You learn about Chanel No5 best by wearing it. A little goes a long way. Just tiny bit on your wrist early in the morning and let it 'dry down' over a few hours because it needs to bed down into your skin. I adore No5 - it makes me feel confident and sexy (even as a fifty-something!) This perfume deserves respect. You need to give it time and treat it gently, then it will reward you.
No. 5 is the kind of legend that you simply have to respect even if you can't stand it.
Perfectly said! :)

People who cannot stand it never really smelled it.
@@mmc5005 Stupid statement.
@@amradzinovic4086 What stupid about it? For your knowledge not everyone has the same smell perception, only a few people can sense a large number of chemicals. We are all different. If your pallet is limited it will affect your perception of particular fragrance to the point that it will be unbearable or at least very unbalanced. There is a brand of science called sensory, go and educate yourself.
It smells exactly like baby lotion on me :) i never got "grandma" vibes, it just smells wonderfully soft and delicate and young to me. I feel like it was meant for me, its the perfect perfume for going to sleep. Marilyn knew what she was doing
Thanks for sharing!!
Chanel no5 was one that i smelled growing up, but once i bought the most recent version, it was a pale shadow of what it once was.
It used to be powdery and similar to what it is now, but it had a very unique...floral-y, smokey..sweet drydown.
My experience with it is to try the edt, in the tall bottle with black lid; its a lot closer to what the older edp smelled like
Great review, as per yoosh.... I love N°5, it's one of my favourite scents. I have it in the edp, the parfum, eau premier and had it in the edt ... love them all! It makes me feel comforted, and cozy. Words can't comprise my love por it 😻😍!
Thanks for the review!
A classic. Christma's gift that brought me lots of compliments when I wear this iconic scent. Perfect for the night in mild weather🌷
Hooray! I'm so glad you've reviewed this!
The EDP was released in 1986 and was formulated by Jaques Polges.
Best line: If this smell would have a color, then it is gold. Thank you! Please make the review of Chanel COCO!
Thanks. I would love to, I have almost bought it so many times.
I love your review, your description totally resonates with my experience of this one. I agree about the subtle resinous aspect, and the dustiness that tickles my nose a bit. The drydown is heaven, more so when I have it on shoulder skin (fewer sweat glands there so it doesn't fall apart, or go sour, tmi) the No.5 edp does feel very much related to Coco Thanks.
Always wondered about it..thanks for the review
It's an absolute stunner in my opinion. It grew on me as I didn't appreciate it initially but man I love this now.
Yes it is , sadly ouch was sniffing an old maybe off bottle ! Not best way to test it out. One day he will try the pure Parfum or the edp or edt in a fresh bottle and be bowled over, it’s something that grabs you and embraces you , achingly beautiful but you must be ready for the love affair !
Chanel NO 5 A bottle is sold ever 5 seconds throughout the world and I agree the dry is the powdery smell is much better I like it
I really really love no5!!! I like premiere and L’eau as well. Thanks for the vid!!:)
Knocking on the door to 10k! Surely right around the corner for you and well deserved. Cheers!
Made it!!! :)
I've never used the edp, only the etd about 20 years ago. Excellent review as always Thomas.
Omg yesss I absolutely love Chanel no5 it smells so good it’s so classy and when it dries down it is even more amazing 😍😍
Male viewer here. Was hesitant to try, however just sprayed a sample of it on my wrist and...wow. You definitely get the Jasmine and lily in the opening but adore the drydown which becomes soapy, vintage, warm and classic. It definitely transports me to another time and one I definitely will buy a full bottle of to wear to bed. Great review as always.
I like this video "style " and Yay! I literally just bought my very first Chanel parfum ever and of course, got no.5! I was neither mature enough for it nor capable of truly valuing its legacy until now. I adore it so, it's just a classic, pure and simple lovely!
I love this review!
I'm also now hooked on your channel!
Welcome! :)
My mom used to wear it and I loved it on her Unfortunately it does not like my body chemistry and it smells like cat pee on me.
Very good review :-). It is very comforting and elegant scent. I love it.
