I bought L’eau today after trying it out on my skin the whole day and I was impressed as you with the change it did on my skin. The change from very citrusy fresh smell to a very cashmere like sent which was so more me and more sophisticated. So great review!!! Keep up your great vids
This is my all time fav fragrance. I literally rewatch this video like 4 times just because i love the way you describe it. Ugh love it and love ur reviews dacob. U r refreshing to watch on this platform
I’m sure you’re going to laugh at me. I was testing this in the Deparment store and watching your review 😂 The SA at some point asked me what am I watching...my answer: shhhhhh... Super Dacob should tell me any moment now to buy it or not😬 Great review❤️
OMG!!!! Reading your words MADE MY DAY!!!! hahah! Sooo sweet! Thank you for that Monika! And I hope whatever choice you made in the end, you were happy when you left the shop!
I just came across your video while searching for Chanel 5 L'eau, and not only did I find great advice but also a very inspirational person. You are so sweet, and had me mesmerized to the very end. Thanks for all the wonderful words, especially from such a young man.
I love this perfume so much. It’s so warm and comforting and so light and clean I feel like I could wear this anywhere and anytime and whenever I smell it I get such a happy feeling
I just tried Chanel N5 l'eau and I keep smelling my wrist. This fragrance is so elegant, soft (but projects well) and innocent that I makes we want to buy it right away. My birthday is next month and I'll ask for this precious fragrance. Love your review! I'll subscribe ❤️
Thank you Jeri! :) Welcome to the fashion bunker family :) Yes, L'EAU is super elegant and innocent! Very well put! Wish you a lot of fun for your upcoming birthday :) xoxo
Smelled this yesterday and absolutely was drawn immediately. Love this version for spring. And I really love the No 5 EDT, so I had no expectations of this one coming close, but I will pick this up for sure. Love you, Dacob!
I love this in a rainy day. I know this is probably not the way Chanel intended for us to experience. For me I feel it brings out meditative and innate mindset + emotions. I also like that it’s so easy going too but it maintains a character and sophistication. Well done Chanel and to you for all these addicting videos ✨
Hi Super Dacob, I'm from Slovakia and I love your reviews for Chanel perfumes. I used to write poems. Your reviews have the quality of poetical language. Pleasure to listen to you. Thank you.
This has been my perfume since its release, and i agree with the atomizer! Hehe And I also agree that it doesn’t go cheap on you. So elegant.. and yes, it stays on me for about 8 hours. I love how you describe it. So accurate ❤
Thanks to you I’ve just purchased it!!!! I hope I love it and along with that I purchased 4 more. My first ever Chanel purchases. Perfume wise💓💓 you’re my fave person to watch and the way you describe everything is so pleasing and I just love it 🥰
I LOVE your shirt on you. No 5 L'Eau and the new Les Exclusifs Beige are on the top of my buy list... I also have and love Chance Eau Vive.. Olivier Polge is my hero atm.. Thank you for such a thorough review :)
Dear Dacob, I've just my hands on the twist and spray packaging of it. What a gem! Totally agree it could have been among the les exclusifs line. 🎉 Warm hugs, as always 🤗🥰
The new no.5 always reminds me the soap smell I used when I was very little. I was into chance when I was in The university. But Now I am more coco and no.5 girl.
Totally agree! When I smelled this the first time I loved it! Better than I dare say Chanel N5 parfumerie original. When I think of the original I like it but it was older powder scent that you easily recognize but sophisticated and feminine. It definitely help me appreciate why Chanel n 5 original was so good for so many years. I think femininity has change there bit in L’eau. Femininity can be all the strengths of the original but much more underground. A little metallic and messy. That’s the L’eau for me. It grows more beautiful and because you find it’s far more complex in subtlety.
Great review, dear. Now I definitely need to put my hands on that N° 5 L'Eau. Never really paid attention to the flankers, since I really live for the original, but it's about time now hehe. And that bottle really is so cute!
You recorded this video exactly 3 years ago, and I am loving you today... and loving this amazing version of my timeless Chanel N° 5. Kisses from Chile!!
This was a really informed review and why i love your channel! I am still conflicted and trying to find the No. 5 in l'eau... Your comment for l'eau as Les exclusifs is spot on. Most reviews are favorable, so I want to give it time really let this develop.
so glad you like L'Eau, yay! love your reviews and stories and in depthness you go into. its like going on a journey when i watch your reviews. hehe im still waiting for bottle of L'Eau to arrive, cant wait! thank goodness for samples to tie me over. hehe lots of love to you Dacob. Enjoy your new L'Eau!! xoxo
Eau I'm trying this one tonight, and I have to say I'm loving it. I agree with you SuperDacob that the dry-down is really interesting... It reminds me of Bois des Iles, in character. I don't know why, but it does. I'm so happy that I tried this.
Dear Lisa! You are so right! It does have something of Bois Des Iles in the drydown... some soft sandalwood-y touch to it... very well observed! :) xoxo
Just found you and I love you already, Chanel lover! This is a great review! I viewed it after seeing you buy the red bottle of this and classic No.5! Now I can’t wait to have my lunch break to run to the boutique and buy it! Hope to find the red one, too!
L'EAU is fun and vibrant, especially in summer months but it is great I colder months too. It does not come close to the pure perfume but it is a good extra nuance to the tradition of N°5 :) xoxo
Fabulous Review!! I am a Chanel lover, my favorite House, bar none. But I didn't have this one so I just treated myself for this year's birthday. It should be here in a couple of days ... truly looking forward to it, thanks to your review. I a l m o s t chose Nº5 Eau Premiere. Think I'll be happy with this one as the Les Exclusifs are my favorite scents ever done. Nice to hear L'eau has that feel. :)
I got way excited when I saw the notification and it was the review. :D I adore the original Premier, and think I may now have to add L'Eau to the stash. Thanks for the review.
This was the review I was waiting for. I tried this at Heathrow T5 on its launch day but did not buy as the Chanel boutique had the Les Exclusifs ETD's available in the 75ml and I felt I wanted to purchase two of those whilst they were still available. I hoping this will be available in duty free on my way back, finances willing. Thank you for your advice on how to spray this to obtain the best dry down. Your Chanel reviews are the best, they reveal your passion for the brand and I'm so pleased you are liking L'eau, I know you were sceptical. Nice that Chanel can still sneak up and suprise !!!!!
Thank you so much Paul! Yes, the Les Exclusifs EDT have priority for now.. at least until October, when they get officially discontinued... plus if you got Les Exclusifs at the airport you probabyl got them for tax free.. which would be even better ;) haha I was sceptical about L'EAU but I am pleasantly surprised. Its not a revolutionary fragrance by all means but its fun and fresh so I welcome it :) xoxo
Yes! I have been waiting for you to review this! My birthday is on the 15th and I am turning 21 and I am thinking of getting this for myself. I hope it is not too juvenile for me. Excellent review as always. :)
Oh it will be a super fun birthday! I am sure :) This one will not be juvenile at all. It is elegant and fresh so all is good but I would still try it on first. Do not blind buy it. xoxo
Hello Dacob. Your descriptions are like poetry. I could listen to you all day. I adore Number 5 and like many people it was my first Chanel fragrance. Over the years I have added other favourites but realise that you don't have to stay loyal to only one fragrance but can enjoy others depending on how you feel. I also love Allure however Coco will remain my true favourite. I tried L'eau today and found it so fresh and pure but with a gentle warmth too. It reminded me of sweet effervescent sherbet in some notes. I will absolutely add this to my collection. Helen.
