    This is a review for the EDP. I don't understand the hype with this fragrance. I just smell fragranced soap and I disagree that its a classic, its dated. The lasting power is exceptional though. I...

    After first trying Chanel No5 in the 1980s and deciding back then that "it's not for me", it took me until early January 2019 to sample the iconic perfume again at a duty free store, right before...

    This is exactly what my grandmother smelled like. There is a note of nostalgia about that, as I remember the beautiful vivid blue cashmere coat she wore when we went to the opera or the ballet and...

    I bought this after knowing its history and the fact Marylin Monroe endorsed it. I wore it and my husband said it reminds him of old people esp his mother! I stopped wearing after that!

    Edit- The strength and lasting power of this is more like an exceptionally weak EDT level not Parfum at all for a relatively recent batch. This is the 3rd time its happened to me with newer bottles...

    I see so many perfume reviews that overuse the description "old lady perfume," but if there's any scent I'll use that description for this would be it. It's a classic so it's hard to knock it,...

    I adore distinctive, rich, bombastic classics... so I should love No. 5 more than I actually do. It’s instantly recognizable as itself; and its blend of clean aldehydes and creamy abstract florals...

    Years ago I thought this was wonderful, always tested it in stores and when I finally purchased the big bottle I found it included a strong smell akin to rubbing alcohol. I think I got a bad batch...

    Original review deleted & resubmitted 22nd April 2018 to reflect Chanel No 5 presently. I feel incredibly strongly about Chanel No 5. the original - not the flankers. Thanks for reading. Very...

    This is my favorite perfume. I mostly use the Chanel no5 EDT (1921) as this comes closest to how my beautiful mother use to smell. I tried the EDP (1986) but it is too harsh, too sharp and too...

    I am a perfume collector with TONS of knowledge and experience with fragrance. Here's my take on Chanel No. 5's timeless popularity: It's safe. It's clean, inoffensive, mediocre silage... mediocre...

    I gave this a 4 simply for the fact that it can come off as strong and overwhelming at first spray. When I originally received this from my mother and tried it I though “old lady” perfume. But...

    It's weird as 10 years back I really didn't like No 5, not at all actually. Meanwhile, I don't know why, but I really started to love the unique note No 5 has. I still don't own the orginial scent...