I've just recently found and subscribed to your channel. I've had a love affair with perfume since high school, many years ago. Your videos are so much fun, especially since I've been looking for something new to wear, and haven't found very much that I like. Was somehow reminded of a perfume my father brought to my mother after WWII, Habanita by Molinard. I found it on Fragrancenet and it just came today. Have you ever reviewed the Molinard fragrances? Would love to see them reviewed. I'm now addicted to your channel, and love your reviews!
Welcome! Oh gosh yes Habanita is LEGENDARY! It's held in very high regard amongst the fragrance community. I have only reviewed one Molinard perfume after visiting their factory in Grasse. It's "Nirmala" which has quite an interesting story. It's here....ua-cam.com/video/HyPTvhjr2IQ/v-deo.html
I love Chanel N°5 this timeless fragrance smells wonderful On my skin doesn’t smell like old lady when people smell it on me they actually love it I feel like it was made for me and funny enough I get nostalgic feelings when I smell it and mind you I never smelled this fragrance before but I feel like I worn in it in another lifetime!! Perfect Gift to give
I think people have an association with no5 because of when it was made. If they know? it's a jerk reaction. A blind test would be so different, especially in the dry down. I'm guilty myself of disregarding it as stuffy and ancient, then my mum wore this around me and I saw the beauty, still vintage smelling and not to everyones taste but an undeniable classic.
My mother wore this, and I started wearing it in the early 80s. It was the only fragrance I wore, and did so for years. It was the gift I wanted every Christmas and was a staple for me, wearing it for years, then moved away from it. I recently purchased it, and was not in love any more! Not as I remembered all those years ago. It seems heavy..I love Coco Mademoiselle so will stick with that.
I smelled the EDT at a store a couple years ago and while I didn't dislike it as I used to, I still didn't *like* it.
Buuut then, I decided to get a few vintage bottles and see how I felt. I have 3 (different sizes); 2 EDP and one pure parfum. I don't know if it's the different "concentrations", or the fact that they're vintage, but they smell SO much better than the EDT I remember. The buttery nuance you describe is there. The powder is like velvet. It reminds me of my grandmother in the best way-- It's comforting and calming, with this relaxed sensuality beneath. Sometimes I detect a hint of something like cola, and can't put my finger on what it is.
Glad that you are beginning to enjoy this fragrance! It's a great feeling to find you've developed an appreciation for a scent after revisiting it. And how lucky you are to have that older bottle! :)
Thanks for the comment! I totally get the spice but can't quite figure it out. This one is really one that needs to be in the air instead of close up, it's like the air infuses and makes it what it's supposed to be. So weird.... :)
Please, review Chanel #19, Vol de Nuit, Miss Dior, Fidji and Magie Noire. I would love to listen to what you think of them.
So glad you reviewed Chanel no 5, would die to see your take on no19 & Cristalle
Maybe!! I don't own either of them though. :( Booo
@@ouch110 how would you rank the classic Chanel fragrances and which is your favorite?
The No.5 I had when I was 15 (1990s) smelled different with the current no. 5. But overall, they smell like the powder my grandma covered me with since I was a baby. Always brought back memories and it’s comforting.
Yeayyyy finallyyyy... the review of the iconic scent... i'm so happy bcause i really want to know your opinion about No.5... But i love Eau Premiére 2015 version more (the one with Giselle as a model)... it's more wearable for me and of cos it's very long lasting too...
Greeting from Malaysia ☺
Selamat! This one took me a long time huh? haha. I have smelled Eau Premiere and its SO beautiful. Definitley my favourite of any Chanel no5 flanker. :)
Eau premiere is stunning in the dry down....
Great video 👍🏻🤗🤩 I love Chanel 5 - but I like edt more than edp . Edt it's more coca cola vibe , fresh citrus , powdery mix . Totaly one of a kind !!!!
It was quite long road to finally love it 😉. I think it comes at some " age " ( 😱🤪🤣)- you have to be grown up enough , to love it . And mostly is that there are only two ways : You love it or You hate it . 😍🤩
Chanel 5 smells like my childhood summer holidays in the peak 80s, front door open, playing outside of the house,I don’t know that’s the vibe I get. Some body sprays use to smell like that. That’s why I can’t get myself to like it.something like my great aunt will smell of when I would hug her when I was a little girl.Good review,keep well.
What took this so long? Haha! Glad you did this my friend! Love from the Philippines!