Dear Helen, thank you so much :) Yes, we discover that we can travel to different places (try different perfumes) and then return back home to the safe warm fireplaces we know (N°5) whenever we feel like it and that is the magic of perfume! It awakens and amplifies the senses :) xoxo
I loved this review Dacob. I was resistant to L'eau ever since it was released, until I decided to think of it as not "another version of No. 5" but as a perfume of its own. I just tried it for the first time and despite my aversion to love it, I am in love! At first it reminded me of a better, more elegantly crafted, elegant and smooth Hypnotic Poison (in the dry-down, but not the opening). But I've just realized something about the dry-down of L'eau! I recognize something in the dry-down which I smell in the dry-down of my bottle of Chanel No. 5 Eau de Cologne from the 1950s. If you have access to a 1950s bottle please tell me if you notice this! Once again, my favorite perfume reviewer, thank you so much for the way you interpret these scent landscapes and share them with us!
Thank you so much Diamond Diva 🙏🏻🥰💖 The cologne dry-down is very civet heavy and we do not have civet in the current L’EAU version but its dry-down definitely has some fifties flair. It makes it feel airy but hefty at the same time. Quite elegant 😊😊😊
Thank you for this review; you just solidified my excitement to get this one!!! I'm so HAPPY you stamped your "Dacob Approved" stamp on it! *Smart move purchasing two bottles..
Thank you dear Eileen :) Ys, I approve it ;) haha... even though it is not groundbreaking or anything but still, its a nice fresh and clean addition to the N°5 family :) xoxo
'Hey bitch i'm rose and you better smell me' 😁😁 I love it!! Excellent review! Yes, it has Chanel in it, perfect description. I got my bottle the other day and I love it! I feel exactly the same about Coco Noir, some days I totally find it cheap smelling and other days it is gorgeous and chic!
I have not purchased Boy yet,i am leaning towards this more,i love Cristalle Verte,and the freshness of this . I just purchased my back stock of Gardenia and Beige ,(thank you for leaving me some Beige,i know how much you love it)as well as a few others...I will hope they make some nice sets for Christmas...I did like how long this lasted on me. Beautifully reviewed,so wish you could come to sniffapallooza with me in NYC,it sounds exciting,never went,lol I doused the whole sample on me after I took a shower,lasted all night take care xo MJ
Thank you so much dear MJ :) Haha! Yes, I left some Beige just for you dear cuz I LOOOOOOVE it so much :) haha! Actually I do not mind Beige at all but I never crave it and as of now it is the only Les Exclusifs I do not own (other than 4ml and 2ml samples)... I will get it eventually though but I still have some time since it will be available in EDT till March of next year (hopefully)..
Hi brother!!!!! I really should try this for sure! Thank you for a lovely in depth and descriptive review!!!!!!!!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I shall keep you posted as to what I think!
L'eau is very light, I agree its very easy! Its a simple no 5! The pure parfum is still my favorite no. 5 ..I cant get enough of it, I wish it wasn't so expensive so I didnt have to feel crazy savoring every drop I have of it but my god its gorgeous!!!! L'eau is a nice little taste of no.5....I bought the 1.7 oz and Im excited to use it!!! I think it will be AMAZING for this spring/summer! I wonder if this is the last of the new 'versions' of no 5 they have been making. I thought it was supposed to end with "eau premiere" and I was super surprised they made another version of it again! Hmmm .....hehe
Me too! I prefer the pure parfum! Pure magic!!! They aproximately make a new flanker of N°5 every 8 to 10 years as to try to gain new generations of clients. So you can expect a new N°5 yet again in another 8 years or so ;) xoxo
I love your perfume reviews! While watching this wonderful meditation on l"eau I had an idea - would it be interesting for you to dig into your perfume archives and pull out some of the older bottles you haven't worn so much recently and reassess, see how your feelings with them have changed and also do this in parallel with your memories of when you wore them before?
Before the reformulation every single Chanel fragrance gave me a splitting headache. I'm still not a fan of the original #5, but I'm obsessed with L' EAU!!
Dacob, have you had the chance of comparing L’Eau N5 on the video with one now, 7 years later? Any change? Although after 7 years, yours will have macerated a little as well. But I must confess I’d love to know if you perceive differences. Once again, thank you for another minute review. ❤
Gosh I love this review beyond words. I agree with listening and not screening. No forcing, this is a great perfume to wear when u need to sit back and be a good friend who listens and not tells one what to do. I do live the blond hair!!!!
About the..'silence'.. ! ....what an incredible depth of your review.... You are so sensitive!! By the way on my skin l'eau lasts 12 hours and becomes stronger step by step till the end. Really interesting. I completely fell in love and Must buy it!!!
I'm trying a sample of this one today. And I completely agree with your review. I particularly like the description of the rose because I know Chanel 5 really well myself and yes the Rose is passive and it's so gorgeous. Like you said in your review the Rose is soft and so addictive but also I agree with you the ylang-ylang is just so addictive. This is what takes the perfume and this new version to the next level it's gorgeous it's woodsy and a bit dry and a perfect segue into the dry down. I do think that some of the l'exclusifs magic is in this because it does remind me a lot of 1932. Even though 1932 one is mainly just Jasmine for me. I do feel that it's a cousin to 5 and in that way similar to L'eau
Dear Ruby! Such a wonderful comment! I agree with you completely! I just do not understand the last part of your comment... Did you mean N°5 premiere or L'EAU in your last sentence? It is like 1932 in a way... for sure! But that passive rose CHANEL so masterfully does.... ugh!! Nobody matches that rose! I think the perfumeurs at CHANEL understood what nobody else understood: that is that it is close to impossible to recreate a rose scent one to one like in nature. Rose fragrances always tend to smell cheap or artificial in a way... (example Louis Vuittons exclusive Rose des Vents... geepers creepers... plastic caramel fudge oily rose)... CHANEL knows that a mini hint of rose goes n extremly long way ;) thats what makes that "passive" rose a queen ;) xoxo
Super Dacob absolutely that rose is masterful. and to me the jasmine is right alongside it stomping on top of it or letting it shine when it feels like it! lol I meant 1932 seems like the cousin to both 5 and the L'eau. The L'eau has hints of an l'exclusif in it for sure. The L'eau sparkles to me specifically in the beginning, like 1932. and 1932 plays with jasmine and the drydown beautifully which give me hints of 5.
Ah, now I get it! So true! The sparkle in L'EAU's opening is so Les Exclusifs! Its delicious! One of CHANEL's best aldehyde openings from their regular line since a long time! I just love it so much and I used up more than half my 100ml bottle already in less than a month and a half ;) xoxo
Thank you for your review. You discribed Chanel #5 L'eau. so nicely. I have Eau Premiere and I'm having a hard time understanding it (it was a gift). I really liked your comments and thought that maybe this version of #5 could be for me. Can't wait to smell it! :)
Dear Dacob, thankyou for this gorgeous review. Because of you, I am waiting for my bottle which I have ordered and also a small bottle of the no 5 parfum. I am thinking to layer them , what are your thoughts ? Too much ?
