scent to last

i love this perfume because all you need is a little bit of it placed near your ear and wrist and though you're sweating it creates a very nice scent,sofisticated .

Love It or Hate it

I love the smell and I always get compliments on what I'm wearing. I think it is better than smelling like a flower. It is more sophisticated and womenly.

A classic beauty

Wearing too much will surely be a put-off - very little is needed to get attention. I use one drop for both wrists and one drop for both sides of my neck- I never fail to get questions like, "What IS that you're wearing?" or Is that a new perfume?"

Generally Overrated

I've always hated the smell of Chanel No. 5; it simply smells "perfumey," not like any particular scent. To me, it's always smelled like "rich old lady"! I don't know why it's so revered as a classic favorite...

Classic and Outdated

Simply too heavy for use in our society where many people are sensitive to heavy cloying fragrances. . If you want to use a Chanel fragrance that isn’t so heavy but still has a classic angle, I suggest Chance or Coco. My mother used this CHANEL N°5 PARFUM in the 1970's and even then it was just too, too much. Might be worth owning for the nostalgic affect but as far as being a useful part of your beauty cache, no way.
