It's a classic shelf staple that every woman should have. Sometimes I do think the scent is a little more mature than I should be wearing as a 30 year old, though I do think that could be an attestment to it's sticking power over time. I wear this on special occasions and it makes me feel fancy, but sometimes I wish I could diversify the scent a little as it doesn't really match my bodycare scents which are larglely vanilla tones.

My favourite scent ever!! Ever since I first watched friends and heard Rachel say she uses it I’ve always wanted it! When I wear it I feel so bougie and powerful!

I first smelled this fragrance straight from the bottle at a Nordstrom and thought, “Ew…I wouldn’t touch this fragrance with a ten foot pole.” Wow, was I pleasantly surprised! I received a sample from Chanel and just out of curiosity, sprayed some on my wrist. This goes so well with my body chemistry. Once settled into my skin, I get this amazing cloud of warm vanilla, bourbon, and delicate florals with a hint of sweetness. I feel like a 1950s Super Starlet when wearing this perfume. It is now my weekend perfume because of how comforting it is. I can easily wear this every day. It has a matronly air too it. It does remind me of my Grandma, but let me stress that my Grandma always smelled amazing! It’s like taking a luxurious bubble bath with the finest French soap and lightly powdering yourself afterwards. One of my Grandma’s favorite rituals. I feel like one of the special, select, few that No. 5 just blends so well and shines so beautifully with my body chemistry. I have heard others complain about how unpleasant it smells on them. Some what sharp and artificial, but not so with me. I never thought in a million years that I would like this fragrance, but now I utterly enjoy it! p.s. one spray is all you need EDP.