Thank you so much dear Brie! Could be interesting to layer them... but L'EAU is a bit too citrussy for the pure parfum... could turn sour or acidic if not dosed right... but you will see, once th epure parfum comes, it is so rich and textured... you will love it on its own! So deep and beautiful! The drydown is heaven! :) xoxo
I'm curious as to how you got a bottle! Here in the states we aren't even allowed to sell in until the 29th of this month. I've used it for about a week now, I wasn't too keen on it at first. I just thought it was okay. But the more I wore it the more I liked it. I don't like to mist it on even though it's nice to spray with the new aspirator. I actually prefer to spray or very close to the skin until it almost drips.
Hi David, this fragrance had its official release on September 1st in most parts of the world so thats how I got it... It did grow on me as well.. its by far not my favourite N°5 flanker but its a nice addition to the family and I will happily use it from time to time. I too prefer to spray it super close to the skin. I get much better dry down results with it that way.
Dacob your reviews are so addictive for those that adore and appreciate the true beauty of these perfumes,this is another that l must try,l will go on that hunt and let your know if l find it,Xoxoxo.
You are so happy! And I am thrilled with your infectious excitement about L'eau. Your review gives me hope that I will like and maybe even love it. Should have been Boy? I love that you went there. I can't wait to get my nose on it. But today.... I'm a Bond Boy .... You'll see lol. Yes... If we know how we Can listen with our noses. Coco coco coco
Ament to that dear Lanier! We can listen with our noses :) Also... L'EAU is a young N°5 baby and needs some attention... it is not by any means groundbreaking but it has an edge in there somewhere and at least on my skin lasts a fairly long time... longer than BOY... besides... it would have been perfect and "BOY N°5" ;) xoxo
Dacob thanks for your amazing reviews. I love L'Eau too. This has a low frequency hum of the most refined musk in the drydown - beautiful. I love Eau Premiere -- I get the rosy jasmin powdery drydown from that one. And civet -- I always get that from No5 EDT. Love your reviews.
Hi Dacob, I got the chance to spritz N5 L'eau on me the other day and liked it. Just to give you a little more history I own other Chanel fragrances as well like Les Eaux De Chanel Paris Deauville and Venise, Bleu De Chanel and Chance eau fraiche all in a 100 ml (3.4 fl oz. +) bottles. Now since I really want to own a No 5 I was just wondering which is a safer buy? A 50 ml or a 100ml? Based on its price and worth. Considering I'm not too sure if I'm going to love it in the long run? And since it's on the pricier side, I just dont want to spend a lot of money and buy the 100 ml and not use it as often as I would like to or buy the 50ml, love it and use it up in an instant. Any tip would help out a lot. Thanks!
You could purchase the 35ml to be safe. Its a decent amount of perfume to use up and see if it is something you would like to have for th elong run ;) xoxo
Best perfume review i have ever seen! Congratulations! You made a really good job by describing this treasure! I have exactly the same feelings and get the same vibes when i am smelling it! Good vibes..happy feelings..euphoria and elegance! A parfume that has quality doesn't have to scream to grab attention! This one has character and doesnt need to prove anything to anyone!👈👍✌🙌🧡🖤
Do you find its gets quite sweet in the dry down? To my nose it smells the same as the n.5 EDT but without that sharp bite, I quite liked that, but found it very sweet in the dry down, bit sugary if i exaggerate it a little. It put me off however now that im thinking about it... Im undecided. What sold me was the 'it never goes cheap on you' and in my mind sweetness can be a bit cheap-y , perhaps is the omnipresence of Vanilla in perfumes that gives me that impression?
I am testing this fragrance from a sample for the first time today, so I had to revisit your review. L'eau is absolutely lovely! I agree that the citrus comes back around during the dry down. My skin chemistry just does not mesh with any other formulation, the Chanel no 5 edt being the worst of the bunch. I believe I have finally found my version that works for me. Heavenly!!!
I will pick this one up next month when I will have 2 Sephora gift cards, and the 100 ml will cost next to nothing that way. My version of not paying full price for luxury goods. Lol. Although, perfume to me is a necessity and not a luxury. I also don't trust picking this one up on the secondary market. Xoxo
Hey! Ok, I just sprayed N5 EDP and fallowed with N5 L’eau right after ( it had to be done lol) ... the concoction just vanished on me . It literally smells as if I sprayed some generic fragrance hours ago and Im now left with a very basic , barely there,dry down . So sad ... yet interesting! They cancel each other out . The mysteries of Chanel lol. Have you had any experience with this combo? Love x
This was a awesome review! I have a question for anyone in the chat. I love love love the #5 L’eau. I want to know will I like the #5 Eau da Parfum? My hubby is going to get me this for my anniversary. Thank you anyone in advance for a answer.
I love this guy! I usually get annoyed listening to reviews but Dacob entertains me! I'm considering this fragrance soon. I need to give Serge a break!
Thank you so much dear Firefly!!! So sweet of you! Serge is great in fall and winter, don't give him a brake but you could sprinklle a little CHANEL in between there from time to time to pep up the mood ;) xoxo
I'll alays return to Serge. I haven't L'Eau, yet but it sounds wonderful. The only Chanel scents that I've ever been able to wear have been from the Chance line. My chemistry just rejects anything warm, complex or sophisticated. My quest continues!
New subscriber here! I just discovered your channel and love your reviews. Where are you from (I'm trying to place your accent)? Thank you again for putting so much thought into your videos.
I finally got my bottle yesterday , just a 50 ml from Sephora. Strange thing is the batch code. 0301...and yours is 06 something. Someone needs to crack the new Chanel batch codes. So confusing! Xoxo!!!
The batch codes are already no mystery :) they go from 0000 to 9999 (some numbers might get skipped) and they rotate every 8 to 10 years or so. When L'EAU was first introduced, CHANEL produced a massive amount of fragrance for the entire world so Sephora might still have an early batch in their stock. :) xoxo
i dont wanna lie, i dont like when they reformulate iconic perfumes have been created or approved by chanel or dior or jean louis scherrer them self or even cartier, i prefer they invent a new perfume and give him a totally new name, also guerlain, you cant change shalimar and still call it shalimar, for me a no go
Oo nice I need to go give it a sniff! I just got gardenia (I know, not your favorite, but it's been on my list so long!) and I do love the scent- I find it doesn't last long on me at all.. But I really have that problem with most fragrances- I don't smell them anymore very quickly. Do you think it's just me, my body chemistry?! I would love to smell like my gorgeous perfumes all day long (like I notice some people do) but they never ever last on me! Am I doing something wrong, I wonder? Not putting enough? Or wrong place ? I dunno.. Anyway, enough tangent lol I will add This to my list to try.. Also wondering, what do you think of the byredos? Thanks for the great review :) xoxo 😍😍💋❤️
Thank you :) Gardenia might not be my favourite but I love it a lot. It doesn't like me ;) haha... but I love it. When our bodies get used to a fragrance we don't smell it any more so much on ourselves but the others around us still smell it on us. Its the downside of having just one fragrance and using it all the time. One needs to rotate all the time if one wants to smell the fragrance longer on ones skin.. I try to rotate every day or every second to third day... but then again I refresh during the day and I might use up to four different fragrances throughout the day... I love to switch it up and mix the moods all the time. That way I smell out the scents better and I keep my body guessing ;) xoxo
Yes that makes sense ! Thanks for the tips I will follow them and report back ;) I actually recently went through my fragrances and purged a bunch that just were cutting it anymore, I lovingly passed them on to my momma (I know she loves them) and I'm trying to be more selective with my new collection.. The exclusivs line is what I have in mind- I will tell you my current Chanel fragrances (coco mademoiselle, 1932, gardenia, and Number 5 - my all time favorite and go-to scent) what do you recommend next ?! :) xoxo
I whole heartedly recommend N°18... it is a treasure! At the moment my most favourite Les Exclusifs fragrance ! Just magical! So underrated.. Longevity is for hours and the transformation from opening to closing just wonderful... I long it every time I am out and about and do not have it on... crazy... but true... xoxo
I can't believe you wear perfume and don't know, haven't even comprehended, that ALL OF US GET USED TO SCENTS that we constantly smell, like our own body odors or the odors of soaps, shampoos, and fragrances one might use often. Which, sadly, means you're likely one of those people who are using WAY WAY WAY too much so you can continuously smell it yourself, and the people around you are all disgusted and annoyed. I hope not, but you really should realize you're not going to be able to smell the fragrance you're wearing all day long, and applying a small amount once per day is PLENTY. Otherwise you're one of those people stinking up a whole room because you've dumped half the bottle on yourself 6 times a day expecting to smell it yourself the whole time... and instead, people are covering their noses and running, fearing your horrendously strong and annoying scent. Sorry to be so blunt, but most of the people around you are going to just deal with it, not say anything, and distance themselves so they don't literally taste your smelly chemical concoction.
