Fragrance Description: Since its creation in 1921, N°5 has exuded the very essence of femininity: An abstract, mysterious scent, alive with countless subtle facets, radiating an extravagant floral richness. In 1986, Jacques Polge, reinterpreted his predecessor Ernest Beaux’s composition to create a fuller, more voluminous version of the now and forever women's fragrance: the Eau de Parfum.
COMPOSITION With its unprecedented use of aldehydes, which add layers of complexity, N°5 was the world’s first abstract fragrance. The Eau de Parfum draws inspiration from the Parfum with which it shares its floral aldehyde signature. This floral bouquet composed around May Rose and Jasmine features bright citrus top notes. Aldehydes create a unique presence while the smooth touch of Bourbon Vanilla leaves an incredibly sensual trail.
HOW TO APPLY The Eau de Parfum comes in an elegant spray for easy application on skin or clothing.
Absolutely gorgeous, flowery, sweet powder bomb. This is similar to the pure extrait that Sephora doesn’t sell, but yes the newer reformulations are a bit weaker. They do better with aging. Initially yes aldehydes, but the real magic takes place on skin during drydown. I think the EDP is best for cool evenings, fall, and winter when you want a sweeter more powdery No. 5. I will be getting a bigger bottle, but probably direct or through a sales associate because I get way better treatment or more goodies than from overpriced Sephora nowadays. Sephora’s rewards program is a joke now sadly and the sales aren’t really worth it either most of the time.

The Ultimate Travel-Friendly Luxury
Chanel No. 5 is officially my signature scent. It took me growing up a bit to truly appreciate it (my cousin used to wear it constantly when we were younger), but now I can't live without it. Because I live life on the road and am rarely home, the 1.2 oz size is perfection. It’s the ideal size to toss into a purse or backpack so I can stay smelling amazing no matter where I am

Longest-smelling perfume I've smelled before
I wasn't always a huge fan of No. 5, it wasn't until I got older. It's more of a mature woman's scent. At first, it's very strong and prominent. It's the dry-down that makes this scent so wonderful and unique, reminding me of a woman, clean and powdering her face. The jasmine in this! You won't smell it quite like in any other bottle. What I've read before is that they play music so the flowers bloom evenly for picking, and it takes 12 flowers alone to go into one bottle of Chanel No. 5. I get hours out of three sprays. If I put it on to go to sleep, when I climb into my bed the next night, my bed smells of Chanel from the night before. I think anyone who tries this perfume would enjoy it.

HOW TO APPLY The Eau de Parfum comes in an elegant spray for easy application on skin or clothing.
Suggested Usage: -Fragrance is intensified by the warmth of your own body. Apply in the creases of your knees and elbows for a longer-lasting, stronger scent. -After applying, avoid rubbing or dabbing skin. This breaks down the fragrance, causing it to wear off more quickly. -If you prefer placing fragrance on your wrists, be sure to reapply after frequent hand-washing, as this tends to rinse off the scent. -Replace fragrance after 12 months. Expired perfumes more than a year old lose the integrity of the original scent.
