Chanel No. 5

My friend Caroline and I went perfume shopping this week (as a sidenote, she wore her ponytail ever-so-slightly to one side, which was so chic), and we visited a fancy New York perfumery. But in the end, the scent we both liked best was Chanel No. 5. Some people say it smells like a grandma, but, to me, it feels feminine, floral and beautiful. Coco Chanel wanted "a woman’s fragrance that smells like woman," and I think she did just that.

Which perfume to you wear?

P.S. A bottle of Chanel No. 5 is sold worldwide every 30 seconds, says Wikipedia!

  2. For years my dad would buy my mum Chanel No. 19, and then one year he bought Chanel No. 5. I asked him why, and he said "As your mother's age goes up, I thought it'd be best if the number on her perfume went down". LOL!!! He's adorable :)

  6. The smell of Chanel No. 5 mixed with the scent of Oil of Olay lotion remind me of my mother.

    There is something utterly unique about Chanel No. 5, and I think women of all ages can wear it. A little dab will do ya, though! :)

  10. I wear Chanel Chance. And I have a really, really hard time with Chanel No. 5!! Everytime I smell it it smells weird to me. But I never smell it on anyone; it's always just in the bottle or in the air. I may have to retest...

  11. I wear Gucci Rush 2 :)

    ReplyDelete

  12. I love Chanel No. 5. It reminds me of Marilyn Monroe (she said it was the only thing she wore to bed) - it's iconic. Lately, however, I like Givenchy Very Irresistible.

    ReplyDelete

  13. I love Chanel No.5 in the bottle, but it smells awful on me! Right now I'm wearing Vera Wang Rock Princess, but I switch it up all the time! It's more fun to have a variety. The next perfume I'm dying to try is Miss Dior Cherie.

    ReplyDelete

  14. I have always been a Channel #5 girl. It is my signature scent-wearing it today. Sometimes in the summer I do like to switch it up with Nars Monoi Body Oil or Egyptian Goddess body oil. But I will come back mon cheri.

  15. i'm with Amor Amor form Chacharel...

    nice blog :)

    ReplyDelete

  16. SK, you just made my day! I had no idea Gucci Rush 2 was still being made. I wore it 5-6 years ago and thought it had been discontinued. I LOVE that scent!

    Now I alternate between Coco Chanel Mademoiselle and Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely.

    ReplyDelete

  17. I also love chanel no. 5, but only wear L'Occitane's Verbena.

    ReplyDelete

  18. I love anything with floral notes. And I am also a sucker for a pretty bottle.

    ReplyDelete

  19. Personally I love earthy, musky, vanilla scents for fall and winter, I go with Burberry Brit because it isn't over powering. During the summer I rarely wear perfume, but I wish I could find something with a honeysuckle scent.

    ReplyDelete

  20. Yikes. I'm in the 'smells like a grandma' category. I have tried to love it, I really have. I wear coco mademoiselle in the fall and winter and chanel change in the spring and summer.

    ReplyDelete

  21. I'm a Jo Malone kind of girl (my Dad started buying them for me for special occasions a few years ago and now I'm hooked!)

    I love most all of her scents because she has quite a range - Lime Basil is a very cool take on a citrus and I love it, but for something a little more girly I like pink grapefruit or orange blossom, lastly I use vetyver for a spicy, sexy scent. I'm sure the others are great, too!

    ReplyDelete

  22. Chanel No. 5 is also my grandma's sent of choice...the parcels she sends at Christmas even open with a heady waft of the stuff. These days I wear Lancome Oui. It smells fresh and cheerful without being too perfumish for me.

    ReplyDelete

  23. I am so sad to report that I have not found my bashert scent as of yet...I am open to suggestions in the meantime....

    ReplyDelete

  24. jo malone's orange blossom has been my fave for a few years, now.

    ReplyDelete

  25. I wear flower bomb in the winter, Vert by l'occitaine in the summer, and I've actually really taking a liking to banana republic's "slate" scent. It's for men, but it's such a captivating smell!