zombievac If you are sorry to be so blunt then just don't be it and avoid writing passive agressive comments! I do not like your tone so you are kindly asked to tone it down and moderate it! My subscriber: "Once Upon a CC Dream" does not deserve to be treated the way you treated them. The choice of some of your words in your comment could potentially hurt more than a couple sprays of perfume too many on a person out and about in the city or at work. I hope you can realize that. Have a good day.
So I wanna buy my mom a bottle of n°5 for her birthday because she says that she likes number 5 and owned it once but that was before they released the l'eau (which is the newer Version right (?)) so now I'm wondering if I should get her the new version, how much did it change? Do you think she will still like the new one?
Hi There I have no clue how your mom likes her perfumes to smell. Selecting fragrances is a very delicate process and the only way to be sure a person will like them is if the person actually tries them on. Skin chemistry plays a vital role here. In general, I would go with the concentration that she loved in the first place... If she loved the eau de toilette then I would buy that one again... or if she loved the eau de parfum then I would get her that... this way you are definitey on the safe side. The new version of N°5 is different enough to its predecessors to warrant a possible dislike as well so it is tricky given that this scent is alos not the cheapest... xoxo
We just ordered this for my Mother in Law and received it today. we will give it to her on her birthday april 1. she will be 94 i believe. i also think this will be her first Chanel. Yay. I hope she lets me spray myself a tiny bit too. lol.
God, I 100% follow you with the Les Exclusifs-type dry down! It's absolutely sublime. Also: have you ever smelt Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels? It's this (sadly discontinued) very popular and cheap fragrance that evokes such beautiful things it could almost be a Chanel. The smell itself isn't something Chanel would do but the whole scenery surrounding this scent definitely is! PS: REALLY curious about what you think of the brand new boutique exclusive perfume line Louis Vuitton does now!
Thank you so much :) I haven't smelled midnight in Paris but it sounds super nice from your description :) I also have not yet had the time to try out the LV fragrances... but I will try them out as soon as I find the right time because there are so many of them, it takes a lot of time to go through them properly ;) xoxo
Your reviews are amazing! I wish I liked L'eau , but it smells dated on my skin which is strange because I used to wear N°5 the original edp , some reason it doesn't work anymore . I will stick to the chance flankers . Also I hate fragrances that don't last .
I bought L’eau today after trying it out on my skin the whole day and I was impressed as you with the change it did on my skin. The change from very citrusy fresh smell to a very cashmere like sent which was so more me and more sophisticated. So great review!!! Keep up your great vids
Thank you v47! Glad you liked my video and wishing you a lot of fun times with N°5 L'EAU :) xoxo
This is my all time fav fragrance. I literally rewatch this video like 4 times just because i love the way you describe it. Ugh love it and love ur reviews dacob. U r refreshing to watch on this platform
Thank you so much Strawberry Shortcake!
I’m sure you’re going to laugh at me. I was testing this in the Deparment store and watching your review 😂 The SA at some point asked me what am I watching...my answer: shhhhhh... Super Dacob should tell me any moment now to buy it or not😬
Great review❤️
OMG!!!! Reading your words MADE MY DAY!!!! hahah! Sooo sweet! Thank you for that Monika! And I hope whatever choice you made in the end, you were happy when you left the shop!
I just came across your video while searching for Chanel 5 L'eau, and not only did I find great advice but also a very inspirational person. You are so sweet, and had me mesmerized to the very end. Thanks for all the wonderful words, especially from such a young man.
Thank you so much Camelot! Very kind of you :)
I love this perfume so much. It’s so warm and comforting and so light and clean I feel like I could wear this anywhere and anytime and whenever I smell it I get such a happy feeling
I just tried Chanel N5 l'eau and I keep smelling my wrist. This fragrance is so elegant, soft (but projects well) and innocent that I makes we want to buy it right away. My birthday is next month and I'll ask for this precious fragrance. Love your review! I'll subscribe ❤️
Thank you Jeri! :) Welcome to the fashion bunker family :) Yes, L'EAU is super elegant and innocent! Very well put! Wish you a lot of fun for your upcoming birthday :) xoxo
Smelled this yesterday and absolutely was drawn immediately. Love this version for spring. And I really love the No 5 EDT, so I had no expectations of this one coming close, but I will pick this up for sure. Love you, Dacob!
Glad you like L'EAU Yvonne! I love it too!
I love this in a rainy day. I know this is probably not the way Chanel intended for us to experience. For me I feel it brings out meditative and innate mindset + emotions. I also like that it’s so easy going too but it maintains a character and sophistication. Well done Chanel and to you for all these addicting videos ✨
Thank you 🙏🏻💖
So I wonder if I’m the only one who sprays my fragrance with you during your review..kind of like a wine tasting
Thats so sweet! SOme other people do it too :) xoxo
Hi Super Dacob, I'm from Slovakia and I love your reviews for Chanel perfumes. I used to write poems. Your reviews have the quality of poetical language. Pleasure to listen to you. Thank you.
Thank you so much Stanislava :) xoxo
This has been my perfume since its release, and i agree with the atomizer! Hehe And I also agree that it doesn’t go cheap on you. So elegant.. and yes, it stays on me for about 8 hours. I love how you describe it. So accurate ❤
Will buy this after the lockdown. Thanks for the review!
“It doesn’t go cheap on you. Ever!” I’m sold!
Now I can say: the review I was waiting for! 😂thanks for all you do 😘
Haha! Yep :) The review you have been waiting for is heeler :) haha! I hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful weekend dear! xoxo
Thanks to you I’ve just purchased it!!!! I hope I love it and along with that I purchased 4 more. My first ever Chanel purchases. Perfume wise💓💓 you’re my fave person to watch and the way you describe everything is so pleasing and I just love it 🥰
Thank you for the compliment and I am wishing you a lot fun times with your new CHANEL :)
I LOVE your shirt on you.
No 5 L'Eau and the new Les Exclusifs Beige are on the top of my buy list... I also have and love Chance Eau Vive.. Olivier Polge is my hero atm..
