I was really on the fence about this one, my step-daughter bought this for me, so I probably wouldn't have bought it myself. But I love it. I can't stand it at first spray, really it's almost to...

I got this as a gift, while I admire the Chanel fragrances I particularly didn't care for it, so I ended up giving it to my sister. It smelsl strong and more for a mature woman. It also depends...

Dear G*d. Please don't wear this stuff. It is an assault on the senses. All of them. When people wear this stuff I can smell it, taste it and my eyes water. I often wonder if it is stinging my...

The day finally came and I did not even notice it: I can finally wear Chanel No.5 and enjoy it. I approached the Chanel counter countless times trying this perfume on and on and it did not seem to...

This smells a bit like baby powder and musk, at least on me. I don't find that this is a light scent. It's a lovely feminine scent but it's just not for me.

On the right person, this is a lovely soft, warm, feminine, glorious scent. Sadly, on me, it smells like jasmine soap. And If I want to smell like that, I can buy a bar of... well... jasmine...

I now understand why this is considered a classic since practically forever. Yes it's soapy and yes, it smells quite chemical. That, however, strangely doesn't stop it from being glorious. It's...

I am shocked at all the negative comments on this fragrance. I have worn this for over 20 years. It's the only fragrance that doesn't smell too powdery, too flowery, too strong, you name it. A...

I can smell Chanel No.5 on anyone. And this is not a good thing, because I think it is one of the most horrible smelling fragrances out there. It's a shame, because it's so classic and who WOULDN'T...

It has a great staying power but I absolutely hate this fragrance. It smell like an old lady and cheap, awful in my opinion. But if you like it, wear it.

I am sampling this perfume right now (have 2 vials and have worn it every day for 4 days). I like soft powdery yet aggressive scents and although I love the warm, cuddly feeling I get from this, I...

I never liked this but as I've gotten older my tastes have changed a bit & I decided to give it another go. One of the reasons for my strong dislike was probably because the testers are always of...

Very nice classic fragrance. One of the only ones my husband likes - he is very very picky.. I love it, at first I was like it's ok - but it has to grow on you. Now I adore it and can't get...

One day I was at Macy's and ran into someone I knew working at the perfume counter and she gave me a sample of Chanel #5--against my protests---too old--this is for old ladies. Well this "old...
