No. 5 Perfume for Women by Chanel
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.

Review of 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 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.

Review of No. 5 by Kami La




I've always wanted to wear Chanel No.5 but felt that it was too mature for me. I would smell it all the time in department stores, hoping that I'd come to appreciate it because I envied women who could pull it off. Unfortunately, it just didn't suit me. Last year, my sister bought a bottle for me mistaking it for Coco Mademoiselle, and I didn't know what to do with it. I sprayed it on myself and asked for my boyfriend's opinion, but he said it was "just okay." That didn't help. Slowly, I began using it more often, trying it on to see if it would grow on me, but it didn't quite happen like that. Then one Friday night, while my boyfriend and I were running out to pick up some wine and a movie, without thinking anything of it, I sprayed myself with Chanel no.5. It was like an epiphany... suddenly I found myself LOVING it! It made me feel sensual and modest, and I couldn't stop trying to catch a whiff of myself... just like that, it became an essential part of my collection. Chanel no.5 is what I can only describe as a true perfume. It truly does everything that a perfume is supposed to do. Classic, classy, sensual, and seductive.