    ReplyDelete

  26. no. 5 is too much for me. but, my husband bought me chanel chance and i absolutely love it.

    ReplyDelete

  27. I usually wear L'Air de Rien by Miller Harris or En Passant from Frenderic Malle but I always have a bottle of Chanel No5 as backup. I was living in Florence on my 21st birthday but my mum sent me a bottle of Chanel No5. I'll always remember opening it on a sun drenched bridge - it was such a perfect 21st postal pressie. I still wear it when I need a bit of extra encouragement.

    ReplyDelete

  28. i was given chanel no.5 as a gift...sadly it doesn't work on me at all!..;(

    ReplyDelete

  29. its very ladylike!
    although i think its kind of strong for me....
    i wear Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker...some people say it smells kind of old lady as well but i just love it! its so subtle...

    ReplyDelete

  30. It may be corny but I wear Chanel Chance even though my name is Chanelle. It just has such a sweet a light smell that can be worn everyday or on fancy occasions. LOVE IT!

    ReplyDelete

  31. I like wearing perfume because it does make me feel more like a lady. I always loved when I was little that both of my grandmother's wore Beautiful by Estee Lauder. That scent always reminds me of hugging my grandmother!

    I wear Coco Mademoiselle and it makes me feel very fancy, but how can you not feel fancy with Chanel?

    ReplyDelete

  32. Just drooled over the Chanel website late late last night. I would loe to have a bottle of Chnel No. 5. I currently wear Sui Dreams by Anna Sui.

    ReplyDelete

  33. i love coco mademoiselle by chanel. patrick bought it for me for our wedding day. and now i only wear it on special occasions and he always says it reminds him of our wedding day! really sweet.

    ReplyDelete

  34. chanel no. 5... the definition of chic.

    i always wear marc jacobs.... it smells like a bouquet of gardenias.

    ReplyDelete

  35. This was such a brilliant post as it has garnered all this revealing information about scents :) I have never worn Chanel 5 - perhaps one has to have acquired a certain something before wearing it? I like Estee Lauder's Intuition - that works on me. And Chanel Chance. But here's a question. Do you think it is important to find or explore new scents for our changing years/ seasons/ experiences? (assuming one hasn't 'found' one's own scent). And what do people do with their old bottles of scent? Throw or keep?

    ReplyDelete

  36. I've been wanting to signature-scent shopping for a while! Every time we feature a new perfume in the mag, I think "Ooh! I want!"

    I tried out a new Sisley fragrance last winter that was so subtle and sweet, I just might stick with that one.

    ReplyDelete

  37. i really tried to like Chanel No. 5 because the thought of it seems so lovely, but in the end it was just too heavy for me.

    My absolute favorite is Very Irresistible Givenchy -- it's kind of light and florally; very pretty!

    ReplyDelete

  38. I always have a bottle of it on display because it is so beautiful, glamorous and iconic. BUT sadly I can't wear it, I just don't love it. I wear Cherry Blossom by Guerlain. I combine it with Laura Mercier's almond coconut lotion and it is divine bliss.

    ReplyDelete

  39. I like the smell of Chanel No.5 in the bottle, but it doesn't smell good ON me. I usually wear Tuscany by Estee Lauder. I've been wearing it since I was 18. I throw in some Realities (Liz Claiborne) to mix it up.

    ReplyDelete

  40. these are all so sweet! erica, i love that!

    ReplyDelete

  41. I've been wearing Prada, Milano for the summer and like Dolce & Gabbana, the One for winter.

    ReplyDelete

  42. You can never go wrong with Chanel No.5!! such a classy, gorgeous scent!

    i am in love with flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf.
    {its one thing i splurge on--but i only wear if for days when i need extra luck & confidence...}

    i love your choice, joanna! i think it matches your class & beauty!

