Worldly, sophisticated, sexy...
In 1921, Coco Chanel wanted “a woman’s fragrance that smells like woman.” When perfume designer Ernest Beaux presented her with his fifth composition, the choice seemed simple and obvious: her perfume would be called N°5. It is an aldehydic floral, a bouquet of abstract flowers with an indefinable femininity. N°5 starts with notes of ylang-ylang and neroli, then unfolds with Grasse jasmine and May rose. Sandalwood and vanilla round out the composition with unforgettable woody notes. The first Chanel N°5 perfume was captured in a simple rectangular bottle with the top which resembled Place Vendome in Paris. In 1959, the packaging secured a place for the scent in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Notes Top Note: Aldehydes, Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli Middle Note: Jasmine, Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Orris Base Note: Vetiver, Sandal, Vanilla, Amber

Review of Chanel No. 5 by Jill Baldwin
.....mmmmmmm!!!! So many memories! I adore this perfume! I was about 18 years old when I first wore this, I am now 51 years old. I love it. The sheer thought of Chanel No,5 makes me think of so many naughty things with the two men I have loved in my life. (My first love who became my first husband and my second husband who I have been married to for 19 years...This really does make me think of so many good times. I love it.

Review of Chanel No. 5 by Deb Chilson
The first time I was introduced to No. 5 Perfume for Women by Chanel was from my mother. She bought me a bottle for a very special occasion--my first prom. I fell in love with it. I would never buy it for myself. Finally, after waiting 37 years, I asked for it for Christmas. I have had many compliments on its light and refreshing floral scent. I love it.

Review of Chanel No. 5 by Ana D.
No. 5 Perfume for Women by Chanel is euphoric. There is none other like this. I'd always wanted to try it and on my 15th birthday my grandmother bought me a bottle. I was in heaven. This scent is not for just anyone. Like any prefume it adapts to the chemical makeup of one's body. On me it smells refreshing and subtly mysterious. It's a classic work of art on which ever woman it chooses. This perfume picks you. You never pick it. That may be why so many people have difficultly wearing it. Well worth the price. Maybe the price is too low. This perfume will always make you stand out in the crowd in a way nobody can figure out why. Reminds me of pearls, red lips, and stilettos. Sensual, sophisticated, soft, elegant, classic. Essentially Chanel is timeless, but what else is new? A powder soft scent with a sexy floral aroma. There is nothing like Chanel. There is nothing like number 5.

Review of Chanel No. 5 by Linda Khan
Is there another aroma? True ladies know few fragrances...The little black dress, every hair in place, a seductive smile, make up that took hours, yet looks so very natural, hair salon perfect. An entrance that turns every head. No, this one ranks up there in the top five, a must on every ladies dresser, without question.
