Chanel Fragrance Fans

Anyone tried the new Chanel No. 5??? When I first saw it in the magazine I thought "oh no, why are they messing with that. Chanel No. 5 is just that, you can have another. But I was wrong. It actually smells so very close but there's a very subtle difference and I can't put my fingers on, but it's lovely. It was the very first parfum I owned and it was given to me by my Dad. I was quite young, probably too young for such a fancy fragrance.

I believe the EU banned certain ingredients that make up Chanel No. 5 because of the possibility of allergies. I think it was oak moss and tree moss. Chanel isn't the only parfume that had to change their formulations.

I have not tried the new Chanel nor have I worn it in years but it is quite lovely. I also liked Coco Chanel. I worked part time at a fragrance counter. i never wore fragrance at that time because I was sick of all the different scents.

There still is the original No. 5, but this is a new version. It's a little lighter, not much. I didn't think I would care for anything other than the original but it's so close that I think you'd enjoy it. It's called No5 L'eau.

I just checked out their website. It's call No 5 L'Eau. Here is some info:

Composition

Composed by Chanel perfumer Olivier Polge, N°5 L’EAU features dynamic, crisp top notes of Lemon, Mandarin and Orange that reveal lightheartedness and transparency. The emblematic heart of the bouquet unfolds with Rose, Jasmine and a new fraction of Ylang Ylang, more modern than ever. Behind this floral whirlwind lies an unprecedented sense of liveliness: the vibrant echo of Cedar, accompanied by soft and cottony Musk notes.

What mag was this in? I'm dying to know what it smells like. I love Chanel fragrances.

I just checked Ebay and they have spray samples. I'm getting one.

Several bloggers and vloggers I follow just RAVED about it. I've sprayed it on myself on 3 separate occasions, and I just don't get the hype. Not for me.

I love the new Chanel fragrance! I haven't bought it yet, but I plan to do so. The price is steep; about $135 for the larger bottle, which would be almost $150 with tax! I will buy it sometimes before x-mas for a gift for myself! It is divine.

I already bought it when it first came out! I only wear Chanel number 5 perfume. I like it even better than the original. It is lighter and has a lovely rose scent that his not too overly flowery. They added citris for balance. It is fabulous.

I always fall back to Chanel #19. Have worn it for years.

Don't like it -- definitely a change in formulation. I used to wear it all the time, but not this new version.

I first smelled it from a fragrance strip inside one of my magazines, and I thought it smelled nice, but when I actually sprayed it on me in a store I didn't like it at all. To those who like it, enjoy !

So does this mean that the original Chanel 5 isn't going to be sold any more?

Or are they replacing it with the new one?

Re: Chanel Fragrance Fans

sidsmom — Sun, 20 Nov 2016 17:26:21 GMT

Don't wear fragrance anymore but when I did,

Chanel No5 was my JAM!

I wore the lotion...which was almost scented enough to wear alone.

I also wore the powder...which was kinda sparkly in sunlight.

Ahhhh...'80s memories.

I liked it as a teenager. I also wore #19. I haven't worn any Chanel in years and decided to try it again a few months ago. My tastes have surely changed because I thought the No 5 was the most horrid scent ever and very overpowering, it just wouldn't fade. Maybe it's because they changed it? But I think it's me and I just don't like those types of perfumes anymore.

No, I think this new one is a limited edition according to the website. No way would they ever do away with the original. I think they are probably trying to market this for a more modern demographic. The original is a classic and can never be replaced but I'd like to try this version. The last version before this one is the Eau Premier which I love, I'm hoping I'll like the L'Eau so that I can add it to my collection.