    I am an absolute slave to Coco Chanel Mademoiselle... So elegant and young. When I wear it, I truly feel like Madame Chanel herself...
    Lately, however, I've been excited to finish off my bottle so that I can go ahead and buy my newest favorite. I smelled Miss Dior Cherie in a magazine, and fell in love. It's wonderful, just wonderful.

    ReplyDelete

  46. I personally find Chanel No 5 really unappealing and grandmotherly. But those are just my nosebuds. =)

    I wear Angel Innocent by Thierry Mugler. It's light and delicate with citrus undertones.

    ReplyDelete

  47. I always loved Oscar de la Renta..until I got together with my sweetie Richard. It makes him sneeze!

    ReplyDelete

  48. Chanel No 5! And people ask me all the time what I wear - it responds so differently with each woman - and our uniqueness is key!

    ReplyDelete

  49. I almost never wear perfume, but when I do it's Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. I only wear it when I'm going to a relatively fancy place or to a social gathering with people I don't know. I get very nervous with new people, and wearing it always makes me feel like I've got a chic little shield to keep me safe.

    ReplyDelete

  50. I like Chanel No. 5! I wear Clinique Happy Heart and love it. It gives me instant energy and happiness because of all the citrus, and it makes me feel girly because of the florals.

    ReplyDelete
  51. michelle2:14 PM

    24 Faubourg by Hermes. I'm planning my next perfume purchase, the Pamplemousse Rose scent, also by Hermes. I like the idea of Chanel No. 5, but it's a bit too heavy for me.

    ReplyDelete

  52. Chanel No. 5 is a bit too strong for me as well. But I wear and love Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle

    ReplyDelete

  53. I am OBSESSED with fragrance. It's truly an art form that I feel most people don't really pay attention to. I used to stick to only one scent as I wanted to have a "signature", but then I realized that that's boring. Why limit myself when there is so much beauty to experience?

    I adore Frederic Malle's L'Eau d'Hiver (wearing it today, actually), L'Artisan's Dzing, and my favorite Chanel is Cuir de Russie, a gorgeous leather. I really need to do another perfume post on my blog.....

    A perennial favorite is Estee Lauder's Paradise, and on a girls-gone-mild heartbreak vacation (my jilted best friend's honeymoon), a very sauve, dancing Latin man told me I smelled like "cherries and strawberries" when wearing it. For fun, I bought it upon return at a duty free shop for my girl. She soon met her new-and-improved fiance' when wearing it for luck!

    ReplyDelete

  55. FOR ME ITS BETWEEN MARC JACOBS DAISY OR DIOR CHERIE OR THE BRIGHT PINCK CHANEL ONE. I LIKE THE YOUNG LIGHT FLORAL ONES

    ReplyDelete

  56. I love Chanel No. 5 but it is to strong me for me. It reminds me of my mother and grandmother... classy.

    Chanel No. 5 was the first fragrance from Parisian couturier Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, and has been on sale continuously since its introduction in 1921. It has been described as "the world's most legendary fragrance", and remains the company's most famous perfume.

    "If it had been worn by somebody with no chic it would never have become a style."

    Movie star Marilyn Monroe's endorsement of the brand is said to have contributed to its popularity. In 1953, when asked what she wore in bed, Monroe famously replied, "Why, Chanel No. 5, of course." Chanel herself is quoted as saying, "A woman should wear fragrance wherever she expects to be kissed." ~ Wikipedia

  57. I prefer chance to no. 5, which I find to be too musky. My everyday perfume is hermes eau des mervailles though.

    ReplyDelete

  58. i don't! bah, and i wouldn't know where to start.

    ReplyDelete

  59. I wear Ore by Zents fragrance. It's spicy, earthy, a bit masculine, and makes me feel incredibly sexy. I get complimented on it every single time I wear it. Only $52 per bottle, not bad. http://www.zents.com/

    ReplyDelete

  60. My mom gave me her bottle of Chanel No5 and I LOVE it. I also like to wear J'adore!

    ReplyDelete

  61. For me, Chanel No.5 Eau Première is my absolute favorite... it's everything I've ever hoped for in a perfume, and not too strong... It's the only perfume I can stand all day... maybe with the exception of L'Occitane Verbena....