Yay finally! :-) Would also love to hear your opinion on N 5 Eau Premiere, which got me to understand Chanel N5 for the first time.
Considering the EdP was created only in 1986, the closest you will get to the original 1921 formulation is by smelling the pure parfum or the EdT, which were created in the 1920s. As Katie Puckrik says: "The 1980s era Eau de Parfum is like a carricature of the original Eau de Toilette, drawn with a big fat marker pin." ;)
I have smelled the premiere one and think it's beautiful! As I remember its like a more transparent but still powdery citrus thing...it was lovely.
Esu premiere is beaut.....
Chanel no. 5 never live with out it
The only perfume that i use. It smells very soapy & sophisticated. Love it!
same
.....the secret to it is that it settles into a beautiful timeless fragrance on the skin. It takes time to settle a good half an hour.
THIS! People always say it smells too strong or sharp, but once it settles on the skin it smells so soft!
Classic & iconic . Great video !
Thank you!
You guys please don’t bash me to hard but I’ve been using Chanel No 5 & layering with pink sugar. My boyfriend loved it & I have received compliments. The combination kind of reminds me of Prada candy. Thoughts please!
I got vintage perfume bottle of Chanel #5 from my mom. I think it's in 1970s version. I'd like to get nowadays perfume and compare them. I will let you know when I get it.
Great review!! Pretty persuasive, but I don't think you've changed my mind about it. I want to like it, but I can't.
Thanks! It's deffo not for everyone and I still don't like it, I just has this weird moment of appreciating it. Perfume is weird.
Great review, a fresh take on an old favourite! Any plans to try Dior's new launch 'Joy'?
Yes! I have a sample so have been testing, it will be my next review. :)
The first time I smelled it I didnt like it but I decided to spray it on and ended up really liking it after it dried down a bit...I had minor knee surgery last november and I was so nervous and scared; the nurse brought me a warm bedsheet to comfort me before I went into the operating room, I clutched it and suddenly a smell filled my nose, it smelled like fresh slightly spicy laundry...it almost smelled like chanel no 5 haha! I smiled to myself,calm at last😇I'm now obsessed with this perfume and will have to buy it😋
:)
OMG I can so much relate to this! I got my first bottle of No 5 in a similar situation and it was not the first time neither will it be the last that I will get a bottle of a special scent to help and accompany me in difficult times!
Love the vintage Chanel N5 Edp.
I love no. 5. My mom hates it but I love and I will.
Kisses from Poland :).
Thanks a lot for the video!
I don't like No. 5 either. It's too powdery and aldehydic for me. But I watched your review 2 times because I always wanted to know why a lot of people love it that much :D.
I liked the addition of music to the video, but I think it's a bit loud.
Soz!
it is from another era and feeld vintage, BUT for some reason Guerlain managed to have their even older perfumes sound much more modern than Chanel 5
Dear Thomas, Please try the vintage pure parfum. Edp and EDT versions are completely different. I have a pretty big collection of Chanel fragrances. Kind of Chanel hoarder/ addict. The EDP is more aldehydic whereas the Parfum is rich, warm and sandalwood in the drydown. Also, only in the pure parfum their Gras jasmin is being used. If you would like to identify the age of the bottle, there is a barcode engraved at the back of the bottle. Kind regards, Anna
Classic great video
Oh ouch my lovely best reviewer of fragrance, please get a fresher bottle to try, and let it settle for an hour you WILL change your mind , stale perfume is not the best way to try this stunner. Or hun please try the pure Parfum, it’s a bit different to the edp. Not every one loves the edp , although I do , but Parfum is stunningly beautiful, more soft and creamy,you should enjoy that version. Lastly I think you would fall in love with the elixir version, it’s more woody in the best way. I love all the versions it’s yummy yummy yummy ! it will grab you in some version one day I bet you a fiver , haha :)
Haha you will win the bet! However, this bottle is not stale, it's so much of how I remember it to be. I recently discovered that the original no5 has 15 castoreum, and something like 10 musk tonkin, gosh...I can imagine it was craaaazy!
It will get you one day ! Mark my words :) :)
I’m only 30 and I’d heard stories from my mum that my Nan used to wear no5 when my mum was younger and it wasn’t very well liked because it was really heavy and strong. So I was really surprised when I tried it tuesday that I liked it. In fact I liked it so much that I purchased the original no5 the l’eau no5 and the no5 eau premiere along with chanel coco.
