Disappointed. I'd heard raves and raves about No 5 for many years. Last year, I tried the sample bottle at the department store and was sad. Fortunately, I also tried Coco and THAT was lovely.

I have this perfume and I don't really like it, I expected a different type of smell it's too strong, it's smells like a perfume that usually older women will use, not a smell you'll usually smell on a younger woman.

I dislike this perfume. I know its a classic but I prefer a more floral or a clean scent.

Although Chanel No. 5 is a symbol of timeless beauty and a classic fragrance, it's not for everyone. Like a previous commenter had mentioned, I had also always heard wonderful things about this scent, but was sadly disappointed when I had finally tried it at a department store. It had reminded me of little old ladies who spray too much on and everyone nearby ends up choking on the overwhelming scent. Now, every time I smell this fragrance, elderly women is the first thought that goes through my head, and I don't want other people saying that I smell like their grandma when I walk past. While this might be a great scent for some, it's not the best choice for me.

Gosh why would anyone buy an expensive perfume when they could use a 20 dollar one that works just the same or maybe even better?

This is a lovely scent--very classy

i agree that its not for the young at heart but it is for the grown and experienced. :)

Expensive but good. If you can afford it then your lucky...

Great. I had the pure parfum, that comes in the lipstick size case. It lasted me a full year. One spray and you are done for the day. Pair it with Chanel no. 5 bath soap.

I like this scent very much a little goes a long way. The thing about some perfumes is you can use a very small amount so it is worth the price.

Smells so good !!!!! The scent is to die for. Reminds me of luxurious night in fue tropics. Stays on all night. And my husband loves it. Thousand out of a thousand

Chanel no 5 is a heady strong classic blend. More womanly than girly it takes a strong sex appeal and lingers on the nose. As it has more notes and complexities than many modern scents it takes some getting used to...use sparingly at first. But oh! There was a reason Marilyn Monroe wore this.

Very Elegant, Classic French Perfume Chanel No. 5 is an all time classic, and favorite of mine. It's not watered down like a lot of American scents. It's rich and long lasting. An all year round scent that smells good on everyone I've ever smelled it on. It makes you feel like a woman! Very feminine, not too flowery, not overbearing. It's for the young, and the young at heart! I love this fragrance and will always have it in my collection. It's a classic and always will be!

such a great scent I love the way this smells, such a great scent for every occasion. Would love to get this as a gift too.