    ReplyDelete

  62. I have several favourites: Agent Provocateur, Hermes Terre (for men but gorgeous), Shalimar, Mitsouko and L'Heure Bleu (all those early Guerlains are wonderful IMHO). Scent can make a even a jeans and T-shirt day extra-special.

    ReplyDelete

  63. Coco Madamoiselle. I knows its a lot sweeter smelling than No. 5, but I really like the way it smells on me.

    ReplyDelete

  64. I have a bit of a perfume obsession! I collect them because I love to try new ones all the time (smell might be my favorite sense). Right now I'm working my way through a Ralph Lauren sample. I also tend to gravitate toward hard-to-find or limited edition, and then I fall in love with them and can't get them (i.e. Aura Sciences scents made for Victoria's Secret).

    There is something to be said for having a signature scent, however. Mine, the first perfume I wore, is Estee Lauder Pleasures. My boyfriend finds it so familiar he doesn't like when I wear anything else! My second sig scent is Passion Flower by Lily Bermuda (here I go with the hard-to-find, although you can order it off the Web site).

    ReplyDelete

  65. Summers in the desert call for Bobby Brown Beach, but for the rest of the year it's Balmain all the way. I love the clean, powdery scent, and the bottle's top reminds me of a disco ball :)

    ReplyDelete

  66. I alternate. For work days, it's Obsession Night (which I hear has been discontinued now... eek!) For fun nights out, it's Escada Magnetism. And to make me feel warm and fuzzy, I always have my favorite Calvin Klein Euphoria.

    ReplyDelete

  67. Chanel No. 5 is classic. I have a few favorite perfumes-- Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, and Gucci...I switch it up every day. :)

    ReplyDelete

  68. I wear Calvin Klein Euphoria (the original). I get compliments on it all the time. I don't like really like powdery or floral perfumes. I like them sweet but rich like vanilla-y.

    ReplyDelete

  69. for some reason i am allergic to chanel! i tried it on and i got hives all over my wrists...
    so unfortunate!
    i wear miss dior cherie.

    ReplyDelete

  70. Love it. Wearing it today mixed with Jill Stuart's Night Blooming Lily. No 5 is best mixed with something fresh if you're under 40 I think.

    ReplyDelete

  71. My favorite is Stella in Two Peony. I feel magical when I wear it :)

    ReplyDelete

  72. love no. 5 but i wear burberry brit or fcuk for her (french connection) it's kind of hard to find in dallas though :(

    ReplyDelete

  73. my signature scent is Clinique Happy Heart - lots of GUYS asks me, what this scent is :) a former boyfriend told me it is like diesel oil in terms of TURNING him ON.
    my husband likes it a lot, as well. so i bought him Clinique Happy for Men for his bday. also, i had a travel size of Clinique Happy To Be - which does not beat Happy Hart - but i always took it with me for our travels, and he loved my TRAVEL scent, as well.

    i also liked Manifesto from Isabella Rosselini, and wore Angel by Thierry Mugler for several years. but then my Dad bought me Happy Heart, and it was love at first sight (smell).

    ReplyDelete

  74. I love Coco Madmoiselle and Daisy.

    ReplyDelete

  75. No 5 is great and I wear it often and people often compliment me on it and are surprised to find out it is No5. I think it depends on your body chemistry how the perfume smells to others.
    No % is also a great 'layering' perfume. Works well in combination with other scents.

    I wore Chanel No5 for years- still love it. Now I wear Bulgari Christalline

    ReplyDelete

  77. I wear Burburry, the round bottle, it's very sweet and subtle :) I used to wear Ralph Lauren Blue when I lived closer to the beach.

    ReplyDelete

  78. I'm usually not one for perfume (I do fancy a Mistral scent which I think is blackberry) but I've been meaning to take a whiff on No. 5. I've always just heard good and classy things about it.