I love it! So does my mom ☺
I would want that bottle just cause its really vintage...ive tried over and over to like it.. just can't...mind you sometimes we don't like a scent on ourselves but others do....I found this happened when I wore dolce red cap...
now I did smell this on a sweet old woman back in the eighties and she smelled fabulous....I couldn't believe it when she told me it was no.5
:) 1st love Chanel No 5 and 2nd love Shalimar. Period.
Chanel did a great job of adding formulations, not replacing them, unlike Dior. The original 1921 formula is still around and is the Parfum concentration. The Eau de perfume is the 1986 formula and hasn’t changed. L’eau and Premiere were added as updated versions. It’s a classic that really blends well with the chemistry in my family 🥰
This is wrong. The current EDP (especially post-IFRA) is different from EDP from even 10 years ago. EDP from 20 years ago is very different. Parfum extrait is not as smoky and deep and animalic as the vintage extrait.
@@TheYouthquaker All true.
@@irisrose4732 The current EDP smells very astringent. :(
How lucky that you acquired that gem!!!
Sometimes perfume gems come out of nowhere into your possession!
No 5 is the closest thing that smells like the energy and power of love. 😀❤😀
Look at the batch code engraved on the bottle on the bottom at the back......
I like this review.
Thanks!
My mother bought me This instead of mademoiselle and I literally cried tears of disappointment, I was so frustrated that I couldn’t help it but to cry. I don’t think she’s buying me anything ever again 🤣
i have a pure perfume, its fantastic
It really smells like Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo. I’m starting to love it.
:)
As a matter of fact Johnson and Johnson baby powder's smell is based on no5.
@@L-Ondee I didn’t know that. Super interesting .Thanks 😊
Its funny how people smell all kinds of scent ingredients in this fragrance. I mainly only get alcohol. I smell strong alcohol in all notes, a bit of bitterness, something strong chemically hospital-like and sometimes a little citrus/absinthe. But mainly alcohol. Its both when smelled in the bottle and on my skin. I know its authentic and I got it on Notino and paid a fortune to get it imported to Northern Scandinavia and I was so sure I would like it as I love many fragrances this is compared to. So I made my first blind buy on Chanel No 5 and I can't even gift this to anybody because people hate it. My mom got a headache and said it reeked of gone off cleaning chemicals, 2 of my friends said it was pure alcohol and didn't like it and the second hand store I tried, didn't believe me when I said it hadn't gone off ...
Aldehydes are a weird thing! It could be what you are smelling, they are bizarre!
I love it on older people. I hated it on me though I like the scent of freshness
Can you have a comparison between coco and no 5?
Hmm I wound't really compare them to be honest. No5 is a floral aldehyde and Coco is an oriental spicy, they are in total different categories. :)
When I saw that you'regonna review No 5 (knowing that you you don't like it) I wa like WTF!Today must be an upside down day.^^ No 5 smells waxy to me and of course soapy- almost as if you took a bath in orange tic-tacs and soap and you and burned old candles at the same time.It also smells to me a bit like toddlers- orangy ,sweet and sticky.For me the true secret of Chanel perfumes is to wear them casually- to your denim shirt, to your bad hair day.At least for me they work better when not glorified.Have you reviewed COCO edp already? This on is my favourite Chanel fragrance.It's hard to review fragrances that we know so much about, so I have to applaude you. Have a great day! Xo
Awww LOVE your comment and I'm so familiar with upside down days! haha. Coco is another one that would be a scary review but lemme tell ya, I love Coco WAY more than this one. I have considered buying it so many times....maybe in another 5 years I will review it lmao!
Hahaha....no worries, take your time^^It's so worth waiting.
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews I never liked Chanel #5 but always felt like I was the only one, good to know I’m not. Somewhere in the world there must be a Chanel #5 haters club. I shall find it.....lol
Sorry but you are showing an EDP spray. That bottle was launched in the very late 1990es. At first in 50 and 100 ml. The 200 ml around 2010 and the latest is the tiny 35 ml (previously a flat atomizer with a black cap).When you see the current colour (light yellow) of the post 2015 EDP yours seems to be that gorgeous greasy 80es vanillic sandalwood. The EDP was created and released in 1986.
