’t smell nicely on her Mom and in her blog I read that it smelled like a celeb fruity floral. That’s what it did on me, so that was a no. That it is so popular, and that it continues to sell so well… let me share a story from my experience.

Then, full blown perfume onset later, a vintage bottle of extrait at an estate sale, and its beautiful smoothness captivates me, but still rarely. I am happy to have it wear me, but wear me it does, never quite melding. Gorgeous stuff. Less abstract than its forebears, the composition of N°5 L’EAU radiates citrus like sun-drenched honey. Top notes of lemon, mandarin and orange soar skyward with the aldehydes. Like a second wind, you can hear the rustle of flowers. Rose melds with airy jasmine and a new fraction of ylang-ylang, more modern than ever. Behind this floral whirlwind, vetiver and cedar impart a novel dynamism, softened by white musks notes. Never has N°5 been so natural. So fresh. INSPIRATION Samples from my personal bottles: extrait de parfum (review mostly focused on 2007 version), Eau de Cologne (1970s), Eau de Toilette (review focused on 2009 version), Eau de Parfum (review focused on 2009 version.) The eau de toilette is a vibrant echo of the floral bouquet launched by Gabrielle Chanel in 1921. A warm and bright version of the original fragrance that comes in a refillable travel spray you can take with you anywhere. COMPOSITION

In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel asked Ernest Beaux to create "a woman's perfume with a woman's scent", rare and powerful. The nose presented her with a visionary composition that made unprecedented use of aldehydes. Mademoiselle chose the fifth sample of the fragrance, and decided to name it simply N°5. In 1924, she launched the N°5 eau de toilette. ART OF PERFUMING Star rating: 5 stars–outstanding/potential classic, 4 stars–very good, 3 stars–adequate, 2 stars–disappointing, 1 star–poor.