Thank you for such a thorough review :)
Thank you dear :) I am happy you found your hero ;) Jacques still remains my top hero though, right after Ernest Beaux ;) xoxo
You're reviews are fairytales.....so Nice to hear. I didn't want to sample it until I heared you're Little story
can't wait
Thank you dear :) Glad you liked my video ) xoxo
Dear Dacob, I've just my hands on the twist and spray packaging of it. What a gem! Totally agree it could have been among the les exclusifs line. 🎉 Warm hugs, as always 🤗🥰
Thank you Anna 🙏🏻🥰💖 Warm hugs 🥰
The new no.5 always reminds me the soap smell I used when I was very little. I was into chance when I was in The university. But Now I am more coco and no.5 girl.
It is very clean! I love it for that reason as well :) xoxo
Your reviews are FABULOUS! I love the energy and light you exude!
Thank you so much Susana :) xoxo
Totally agree! When I smelled this the first time I loved it! Better than I dare say Chanel N5 parfumerie original. When I think of the original I like it but it was older powder scent that you easily recognize but sophisticated and feminine. It definitely help me appreciate why Chanel n 5 original was so good for so many years. I think femininity has change there bit in L’eau. Femininity can be all the strengths of the original but much more underground. A little metallic and messy. That’s the L’eau for me. It grows more beautiful and because you find it’s far more complex in subtlety.
Great review, dear. Now I definitely need to put my hands on that N° 5 L'Eau. Never really paid attention to the flankers, since I really live for the original, but it's about time now hehe. And that bottle really is so cute!
Thank you dear :) Yes, give it a try... its not groundbreaking in any way but its a fun fresh addition to the N°5 family :) xoxo
Welcome hehe very well then! 😙
You recorded this video exactly 3 years ago, and I am loving you today... and loving this amazing version of my timeless Chanel N° 5. Kisses from Chile!!
Awww :) Thank you Ana! Little video birthday!!! YAY!!!!
@@SuperDacob 🍰🎂💖💖😘
I am glad I found you on youtube. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, experience and love to perfumes with us.
Thank you so mch dear Ksenialz :) Welcome to the fashion bunker family! xoxo
This was a really informed review and why i love your channel! I am still conflicted and trying to find the No. 5 in l'eau... Your comment for l'eau as Les exclusifs is spot on.
Most reviews are favorable, so I want to give it time really let this develop.
Thank you Evo :) Glad you like my review. xoxo
so glad you like L'Eau, yay! love your reviews and stories and in depthness you go into. its like going on a journey when i watch your reviews. hehe im still waiting for bottle of L'Eau to arrive, cant wait! thank goodness for samples to tie me over. hehe lots of love to you Dacob. Enjoy your new L'Eau!! xoxo
Thank you so much dear :) Fingers crossed your L'EAU arrives asap :)
Eau I'm trying this one tonight, and I have to say I'm loving it. I agree with you SuperDacob that the dry-down is really interesting... It reminds me of Bois des Iles, in character. I don't know why, but it does. I'm so happy that I tried this.
Dear Lisa! You are so right! It does have something of Bois Des Iles in the drydown... some soft sandalwood-y touch to it... very well observed! :) xoxo
Just found you and I love you already, Chanel lover! This is a great review! I viewed it after seeing you buy the red bottle of this and classic No.5! Now I can’t wait to have my lunch break to run to the boutique and buy it! Hope to find the red one, too!
Thank you Melissa! Good luck hunting the red ;) xoxo
Super Dacob Thank you so much, greetings from Mexico City!
Super Dacob
Got it, got it, got it! I can’t be happier!!!
XOXOXO
OMG! I thought the same thing ....it smells like a cashmere blanket!!❤️
:)
I adore my No.5 Parfum but after watching this video, I think I need this perfume in my life :)
L'EAU is fun and vibrant, especially in summer months but it is great I colder months too. It does not come close to the pure perfume but it is a good extra nuance to the tradition of N°5 :) xoxo
Got it for Valentine's Day because of your review. I'm in love ❤️
I am glad you love L'EAU. Its a good one :)
Fabulous Review!! I am a Chanel lover, my favorite House, bar none. But I didn't have this one so I just treated myself for this year's birthday. It should be here in a couple of days ... truly looking forward to it, thanks to your review. I a l m o s t chose Nº5 Eau Premiere. Think I'll be happy with this one as the Les Exclusifs are my favorite scents ever done. Nice to hear L'eau has that feel. :)
I got way excited when I saw the notification and it was the review. :D I adore the original Premier, and think I may now have to add L'Eau to the stash. Thanks for the review.
Thank you so much rarer :) I am glad you liked my review and that you will try L'EAU :) xoxo
This was the review I was waiting for. I tried this at Heathrow T5 on its launch day but did not buy as the Chanel boutique had the Les Exclusifs ETD's available in the 75ml and I felt I wanted to purchase two of those whilst they were still available. I hoping this will be available in duty free on my way back, finances willing. Thank you for your advice on how to spray this to obtain the best dry down. Your Chanel reviews are the best, they reveal your passion for the brand and I'm so pleased you are liking L'eau, I know you were sceptical. Nice that Chanel can still sneak up and suprise !!!!!
Thank you so much Paul! Yes, the Les Exclusifs EDT have priority for now.. at least until October, when they get officially discontinued... plus if you got Les Exclusifs at the airport you probabyl got them for tax free.. which would be even better ;) haha I was sceptical about L'EAU but I am pleasantly surprised. Its not a revolutionary fragrance by all means but its fun and fresh so I welcome it :) xoxo
Yes! I have been waiting for you to review this! My birthday is on the 15th and I am turning 21 and I am thinking of getting this for myself. I hope it is not too juvenile for me. Excellent review as always. :)
Oh it will be a super fun birthday! I am sure :) This one will not be juvenile at all. It is elegant and fresh so all is good but I would still try it on first. Do not blind buy it. xoxo
Hello Dacob. Your descriptions are like poetry. I could listen to you all day. I adore Number 5 and like many people it was my first Chanel fragrance. Over the years I have added other favourites but realise that you don't have to stay loyal to only one fragrance but can enjoy others depending on how you feel. I also love Allure however Coco will remain my true favourite. I tried L'eau today and found it so fresh and pure but with a gentle warmth too. It reminded me of sweet effervescent sherbet in some notes. I will absolutely add this to my collection. Helen.
Dear Helen, thank you so much :) Yes, we discover that we can travel to different places (try different perfumes) and then return back home to the safe warm fireplaces we know (N°5) whenever we feel like it and that is the magic of perfume! It awakens and amplifies the senses :) xoxo
I loved this review so much I just picked up a bottle. As always, an entertaining and expertly presented analysis, Dacob. ❤️
Thank you so much Oli.
Thank you Dacob, you are Superb! I love fragrances since I am a child.
Thank you dear! Glad you liked my video :) xoxo
I loved this review Dacob. I was resistant to L'eau ever since it was released, until I decided to think of it as not "another version of No. 5" but as a perfume of its own. I just tried it for the first time and despite my aversion to love it, I am in love! At first it reminded me of a better, more elegantly crafted, elegant and smooth Hypnotic Poison (in the dry-down, but not the opening). But I've just realized something about the dry-down of L'eau! I recognize something in the dry-down which I smell in the dry-down of my bottle of Chanel No. 5 Eau de Cologne from the 1950s. If you have access to a 1950s bottle please tell me if you notice this! Once again, my favorite perfume reviewer, thank you so much for the way you interpret these scent landscapes and share them with us!
