I very much anticipated the launch of No.5 Eau Première . Granted, not everything from Chanel has enchanted me. I could live without Chance and the numerous masculine Allure flankers. Les Exclusifs could have possessed more tenacity.

Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere is a surprise; Unlike original No. 5, it is dynamic, exhilarating. It opens and evokes a refreshing melodic symphony of lively citrus (lemon) top note, rose, jasmine so smooth and well orchestrated. This is a sensory pleasure that exudes happiness and a feeling of elegance.

Eau premiere lasts longer on the skin then Chanel no. 5 EDP & EDT. It resembles the EDP a lot as the EDT dries down much sweeter (which I prefer). I don't understand why this one lasts 2 days on my skin and the no. 5 EDP & EDT only last an hour!

Having reached middle age with the man, the mortgage, the pension and the ISA I figured it was time I actually bought a bottle of this perfume. Why on earth I've waited so long I don't know. Every girl should have a bottle of this and wear it to bed.

I WAS EXPETED MORE BIGGER.

Bought for my wife. She loves it. Just exactly what she wanted.
