Chanel No. 5 is pure magic in a bottle. I’ve loved many fragrances over the years, but nothing compares to her.
An all time favorite, is it just me or had the composition changed in the last few years? No. 5 was known for the longevity and sweet spillage.

If opening an old, woody, duty filled with cobwebs and mothballs was bottled. I was so disappointed and disgusted.
doesn't live up to its reputation. not good, not bad, just okay. the most recent review calls it 'a fancy baby powder smell' and i couldn't agree more