Thank you so much Diamond Diva 🙏🏻🥰💖 The cologne dry-down is very civet heavy and we do not have civet in the current L’EAU version but its dry-down definitely has some fifties flair. It makes it feel airy but hefty at the same time. Quite elegant 😊😊😊
I've been contemplating this fragrance, and you just sold it when you said it won't go cheap on you, periodt!!!
Thank you for this review; you just solidified my excitement to get this one!!! I'm so HAPPY you stamped your "Dacob Approved" stamp on it!
*Smart move purchasing two bottles..
Thank you dear Eileen :) Ys, I approve it ;) haha... even though it is not groundbreaking or anything but still, its a nice fresh and clean addition to the N°5 family :) xoxo
'Hey bitch i'm rose and you better smell me' 😁😁 I love it!! Excellent review! Yes, it has Chanel in it, perfect description. I got my bottle the other day and I love it! I feel exactly the same about Coco Noir, some days I totally find it cheap smelling and other days it is gorgeous and chic!
Thank you Ami dear :) Yes, Coco Noir is super chamaleontic and moody that way but I kinda love it even more because its that way :) xoxo
You are a master Chanel reviewer. Love it. Thank you.
I have not purchased Boy yet,i am leaning towards this more,i love Cristalle Verte,and the freshness of this .
I just purchased my back stock of Gardenia and Beige ,(thank you for leaving me some Beige,i know how much you love it)as well as a few others...I will hope they make some nice sets for Christmas...I did like how long this lasted on me.
Beautifully reviewed,so wish you could come to sniffapallooza with me in NYC,it sounds exciting,never went,lol I doused the whole sample on me after I took a shower,lasted all night
take care
xo
MJ
Thank you so much dear MJ :) Haha! Yes, I left some Beige just for you dear cuz I LOOOOOOVE it so much :) haha! Actually I do not mind Beige at all but I never crave it and as of now it is the only Les Exclusifs I do not own (other than 4ml and 2ml samples)... I will get it eventually though but I still have some time since it will be available in EDT till March of next year (hopefully)..
oh and sniffapallooza sounds like super fun :) It would be great to go together one day :) xoxo
Hi brother!!!!! I really should try this for sure! Thank you for a lovely in depth and descriptive review!!!!!!!!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I shall keep you posted as to what I think!
Yesssss! Keep me posted sis! :)
I love your Reviews!😍❤️! And the new Version of the No'5!
Thank you so much dear Osi )
woah, dacob. you are amazing. thank you for your reviews, i'm purchasing this very soon.
Thank you ROdrigo :) Hope you enjoy your L'EAU :) xoxo
You speak of the innocence of the Pleasure Principle that Chanel fragrances evoke. Love it. Hugs
Yep, I do :) Thank you dear! Hugs! xoxo
Lovely review! Will go and try it on, as soon as it hit stores in Denmark.
Thank you Simon :) Please let us know what you think of it once you've tried it :) xoxo
L'eau is very light, I agree its very easy! Its a simple no 5! The pure parfum is still my favorite no. 5 ..I cant get enough of it, I wish it wasn't so expensive so I didnt have to feel crazy savoring every drop I have of it but my god its gorgeous!!!! L'eau is a nice little taste of no.5....I bought the 1.7 oz and Im excited to use it!!! I think it will be AMAZING for this spring/summer! I wonder if this is the last of the new 'versions' of no 5 they have been making. I thought it was supposed to end with "eau premiere" and I was super surprised they made another version of it again! Hmmm .....hehe
Me too! I prefer the pure parfum! Pure magic!!! They aproximately make a new flanker of N°5 every 8 to 10 years as to try to gain new generations of clients. So you can expect a new N°5 yet again in another 8 years or so ;) xoxo
I love your perfume reviews! While watching this wonderful meditation on l"eau I had an idea - would it be interesting for you to dig into your perfume archives and pull out some of the older bottles you haven't worn so much recently and reassess, see how your feelings with them have changed and also do this in parallel with your memories of when you wore them before?
Hmm... interesting idea but I need to see when and if I can get to it with all the line-up ideas I have for videos these days ;) xoxo
Love watching your channel so look forward to experiencing your new ideas!
Before the reformulation every single Chanel fragrance gave me a splitting headache.
I'm still not a fan of the original #5, but I'm obsessed with L' EAU!!
Dacob, have you had the chance of comparing L’Eau N5 on the video with one now, 7 years later? Any change? Although after 7 years, yours will have macerated a little as well. But I must confess I’d love to know if you perceive differences. Once again, thank you for another minute review. ❤
Gosh I love this review beyond words. I agree with listening and not screening. No forcing, this is a great perfume to wear when u need to sit back and be a good friend who listens and not tells one what to do. I do live the blond hair!!!!
Thank you Danielle :) xoxo
Love this video! I'm planning on buying it very soon :) Thanks for the review
Thank you :) xoxo
I'm kind of obsessed with you, fab review!!
Thank you so much Lauren :)
You are so great I love hearing the way you describe fragrances your amazing
Thank you so much :) xoxo
About the..'silence'.. ! ....what an incredible depth of your review.... You are so sensitive!! By the way on my skin l'eau lasts 12 hours and becomes stronger step by step till the end. Really interesting. I completely fell in love and Must buy it!!!
Thank you so much! That sonds great! L'EAU reacts super well with your skin!!! xoxo
It’s a pleasure listening to you
Thank you Ksenija 🥹🙏🏻💖
I'm trying a sample of this one today. And I completely agree with your review. I particularly like the description of the rose because I know Chanel 5 really well myself and yes the Rose is passive and it's so gorgeous. Like you said in your review the Rose is soft and so addictive but also I agree with you the ylang-ylang is just so addictive. This is what takes the perfume and this new version to the next level it's gorgeous it's woodsy and a bit dry and a perfect segue into the dry down. I do think that some of the l'exclusifs magic is in this because it does remind me a lot of 1932. Even though 1932 one is mainly just Jasmine for me. I do feel that it's a cousin to 5 and in that way similar to L'eau
Dear Ruby! Such a wonderful comment! I agree with you completely! I just do not understand the last part of your comment... Did you mean N°5 premiere or L'EAU in your last sentence? It is like 1932 in a way... for sure! But that passive rose CHANEL so masterfully does.... ugh!! Nobody matches that rose! I think the perfumeurs at CHANEL understood what nobody else understood: that is that it is close to impossible to recreate a rose scent one to one like in nature. Rose fragrances always tend to smell cheap or artificial in a way... (example Louis Vuittons exclusive Rose des Vents... geepers creepers... plastic caramel fudge oily rose)... CHANEL knows that a mini hint of rose goes n extremly long way ;) thats what makes that "passive" rose a queen ;) xoxo
Super Dacob absolutely that rose is masterful. and to me the jasmine is right alongside it stomping on top of it or letting it shine when it feels like it! lol
I meant 1932 seems like the cousin to both 5 and the L'eau. The L'eau has hints of an l'exclusif in it for sure. The L'eau sparkles to me specifically in the beginning, like 1932. and 1932 plays with jasmine and the drydown beautifully which give me hints of 5.