    ReplyDelete

  79. I don't wear any perfume. I used to wear some occasionally and my husband told me to stop covering up the scent of me. No need to ask twice!

    ReplyDelete

  80. In my humble opinion Ralph Lauren makes the best perfumes and cologne's that money can buy!

    ReplyDelete

  81. I wear Coco Mademoiselle and just love it. My mom has worn Estee Lauder's "Beautiful" ever since I can remember and I love to smell it because I always think of her.

    ReplyDelete

  82. Chanel No. 5 is classic, but isn't my favorite, (I personally wear GreenHouse by Demeter). My mom wears Chanel No. 19 and I think its so classy and fresh.

    ReplyDelete

  83. I wear Paris by Yves Saint Laurent. My mom wears Chanel No. 19 :)

    ReplyDelete

  84. seriously, every 30 seconds?! that's crazy!

    I keep a bottle of no 5 for special occasions, but I love Marc Jacobs gardenia!

    ReplyDelete

  85. I have to have different parfumes for different part of my life! :) For work I use DKNY but I'm really getting into Burberry... For haning out with friends & fiance I fell in love with new H Boss Orange! So perfect and free! And for fancy nights out when I need to feel like a lady I always use Miss Dior L'eau :) OH I love parfumes... as you can tel :P If i could i would have 15 of them and just change them every day! :P (tho not sure how would Graeme feel about this :P )

    ReplyDelete

  86. I love Chanel, but No 5 is the only one of their that I can't wear. For some reason it smells like cats pee on me. My all time favorite is Coco though. I always get lots of compliments when I wear it. :0)

    ReplyDelete

  87. I have 3: Miss Dior Cherie, Daisy by Marc Jacobs, and Chance Chanel. I wear Daisy for work and normal stuff, Miss Dior Cherie is for dinner and going out with my boyfriend, and Chanel is for really special occasions like anniversary celebrations and weddings! :)

    I think perfume is great because it makes me feel so feminine. Also, you can buy designer perfume and feel important, even if you can't afford anything else by the designer!

    ReplyDelete

  88. lovely by sarah jessica parker is my signature scent :) it's the prettiest and loveliest scent.

    ReplyDelete

  89. I wear Acqua di Gio for more than 10 years now... Sometimes I wear Agua de Loewe.

    ReplyDelete

  90. My signature scent is Very Irresistible by Givenchy, I love it so much that I just feel weird when I leave the house and haven't sprayed it.

    Nina by Nina Ricci is another amazing perfume I've been using a lot, the bad thing is it doesn't stay on for too long.

    Perfume definitely adds a nice touch, I feel feminine and dressed up in a way. Not to mention that it can be a trademark.

    xx,
    Ale.

  91. Coco by Chanel and Shalimar as well. xx

    ReplyDelete

  92. Molinard - Ils d'or.

  93. I used to secretly dab my mom's Chanel 5 when i was 12-13:) Now my all time favorite scent is D&G Light Blue! LOVE IT!!!!!! <3

    ReplyDelete

  94. I wear Vera Wang's "Princess" for days when I want to feel extra pretty, and most of the time I wear Philosophy's "Pure Grace" - it smells fresh, light, and CLEAN. Like I just got out of the shower and put on clothes dried out on the line.

    ReplyDelete

  95. I don't wear perfume, but I always imagined that Chanel No. 5 would be the one for me if I did. I'm secretly hoping that someday I'll get a little bottle as a birthday or Christmas gift...

    ReplyDelete

  96. I always wear Jo Malone, her fragrances are PERFECT and so original, ever since people always ask me what I wear...I see no fun in smelling the same as every other woman on the tube!