:) I knew it wasn't one of the new ones but I had a feeling it was definitely not the oldest one either. :) I was kinda waiting for someone to maybe figure out what the hell this one is haha. It's so confusing
Did you check the batch code? They repeat it every ten years and your bottle is definitely pre 2015
That’s still a 20 year old bottle...
This one only works on some people. I only knew one person who it smelled good on. It didn't even seem like perfume more like an aura for her and none of the nastiness that it had on others. I like the Parfum current version, and the L'eau which seems best suited for young girls or boys and men in general. Batches of perfumes by Chanel made 2019 onwards is watered down extremely except for the Parfum now. And even the parfum are not what a parfum level quality/longevity should be for the price and tiny quantity they give you.
:)
So, hear me out darling, as I am someone who swore for years I would never touch Chanel 5, a committed hater of aldehydes (though I adored some of the Les Exclusives)!! However, as one becomes more familiar w/ the Chanel DNA (through Exclusives perhaps), one slowly but surely will find her/his way to the source!!! It is a bit like developing a pallet for good wine, a sophisticated pallet only grows through time and education. I promise you, you will LOVE this perfume b/c it is a work of art and timeless, not unlike the Mona Lisa!! Let me know when you are a convert 😉. You want a modern 5, smell Eau Premiere.
Thank you! I actually have warmed to it quite a bit, but still not enough to wear. I sold my vintage bottle to someone who adores vintage so, it went to a good home. :)
Hi love ur video,,,have u tried chanel leau?
Hi Mohammed! Thanks! Chanel L'EAU? I have tried some, which one do you mean? no5?
@@ouch110 yup no 5 l'eau
I think amouage gold woman is way better i think
I’m not a fan of No 5 but L’eau and Premier are worth trying!
L'eau is lovely I actually wore it the other day, I just wish it lasted longer.
Thank you for reviewing a classic, Thom. I have the EdP and the extrait. Have you tested the EdT? I have heard it is nicer than the EdP, but I have not bothered to test it so far. I like No. 5. I like all Ernest Beaux's compositions. I love No. 22, and absolutely adore Coco in all incarnations.
Here is a link to a 1959 interview with Coco Chanel herself that you and others might be interested in screening.

Do channel 5 leau.
its like movie every critic loved but i don't get it!!!
He moves so much, I was afraid he'd break the vintage bottle the whole time 😢😛
He does, and he was scared too. :)
@@ouch110 lol
😂 Love my 5 forever.....💕
A second-hand or antique shop smell. Time capsule.
My favorite no 5 is EDC. Yum! I do NOT like edp or edt.
Cubby Levi what is EDC? Eau de crapola?,....lol
Elisabeth eau de cologne
I do not like Chanel no 5, nor similar old type perfumes, but your review is very good!
It’s not old it’s a beautiful classic. One day todays newer perfumes will be old in that sense because new styles will take over and what’s hot today may not be in 50 years time, no 5 is still going to have a following, we Me a least lol ;)
Just re purchased 2 Big Bottles!
woooo for you! Do you like the vintage?
@@ouch110yasss I do in the Extrait! But I wear the modern EDP with it!
I might be the one who doesn't understand the iconic fragrance.
Its all about the dry down.....
I get some Coca Cola in EDP x
How many circles did you do with your hands? 😂
❤💜💛
When i've smelt it, it smells like toilet or grandmas. I want to like it but it has a strange smell.
Did you smell it on skin? It smells better when it’s on the skin on a long time
😅😅
Its a fancy soapy smell
chanel no5 is so old smell....maybe .....i dont no
Old, classic, legendary!
Mysore sandalwood is Indian😄
Yes it is! And sadly very rare now. :( It's the best.
i just find this basic af and just meh. it gets its legendary status because it's been around for so long and did something that others didnt in its era. compared to today's fragrances....it pales.
:)
Y’all do know that Ambergris is whale poop and in many high end fragrances, put there to make the fragrance last longer.
Yeah we are all proudly wearing whale poop. What must the whale be thinking....lol 😂
Haha, it's not exactly poop, it's more like a lining that the whale produces to protect itself from squid beaks. Either way it's nasty but still the most precious perfume ingredient that exists!