Ah, now I get it! So true! The sparkle in L'EAU's opening is so Les Exclusifs! Its delicious! One of CHANEL's best aldehyde openings from their regular line since a long time! I just love it so much and I used up more than half my 100ml bottle already in less than a month and a half ;) xoxo
Thank you for your review. You discribed Chanel #5 L'eau. so nicely. I have Eau Premiere and I'm having a hard time understanding it (it was a gift). I really liked your comments and thought that maybe this version of #5 could be for me. Can't wait to smell it! :)
Thank you so much Heralda! I hope you will enjoy L'EAU :) xoxo
Dear Dacob, thankyou for this gorgeous review. Because of you, I am waiting for my bottle which I have ordered and also a small bottle of the no 5 parfum. I am thinking to layer them , what are your thoughts ? Too much ?
Thank you so much dear Brie! Could be interesting to layer them... but L'EAU is a bit too citrussy for the pure parfum... could turn sour or acidic if not dosed right... but you will see, once th epure parfum comes, it is so rich and textured... you will love it on its own! So deep and beautiful! The drydown is heaven! :) xoxo
So nice how you review. I sprayed 2days before listen to you I kept sniffiing my hand. Addicted but friendly and comforting to me.
I'm curious as to how you got a bottle! Here in the states we aren't even allowed to sell in until the 29th of this month. I've used it for about a week now, I wasn't too keen on it at first. I just thought it was okay. But the more I wore it the more I liked it. I don't like to mist it on even though it's nice to spray with the new aspirator. I actually prefer to spray or very close to the skin until it almost drips.
Hi David, this fragrance had its official release on September 1st in most parts of the world so thats how I got it... It did grow on me as well.. its by far not my favourite N°5 flanker but its a nice addition to the family and I will happily use it from time to time. I too prefer to spray it super close to the skin. I get much better dry down results with it that way.
This is the best fragrance review ever. Thanks!
Dacob you are fantastic!
🙏🏻💖
Dacob your reviews are so addictive for those that adore and appreciate the true beauty of these perfumes,this is another that l must try,l will go on that hunt and let your know if l find it,Xoxoxo.
Thank you Narelle dear :) Yes, please do let us know what you think of the new L'EAU :) xoxo
You are so happy! And I am thrilled with your infectious excitement about L'eau. Your review gives me hope that I will like and maybe even love it. Should have been Boy? I love that you went there. I can't wait to get my nose on it. But today.... I'm a Bond Boy .... You'll see lol.
Yes... If we know how we Can listen with our noses. Coco coco coco
Ament to that dear Lanier! We can listen with our noses :) Also... L'EAU is a young N°5 baby and needs some attention... it is not by any means groundbreaking but it has an edge in there somewhere and at least on my skin lasts a fairly long time... longer than BOY... besides... it would have been perfect and "BOY N°5" ;) xoxo
Dacob thanks for your amazing reviews. I love L'Eau too. This has a low frequency hum of the most refined musk in the drydown - beautiful. I love Eau Premiere -- I get the rosy jasmin powdery drydown from that one. And civet -- I always get that from No5 EDT. Love your reviews.
Thank you Bonnie :) xoxo
How have I missed this gem of a personality?
Hello Angela :)
great video....i actually am a huge fan of chanel no 5 and i tried this and really love it bought two bottles as well...thanks for the infor
Thank you so much dear Jane :) Congratulations on your new purchase :) Wish you a lot of fun with L'EAU :) xoxo
OMG I loved the smell I've bought yesterday..
Congratulations on your purchase dear :) xoxo
Hi Dacob, I got the chance to spritz N5 L'eau on me the other day and liked it. Just to give you a little more history I own other Chanel fragrances as well like Les Eaux De Chanel Paris Deauville and Venise, Bleu De Chanel and Chance eau fraiche all in a 100 ml (3.4 fl oz. +) bottles. Now since I really want to own a No 5 I was just wondering which is a safer buy? A 50 ml or a 100ml? Based on its price and worth. Considering I'm not too sure if I'm going to love it in the long run? And since it's on the pricier side, I just dont want to spend a lot of money and buy the 100 ml and not use it as often as I would like to or buy the 50ml, love it and use it up in an instant. Any tip would help out a lot. Thanks!
You could purchase the 35ml to be safe. Its a decent amount of perfume to use up and see if it is something you would like to have for th elong run ;) xoxo
This look is A+++, Dacob! xx
Thank you Not Raye :) xoxo
Ok I changed my mind now I want it! Lol
Haha :) Great! Give it a good try and see how you like it on your skin :) xoxo
I love your tshirt!!! 😍 thanks for the review
Thank you so much Wafa :) xoxo
Best perfume review i have ever seen!
Congratulations! You made a really good job by describing this treasure! I have exactly the same feelings and get the same vibes when i am smelling it! Good vibes..happy feelings..euphoria and elegance!
A parfume that has quality doesn't have to scream to grab attention! This one has character and doesnt need to prove anything to anyone!👈👍✌🙌🧡🖤
Thank you Rene. Glad you enjoyed my review :)
Which would you recommend for compliments and good in silage and projection ? N5 Leau vs N5 edp
Do you find its gets quite sweet in the dry down? To my nose it smells the same as the n.5 EDT but without that sharp bite, I quite liked that, but found it very sweet in the dry down, bit sugary if i exaggerate it a little. It put me off however now that im thinking about it... Im undecided. What sold me was the 'it never goes cheap on you' and in my mind sweetness can be a bit cheap-y , perhaps is the omnipresence of Vanilla in perfumes that gives me that impression?
It has a bit of sweetness like ti had sandalwood in it :)
Amazing review. Thank you.
Thank you Yana :) xoxo
I like its smell, but it doesnt last, unfortunately , great review Jacob
Thank you Luis! :) xoxo
Super Dacob ee
I like your review .. I can’t wait to buy it ❤️
Thank you Mellysa :) xoxo
I am testing this fragrance from a sample for the first time today, so I had to revisit your review. L'eau is absolutely lovely! I agree that the citrus comes back around during the dry down. My skin chemistry just does not mesh with any other formulation, the Chanel no 5 edt being the worst of the bunch. I believe I have finally found my version that works for me. Heavenly!!!
Yaay! Thats great news Debbie! Glad you like L'Eau! :) xoxo
I will pick this one up next month when I will have 2 Sephora gift cards, and the 100 ml will cost next to nothing that way. My version of not paying full price for luxury goods. Lol. Although, perfume to me is a necessity and not a luxury. I also don't trust picking this one up on the secondary market. Xoxo
Is great if you can get it with the gift cards! I love a great bargain :) xoxo
Hey! Ok, I just sprayed N5 EDP and fallowed with N5 L’eau right after ( it had to be done lol) ... the concoction just vanished on me . It literally smells as if I sprayed some generic fragrance hours ago and Im now left with a very basic , barely there,dry down . So sad ... yet interesting! They cancel each other out . The mysteries of Chanel lol. Have you had any experience with this combo? Love x
Thanks for the info Eliza .) I will need to try it out. I don't think I ever sprayed the EDP and the L'EAU at the same time ... xoxo
Interesting...I use Chanel Bleu parfum also, Guerlain L'Instant parfum but not sure If I would get away with wearing Chanel No5.
This was a awesome review! I have a question for anyone in the chat. I love love love the #5 L’eau. I want to know will I like the #5 Eau da Parfum? My hubby is going to get me this for my anniversary. Thank you anyone in advance for a answer.
I like L'eau on my sons but they are way too little (toddler and 7)....on me i have to layer with parfum no5 otherwise feels too empty.
I love this guy! I usually get annoyed listening to reviews but Dacob entertains me! I'm considering this fragrance soon. I need to give Serge a break!