    ReplyDelete

  97. Chanel No. 5 - Oh how I love it..I dont care if it smells like grandma or whatever - this perfume is amazing..and even better is Coco Chanel. I wear Chanel Chance though coz its bit more light and 'young'. Also like Dolce n Gabbana's light blue

    ReplyDelete

  98. I think it's such a sophisticated and classy scent. I personally use Chanel Allure (evening) and Chanel Chance (daytime), but Chanel No.5 will always be Chanel No.5 =)

    ReplyDelete

  99. yum. i use santa maria novella potpourri in the fall and winter, (copying my most chic male friend.) i've been accused of smelling like a campfire (!), but i don't mind!

    ReplyDelete

  100. However many other scents I try, I always come back to No5

    ReplyDelete

  101. I wear different ones depending on my mood for the day but my favorite, the one I wear most often is Oxygene by Lanvin. It is just fresh and clean! My mother ALWAYS wore White Shoulder, it WAS her signature. I still have the last bottle she had with a smidgen of it left.

    ReplyDelete

  102. I love some of the old favorites. Joy and Nina bu Nina Ricci.

    ReplyDelete

  103. I wear Hanae Mori by Hanae Mori. It makes me feel pretty [and like i'm walking through fields of flowers and cotton candy]. :)

    ReplyDelete

  104. It does smell like a grandma...
    the super chic grandma that you hope you inherit everything from.

    ReplyDelete

  105. My grandmother has always worn White Diamonds, so whenever I smell someone wearing it, I don't say 'Hey, that's White Diamonds,' I say, 'Hey, that's Grandmother!' :)

    ReplyDelete

  106. I don't really wear perfume. I love Bulgari and for years I wore Beautiful (my friends still say it reminds them of me). But I'm allergic to most perfumes. Chanel #5 is my favorite though, for sentimental reasons. My mom has worn it since I was a baby. I absolutely love it:)

    ReplyDelete

  107. Oh , it my scent . . my scent from the age of 15 ( am 27 today ) , it reminds me of freshness , my mom and the smell of her palms when she braids my hair ..

  110. my mother wore it too. One time my boyfriend and I were going to mexico and we were in the duty free shop.I went over to the perfumes and saw the Chanel No. 5. I called him over and said - Do you want to know what my mom smelled like? I know it sounds like a weird thing to say but -
    He never got to meet her. She died when I was 20 and that was 9 years before he and I met. I love that perfume because it brings her back to me.

    ReplyDelete

  111. oh my, i don't know why, but i never, never liked chanel no.5. not because it reminds me of anything that i consider to be ugly, i just don't like the smell, it makes me sick. i'm currently wearing secret obsession by calvin klein :) it's divine!

    ReplyDelete

  112. I was going to say how serendipidous you just made that post as I just aquired my first bottle of no.5 on friday... but then I read i bottle is sold every 30 seconds and now its not such a coincidence is it :)

    I work for a womans mag so i got mine for free but im already so in love with it i have no qualms with paing for my next 20 bottles... its my new smell! x

    ReplyDelete

  113. I wear "Coco Mademoiselle" of Chanel since many many years and nowadays I also would like to try Jo Malone.

    ReplyDelete

  115. I wear flowerbomb by viktor and rolf. i've worn the same perfume for a few years now and i'm wondering if it's time for a change. however, i'm struggling to find something i like more!

  119. I love that you actually just decided to go "perfume shopping"! I have never done that and think it's fantastic that you set out to enjoy something so simple - choosing a scent.

    I love Chanel No. 5 but haven't bought it because I've been self conscious of the potential link to grandma... but now's a great time to revisit my fears! Thanks for the fun post!

  131. Oh, I love you Chanel fragrances. Of course I wear N5. And also N19, Chance En Fraiche. Cristalle.

    Oh Cristalle.

    Best in eau de toilette for me as to remain subtle and soft on my skin.

    And I never wear any other brands. Chanel is the very best.

  136. Oh my gosh. I totally agree. It smells so classic and feminine to me. Timeless really.

  138. I adore Poppy by Coach, but usually for special occasions. My everyday scents are Malaia by Hollister (idk why but my chemistry mixes really well with that one) and Hastings Blush by Gilly Hicks (body spray with some class)
