I went out today to purchase a new perfume, and found myself at the Chanel counter. I remember a few years ago, I smelled all of Chanel's perfumes, and hated them, so today, I was very hesitant. I sprayed a little of N° 5 on, and walked around a little bit. About 10 minutes later I sniffed my wrist, and wow, I absolutely love this scent. I've heard that this can smell "old lady-ish" but to me this is just the epitome of pure femininity. Chanel N° 5 is one of those scents that either smells lovely on you, or wreaks, because of everyone's different body chemistry. I guess I'm lucky that one of the classics smells good on me, and I'm very grateful, because when I smell this, I think Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Jackie O, all style and woman.
I purchased this in the pure parfum form, because I've heard that the Eau de Toilette doesn't smell like N° 5 very much at all, and that the Eau de Parfum is better. However, if you want all the excellence of Chanel N° 5, you just have to buy the parfum. So I did, albeit, it was quite more expensive.
So, on with my purchases from today:
Chanel N° 5 Parfum
Chanel TEINT INNOCENCE in Albâtre
Chanel LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES in Volage
Chanel OMBRE ESSENTIELLE in Fizz
