  • Chanel No 5 perfume has always been marketed toward women ever since 1921. But can this Chanel perfume be worn by men as well? I would say that this perfume can be worn by both genders due to its unique aromatic profile.

    I'm male and wear No.5 - absolutely adore this fragrance! Loving the EDT at present and its clean soapy scent 😍

    as a man, when i wear this its very clean and elegant with my skin chemistry it is more woody on my skin, just imagine white florals and vanilla blooming out asymmetrically out of a tree
    I appreciate this on me with elegance

    Yes - but for men I would personally caution against the current EDP which pushes the florals forward too much for my taste and is a relatively modern re-working of the old formula that does change the balance compared to the older versions. My favourite is the vintage Eau de Cologne, in which the florals play second fiddle with more of a bergamot cologne opening with the stunning base and the real civet far more in evidence. As you point out the base of No 5 is essentially the same as most men's fragrances, it's perhaps only the aldehyde overdose, ylang ylang and jasmine which push it into the "female" territory.

    I can say that many perfumes are totally female or male. Some really have no possibility of being considered unisex.
    However, Chanel N5 is so perfectly blended that depending on the chemistry of the wearer it reacts in a wonderful way.
    My dad used to steal it from my mom and he smelled amazingly!
    I began wearing it 10 years ago and to my surprise and delight I smell totally different than either dad or mum.
    The base notes are what we can consider typically male and on my skin top and middle notes last almost nothing before blending into the gorgeous base notes.
    So far no one has recognized it when I wear it. That comes to show that N5 has a “magic” formula that works like very few.
    I adore it as well as the newest versions like L’Eau and Premiere.
    Lovely and very interesting video by the way!

    I'm male and I use it because it's made from French ROSES, SO IT'S GOOD FOR GOOD LUCK, FOR ME IT'S AN ESOTERIC FRAGRANCE

      Same here. I was shocked at how much I loved it, and have no problem wearing it myself. I have the EdP and pure parfum, both of which are gorgeous and entirely unisex to my nose.

    I find that the EDT is the most wearable for a man owing of course to the civet and woody notes in the base. Given that it is an EDT the florals tend to hang around for a shorter period of time particularly if you only apply on skin(on clothes you might have to wait several hours for the florals to dissipate enough for the male sensibility). By the 45 min mark on my skin the EDT dries down to a warm semi-sweet/ambery/waxy, luxuriously soapy fragrance with a hint of the animalic that sits smack dab in the middle of unisex. The opening is on the feminine side of the unisex range but thankfully by the time you get to where you need to go it becomes comfortably unisex for a man. I'm not a fan of animalic notes but in this case it works beautifully to ground the florals to a slightly darker base(but not in that pungent and aggressive barnyard way) making it more accessible to the men that want to enjoy this masterpiece.
    It is important to note that the EDP(and all other versions for that matter) does not appear to have the civet note and the floral accords hang around far far longer, even on skin, so I personally would not feel comfortable wearing the EDP as at best it sits on the far end of the feminine side of the unisex range.

    Really love your videos and takes on perfumes! I’m a man and find Chanel No 5 to be perfectly unisex as well.
    In fact, I find the German classic Tabac Original EDC to be similar to No 5, but instead of jasmine and ylang ylang, it has a floral carnation (not a sharp one like in Jovan Musk Men imo). It also doesn’t have civet. But the profile is similar.
    Look forward to your next videos!

      I agree, I always found Tabac to be the male marketed version of No 5. I will say that the EDT is the most accessible for a man and sits comfortable unisex, especially on skin, but not so much the EDP or the other variants.

    Loving this video big time 🙂
    I am a guy and wearing Chanel No.5 (Pure Parfum) right now. In addition to that, I love-love-love the original Coco in all it’s concentrations.
    I am a man that lifts weights and trains others in physical fitness. I don’t think that those things are “more manly”; but I do believe they are more brash or hard in character.
    I like for fragrances to bring balance. In other words, I don’t need a stereotypical masculine fragrance that would simply highlight my attributes, which are physically seen.
    At times I prefer to wear softer more stereo typically feminine fragrances that help to bring softness to the hardness of my profession and physical attributes.
    In other words, from the perspective of the senses, I get to be the personification of gentleman… the ability to exude and harness both fierceness and gentleness.
    Fragrances like Coco and No.5 are a constant personal reminder that balance is key.

    There are differences in the Extrait and the flankers. At the moment, I prefer L’Eau and especially the EDT. The EDP definitely not as much. Find what you like and wear it!

    I wear a copy of Chanel No. 5 because I like its odour. I can wear both feminine and masculine perfumes depending on my mood.

    I wear No 19 and have done since I was 18 in 1987, I am a male. I used to wear Limara Body Spray, when it existed in the 80s, impulse Jenusse the lot. I have never worn men’s fragrance never liked it, I may as well wear toilet cleaner or for a change bleach. Would never wear men’s ever.

    • @samgrant83

      No. 19's marketing or total lack of marketing is a complete disaster in this day and age, it's one of the most clearly unisex of the Chanel classics, and one of their finest compositions. It's in desperate need of a total relaunch as a universal fragrance, which it always has been for those in the know. The vintage EDT is the best of the bunch

    As a dude, no. 5 EdT falls somewhere between my Tabac shaving soap and Cartier Declaration d’Un Soir Intense. It’s lighter and more polite than both of these actually. So yeah, totally wearable for me

    You mentioned how there are "womens" perfumes that have masculine notes. Thats an issue ive seen in just about every part of the fashion world. When it comes to women, nobody really cares what they wear or how they wear it, whether its marketed towards women or marketed towards men. But when it comes to men, so many people act as if there are only a few specific things a man is allowed to wear and treat it as blasphemy if a man wears something that was marketed for women even if it works well. Like how they may compliment a man for wearing chanel no 5 until they find out its a "womens" perfume, then they'll change their mind.
