Advantages: sensual and feminine floral hart, good staying powder Disadvantages: aldehydes - not everyone is used to this smell; can be found old-fashioned
ChanelNo. 5 will always remain a controversial perfume. Although used and praised for decades it's still a love or hate fragrance. I think it's because of aldehydes, the most important constituents of this fragrance. They possess a waxy, fatty smell that often makes think on washed and dried clothe. Aldehydes are found in nature (for example in a citrus peel), but never in amounts used in ChanelNo. 5. That makes this smell a bit unnatural from one side, but it also gives an interesting exotic twist.
In my opinion EDP is much softer than EDT version - the aldehydes are less sharp and the floral bouquet is more prominent. On my skin it starts with a fresh citrus note that slightly fades into a floral hart of orange blossom, rose and jasmine. An ultimate feminine bouquet, but modernized with waxy sharpness of the aldehydes ...

Advantages: stays put. doesnt change Disadvantages: if spritz too much it gets too strong
This the IT perfume of all time.
ChanelNo 5 is the perfume for all ages, seasons, occasions. I personaly use this perfume. It stays put. never changes, and a bottle could last you a long time as the strong essence gets attached to you, your hair, or your clothes then it will not be removed or evaporate unless you give yourself or your clothes a good wash. Not that you want to get rid of it.
It is a smell that could not be associated with anything except elegance
Every lady, no exceptions at all, must endure the experience of using this perfume.
You can tell alot about a woman's scent. and definatly you cant go wrong with a startling classic like ChanelNo 5. You cant get classier than this. Even if you try ...
