Chanel No. 5 L’Eau Review | Best Review Perfume

WHAT IT IS:

A modern, fresh, and vibrant embodiment of the now and forever scent. Timeless and audacious, simple and sophisticated. N°5 L’EAU is the N°5 of today.

The Classic Bottle features a new continuous-misting spray, while the beveled glass appears crystal clear like pure water—an expression of simplicity and elegance.

WHY WE LIKE IT:

Its predecessor, Chanel No. 5, was the bottle that launched a thousand obsessions—and we have a hunch this one will follow suit. Like the original, it uses aldehydes, synthetic molecules that add a can’t-put-your-finger-on-it magnetism to the floral perfume. Either that, or we’re being drawn to the musky undertones and florals of aphrodisiac lore (jasmine, ylang-ylang). Its main attraction, for No. 5 devotees and detractors alike, maybe the difference in intensity. It’s the cashmere wrap to No. 5’s goose-down parka, a study in subtlety, not headiness.

Smell My Neck: Scent Tests

I find most of Chanel’s perfumes to be too heavy, although generally nice-smelling. If Chanel No. 5 smells like a rich old lady, this smells like a very expensive infant. This is a clean, powdery, light floral scent with a touch of some kind of masculine wood to balance the femininity. In other words, it’s perfectly professional and you smell like the cleanest person in the room.

Classic Chanel No. 5 is a must-have scent in any collection, but it just didn’t ever mix well with my skin chemistry. This new rendition of an old classic is beautiful, fresh, citrusy with a warm cedar dry down. While I usually am more drawn to deep woodsy scents, this fresh citrus floral is a welcome change. I’m really surprised on how much I love it!
