The whimsical scent, called Eau des Merveilles (French for Water of Wonders) has been more
described as surprising, refreshing and magical. Eau des Merveilles has notes that include elemi, bitter orange, Italian lemon, Indonesian pepper and pink pepper. There's also what the house calls an "ambergris accord," plus woody notes, including oak, cedar, vetiver, balsam of Peru and tears of Siam. Unlike most fragrances, which traditionally only reveal woody and ambery notes at their base, Eau des Merveilles' are noticeable throughout. And it has almost no floral notes - a rarity in a women's scent. Serge Mansau designed Eau des Merveilles' orange bottle to invite play, like a toy. It is rounded, save for three flat planes - two on its bottom and one on its back, so the flacon can be set down slanting right or left, or laid flat and used as a magnifying glass. Eau des Merveilles' outer box, created at Hermes, is like a theater showcasing the scent. It also is meant to resemble a secret drawer.

Advantages: Gorgeous Smell Disadvantages: A tad expensive
I bought this product myself, whilst going on holiday in the duty free section. Part of the reason for this is because it is very expensive, especially the eaudeparfum. This is a lovely fragrance that is sweet smelling that after one spray lasts for ages, which is why I think it is worth the money spent because it means you have to use less of the perfume, which with some others you have to spray numerous times, over the course of the day in order to still smell it. Whereas, with this one, that isn't necessary.
However, I recommend buying the eaude toilette if you don't want to spend as much money, but again, it may mean you have to use more of it.
Buy this product if you feel like splurging and treating yourself. It also makes a really nice gift and in my experience, lasts a significant amount of time. I think this is ...
This fragrance is like no other I have ever come across. It is totally unique. Recently new to the market but an instant classic. I sell perfume for a living in Harvey Nichols and this is a perfume adored by all. I've never once sprayed this on to someone's arm and they not have liked it. It can be worn by all ages. It's a long lasting perfume, the scent lingers with you all day. Recognisable. Classed as an oriental floral fragrance. It contains notes of hyacinth and citron, jasmine, pink pepper, fresh vetiver, orris absolute, amber patchouli and white musk. Very romantic and seductive. This product is available in 50ml, 100ml and now handbag size 3x30ml, as well as a range of bath time products. The Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche fragrance has recently been launched and is based on the original chance but a lot lighter and in my opinion does ...
Advantages: This is THE perfume - pure class! Disadvantages: Expensive but worth it.
people - on some the jasmine will prevail on others the sandalwood, but always that distinctive fragrance is prevalant.
It is feminine and floral - and yet not flowery, it is powdery it is vanilla - it is just pure class.
Chanel No. 5 is ladylike and can be worn any time of the day or night.
It's very esscence personafies style and yet it is mysreious and sexy.
The composition of the perfume is Neroli (the flower of the bitter orange tree), Ylang-Ylang , Jasmine, May Rose, Sandalwood ,Vetiver, Vanilla and Aldehydes.
Chanel No 5 is available as spray or bottle perfume, eaude toilette, bath oil, body cream, body elixir, body lotion, spray deodorant, bath gel, bath soap, pressed body powder and talc.
Imagine the lucky lady who received a gift hamper of all that - Mmmm might get my hubby to read this review ...
