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.

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel has requested Ernest Beaux to create 6 perfumes for the designer house. He designed No.1, No.2 etc. to No.6.

Chanel No. 5 is a classic fragrance that has been around since for years and years. It is one of a kind, a classic reminiscent of the Hollywood glamour era. It is a beautiful fragrance filled with the class and glamour of an era gone by.

A timeless classic; One of a kind, Clean & Fresh, Great Smell, Great Value, Not Overpowering, Sensual

Too Expensive

Chanel #5 outstanding product in the fragrance market. Has retained its standing from initial conception. This is my favorite and only perfume to be used on a daily basis. Scent is not overpowering and has excellent staying power. Do not even consider other fragrances when purchasing.

Now I'm afraid I've had it too. I was a self-confessed non-Chanel fragrance wearer. Just the typical Chanels like Chanel 5 I felt for me too adult, too musty oll. Perhaps it is due to the fact that the sense of smell or the perception of scent is always changes.

My No. 5 perfume literally spoiled and went sour because I couldn't bear to use it over the course of a few years. What a shame to waste such a pricey bottle of juice. All I can say is I'm one for unique, sexy, and sophisticated fragrances that nobody around me wears or can pinpoint.

Unique air of simplicity, plainness and sincerity touches my soul profoundly, while rarest, eternal reputation of unparalleled perfume catches and holds my mind irresistibly. Explicitly described as the world most well-known, immortal essence is indeed on sale incessantly for almost hundred years,...

I have only one thing to say about Chanel No.5 in EDP (manufactured July 2014): MASTERPIECE. To me, there are no specific notes I can single out, but the scent changes and transforms as it warms up on the skin, revealing new undertones. Close to the skin it smells different than at distance.

This is my go to frag. This smell makes you feel confident and of course you smell great! It last longer then some other fragances. Nothing out there can stand next to chanel

Chanel's new No. 5 is heaven sent, or should it be heaven scent. Really a stunningly elegant fragrance that harps back to the classic No. 5 but with a modern twist. Could not recommend enough.