Thank you so much dear Firefly!!! So sweet of you! Serge is great in fall and winter, don't give him a brake but you could sprinklle a little CHANEL in between there from time to time to pep up the mood ;) xoxo
I'll alays return to Serge. I haven't L'Eau, yet but it sounds wonderful. The only Chanel scents that I've ever been able to wear have been from the Chance line. My chemistry just rejects anything warm, complex or sophisticated. My quest continues!
such nice metaphores and personifications
Thank you :)
New subscriber here! I just discovered your channel and love your reviews. Where are you from (I'm trying to place your accent)? Thank you again for putting so much thought into your videos.
Thank you for subscribing dear Catherine :) Welcome to the fashion bunker family :) I am simply a human from planet Earth my dear ;) xoxo
I finally got my bottle yesterday , just a 50 ml from Sephora. Strange thing is the batch code. 0301...and yours is 06 something. Someone needs to crack the new Chanel batch codes. So confusing! Xoxo!!!
The batch codes are already no mystery :) they go from 0000 to 9999 (some numbers might get skipped) and they rotate every 8 to 10 years or so. When L'EAU was first introduced, CHANEL produced a massive amount of fragrance for the entire world so Sephora might still have an early batch in their stock. :) xoxo
Poetry when you talking about perfume...divine...merveilleux...hypnotisant....yes in French...😉
Thank you so much dear :) xoxo
i dont wanna lie, i dont like when they reformulate iconic perfumes have been created or approved by chanel or dior or jean louis scherrer them self or even cartier, i prefer they invent a new perfume and give him a totally new name, also guerlain, you cant change shalimar and still call it shalimar, for me a no go
I agree! Its difficult!
Oo nice I need to go give it a sniff! I just got gardenia (I know, not your favorite, but it's been on my list so long!) and I do love the scent- I find it doesn't last long on me at all.. But I really have that problem with most fragrances- I don't smell them anymore very quickly. Do you think it's just me, my body chemistry?! I would love to smell like my gorgeous perfumes all day long (like I notice some people do) but they never ever last on me! Am I doing something wrong, I wonder? Not putting enough? Or wrong place ? I dunno.. Anyway, enough tangent lol I will add
This to my list to try.. Also wondering, what do you think of the byredos? Thanks for the great review :) xoxo 😍😍💋❤️
Thank you :) Gardenia might not be my favourite but I love it a lot. It doesn't like me ;) haha... but I love it. When our bodies get used to a fragrance we don't smell it any more so much on ourselves but the others around us still smell it on us. Its the downside of having just one fragrance and using it all the time. One needs to rotate all the time if one wants to smell the fragrance longer on ones skin.. I try to rotate every day or every second to third day... but then again I refresh during the day and I might use up to four different fragrances throughout the day... I love to switch it up and mix the moods all the time. That way I smell out the scents better and I keep my body guessing ;) xoxo
Yes that makes sense ! Thanks for the tips I will follow them and report back ;) I actually recently went through my fragrances and purged a bunch that just were cutting it anymore, I lovingly passed them on to my momma (I know she loves them) and I'm trying to be more selective with my new collection.. The exclusivs line is what I have in mind- I will tell you my current Chanel fragrances (coco mademoiselle, 1932, gardenia, and Number 5 - my all time favorite and go-to scent) what do you recommend next ?! :) xoxo
I whole heartedly recommend N°18... it is a treasure! At the moment my most favourite Les Exclusifs fragrance ! Just magical! So underrated.. Longevity is for hours and the transformation from opening to closing just wonderful... I long it every time I am out and about and do not have it on... crazy... but true... xoxo
I can't believe you wear perfume and don't know, haven't even comprehended, that ALL OF US GET USED TO SCENTS that we constantly smell, like our own body odors or the odors of soaps, shampoos, and fragrances one might use often.
Which, sadly, means you're likely one of those people who are using WAY WAY WAY too much so you can continuously smell it yourself, and the people around you are all disgusted and annoyed. I hope not, but you really should realize you're not going to be able to smell the fragrance you're wearing all day long, and applying a small amount once per day is PLENTY. Otherwise you're one of those people stinking up a whole room because you've dumped half the bottle on yourself 6 times a day expecting to smell it yourself the whole time... and instead, people are covering their noses and running, fearing your horrendously strong and annoying scent.
Sorry to be so blunt, but most of the people around you are going to just deal with it, not say anything, and distance themselves so they don't literally taste your smelly chemical concoction.
zombievac
If you are sorry to be so blunt then just don't be it and avoid writing passive agressive comments! I do not like your tone so you are kindly asked to tone it down and moderate it! My subscriber: "Once Upon a CC Dream" does not deserve to be treated the way you treated them. The choice of some of your words in your comment could potentially hurt more than a couple sprays of perfume too many on a person out and about in the city or at work. I hope you can realize that. Have a good day.
So I wanna buy my mom a bottle of n°5 for her birthday because she says that she likes number 5 and owned it once but that was before they released the l'eau (which is the newer Version right (?)) so now I'm wondering if I should get her the new version, how much did it change? Do you think she will still like the new one?
Hi There I have no clue how your mom likes her perfumes to smell. Selecting fragrances is a very delicate process and the only way to be sure a person will like them is if the person actually tries them on. Skin chemistry plays a vital role here. In general, I would go with the concentration that she loved in the first place... If she loved the eau de toilette then I would buy that one again... or if she loved the eau de parfum then I would get her that... this way you are definitey on the safe side. The new version of N°5 is different enough to its predecessors to warrant a possible dislike as well so it is tricky given that this scent is alos not the cheapest... xoxo
We just ordered this for my Mother in Law and received it today. we will give it to her on her birthday april 1. she will be 94 i believe. i also think this will be her first Chanel. Yay. I hope she lets me spray myself a tiny bit too. lol.
God, I 100% follow you with the Les Exclusifs-type dry down! It's absolutely sublime.
Also: have you ever smelt Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels? It's this (sadly discontinued) very popular and cheap fragrance that evokes such beautiful things it could almost be a Chanel. The smell itself isn't something Chanel would do but the whole scenery surrounding this scent definitely is!
PS: REALLY curious about what you think of the brand new boutique exclusive perfume line Louis Vuitton does now!
Thank you so much :) I haven't smelled midnight in Paris but it sounds super nice from your description :) I also have not yet had the time to try out the LV fragrances... but I will try them out as soon as I find the right time because there are so many of them, it takes a lot of time to go through them properly ;) xoxo
I like this bottle as well. Will buy 100ml!
Yes, the bottle is super nice :)
Your reviews are amazing! I wish I liked L'eau , but it smells dated on my skin which is strange because I used to wear N°5 the original edp , some reason it doesn't work anymore . I will stick to the chance flankers . Also I hate fragrances that don't last .
CHANCE flankers are amazingggggg!!!
Oh totally! I find them long lasting for edt's . I just bought eau tendre oh excuse me eau pearl based on your review . lol
haha! True! EAU Pearl ;) I wonder when CHANEL will take my idea and launch their "CHANEL PEARL" fragrance? ;) xoxo
You better get royalties .... life supply of chanel perfume !
I would be thrilled and honored... but I am afraid its not the way they tick over there... but one can always dream right?! :) xoxo
Chanel No. 5 Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa(🌬puff of air from the chest)
Hhahahahahahahah :) Yes! Exactly! hahahaha xoxo
