I have always thought Chanel's scents were too grandmotherly and older French woman smelling. Even at my age I felt it was too strong. this one gave me a horrible headache! I prefer Dior.

I understand that CHANEL N.5 is in all likelihood, the ultimate classic perfume. HOWEVER, I have a hard time really liking it. For someone like myself, just shy of 21, it is far too mature a scent...

I wrote a review for this awhile back, but am redoing it--- As with many of you this scent was an olfactory staple of childhood. But as I've gotten into perfume more and more, I can't relinquish...

I got this perfume as a present and liked it...at first. However the dry down on me was off putting. It just stank on me! I gave it to a friend who loves it & it smells really good on her. Lovely...

My dad bought me my first perfume when I was 5 years old and this was it! I've been a loyal fan since! I adore this scent. Not everyone can wear it though. It highly depends on your own personal...

I was so excited to get a chance to smell this when we finally got an Ulta store- and I was so disappointed when I sprayed some on my wrists. It was much too strong, powdery, and distinctly...

I'm surprised that lots of people find this perfume strong...to my mind, it has a mystery and when you wear it, you cannot be forgotten. My mother uses it religiously but there are certain...

My best friend wears this perfume and its so distinctive. We are in college so sometimes I think the scent is a bit mature. (My mom also wears it at times) It's versatile and smells differently on...

This perfume's scent can be quite stifling--I also found it too overpowering for a person in their early twenties. -M

Sorry, but I am not my grandmother yet. Both my mother and grandmother wore this scent when I was little... I just can't bring myself to smell like an old lady. It's too harsh and not a pleasant...

I really am quite baffled by this perfume. Its supposed to be a classic and its world famous and Marilyn Monroe used to wear it-but to me it smells like crap. Maybe I am missing something? Maybe...

My mother wore this perfume every day of my life until I was 18. The idea was to have me associate a scent with her, a stable and unchanging whiff of her femininity. And so perhaps I am biased....

I have to say that this perfume smells awful! To me it smells like gross old soap. It reminds me of dehydrated piss in a bottle with a Chanel label slapped over it.

Iconic is all I have to say! That may be cliched, but I firmly feel like Chanel No. 5 is a classic with good reason. I'm biased, seeing as Coco Chanel fascinates me as a designer- but this perfume...
