no. 5

My other scent: Chanel no. 5, the original avant-garde fragrance.
I prefer the edt in this convenient refillable size.
My beloved No. 19 variant is edp.

Chanel has excellent products but Chanel # 5 is not my favorite, but Chanel # 5 is Coco's first perfume so it is special - But I like Allure de Chanel - But my favorite is Champs Elysées de Guerlain, très floral...thanks for your comments....

I must not have the nose for "fine" fragrances, most all smell the same to me and give me headaches. But I suppose the designers ones are the type that hours later they smell completely different--like my Dior Homme Eau Noire. I like how it smells at 4 o'clock--completely different from the initial spray. My mom has Chanel 5 (she never wears perfume or makeup EVER--yet her counter is completely full of this stuff) and I didn't care for it, yet when I smelled it on the paper I sprayed it on a week later it was fantastic.

next time I'm at the counter I will check these out. Definitely happy with Chanel Black Satin on my nails by now I have already destroyed my mani, but so far, so good!

Style Sud-East,
No. 5 is certainly special. Cutting edge for its time, first abstract perfume.

Pret,
Yes, No. 5 gets softer, prettier as it develops and loses that initial sparkle from the aldehydes.

Faux Fuchsia,
Part of Chanel's appeal is the packaging, for sure.

sealaura,
I recently found that my Chanel nail colors last much longer if I use their base and top coat. Highly recommend.

I still believe Chanel make the best perfumes. I like the scent of no. 5 though I feel it doesn't suit me. I'm with you all the way on no. 19.

Speaking of Chanel, I've been wanting to get their Pour Monsieur fragrance and I'm much to curious over acquiring a bottle of Cuir de Russie!
