N°5
Eau de Toilette Spray

I received Channel No. 5 for my 16th birthday from my Godmother. I loved it then and at age 70 still love it. I have had many people ask me "What are you wearing?" for all these years. A lot of men loved it and made introductions. I know it could be a line, but only happened with Channel. I, of course, am known for the scent to friends and family. I hear they are changing it. I hope the old No. 5 will continue to be available. But, maybe I will like the new one, too. Who knows. Thank you for listening. Barbara

Channel #5 has been a constant in my life. First, to be old enough to wear it ( I was 11 when my love of it began) and later to make enough to purchase it and still pay the rent in my 20s. From my 30s to 60s I was able to have it all, to layer of course. Then life changed and I was unable to buy Chanel anymore but my desire for it never changed. I dreamed of the day I could walk into Nordstrom and walk out with it. Now, at 71 that day finally came! I didn't walk in to purchased i bought it online. When it came, it was not the same. Nothing about it was the same. I researched and found out for many reasons it had been changed. My heart is broken. This change is in no way your fault, but I can't give you a good review on my purchase.

I can't wear fragrance. I get stuffy, scents change on me, they're too intense or too light - a fragrance disaster. And I've always been envious of all those who wear fragrance and smell wonderful. I have finally found my fragrance. I tried the EDT for a few days before purchasing, and it's perfect. It does not smell like any individual flower, it's lasting but not too strong, it doesn't make me feel stuffy or give me a headache, and for hours I can smell the soft, pretty, powdery scent. The top notes are stronger and sharper, but after a short time it becomes a lighter, soft, perfect fragrance.The spray bottle is also great, because it sprays just a little, and in a narrow range, so I don't feel like I'm wasting it.
