Most Helpful Critical Review Smells like a rich, old woman I'm not sure why this is such an iconic scent/bottle. Aesthetically it's very nice to look at, would look great on any vanity. Maybe it's just the way it smells on me, but it smells very much like an old person perfume. Maybe a good gift for Grandma.

I love this product. My usual go to is Black Opium, but this is becoming my favorite.
This redo of the classic, is still a classic. 5
moonrose from midwest US
I tried a sample and it turns out that I actually do like Chanel No. 5 Eau de Parfum, even though it is much too popular. It's nice. Really nice. Subtle, soft, and confident. It keeps getting better. Very alluring and addictive. It doesn't demand, it beckons. Three hours I get peppery notes but perhaps they are musk. It feels supple, nimble, and elegant. It makes me want to live up to it's magic.
Note: I have a sensative, can become very irritated with fragrance, but this is beautiful and lasts well over a day worn under my ears and wrists.
Always on me 5
Cathie G-T from Kenner, LA
This has been my signature fragrance since I was old enough to afford it. Smaller size is very portable for travel or quick touch ups. Never overwhelming but clearly recognizable, like me!
Timeless 5
Fifi from Nebo Nc
I gifted my classy 86 year old mother with Chanel this Christmas. She was very happy to receive this perfume as it has been her ONE most favorite fragrance of all. And she's tried many. This is the one that has carried her throughout her life , making her feel extraordinary as only Chanel can do when it comes to a timeless fragrance.
This bottle will last her atleast a year and give her that extra special nostalgic feel!

Beautiful any day any occasion
Classic scent, not like candy 5
Ap from Houston
Many people call this "old" or "matronly". If you wore any kind of cotton candy themed scent in the last couple of years, skip this and don't complain. Try something made by a pop star perhaps, or maybe sugar cookie body spray instead. This is for women who appreciate the classic clean smell. It reminds me of being clean, bathing in a floral light bath. Does it smell kind of a "rich woman" like other or say? Maybe and I don't mind. But it doesn't smell like lollipops, so I love it!
Still my favorite for over 20+ years! 5
Whyterose from Cincinnati, OH
I use only a small amount and it lasts for several hours, its a wonderful scent for any occasion.
Timeless, chic, multifaceted fragrance. 5
FragranceEnthusiast from PA
I have have both "Eau de Premiere" and this traditional scent. Hands down, tradition and classics are for me. The fragrance almost reminds me of going on a first date, and your date is so amazing, they knock your hair back. You can see in their eyes, expressions and jokes that by the end of the night, you'll be asking for that second date. Also, this was Marilyn Monroe's signature scent. Perfect for a multifaceted woman.

Disgusting 1
Addie from Michigan
The scent smells extremely aged and not appealing
Baby powder.. Noooo 2
Brittbrit from Tennessee
Smells like baby powder. I wanted to cry, so disappointing. It gets to stars because I bought it without smelling it in the store. It didn't smell anything like the magazine sample I got.

Love Chanel No. 5! 5

Use for special occasions.
A classic 5
Classy from Raleigh, NC
No 5 is the only perfume I've ever worn my entire life. I get compliments all the time. It is not an old person's perfume! It is fresh smelling and not overpowering. A true classic perfume! Will not wear anything else.
A classic, sophisticated scent 5
Independent Thinker from Delaware
Perfume is a personal taste and it smells differently on different people. If you like something, buy it. Chanel 5 is a classic for a reason. It is a beautiful scent that many enjoy. If someone thinks its for "old people" because older people they know use it, then that attitude is an influencer not a reality. Perhaps "old people" just have good taste and know the value of quality. If you're younger, love the scent and don't care what others think then good for you. You're a classic sophisticated woman!
Chanel N 5 5
Cowgirl from Wyoming
I've used Chanel N 5 Parfum since my early 20. It is a beautiful fragrance. Those whom have complained about Chanel N 5 need to test the EAU DE TOILET. Some people must use the EAU de Toilet & not the Parfum. That goes without saying for any fragrances.
it's a classic 5
Mary from Virginia
I'm always going to love Chanel No. 5. If it smells like old people to you, it's probably because it's been around for decades and you may know older people who have worn it. (For example, consider the famous Marilyn Monroe quote where she said this was the only thing she wore to bed.)
Makes me feel like $1 million 5
MnNice from MN
I wore this in my 20s and stopped wearing it for sometime. Now that I'm in my mid-40s I am bringing it back and wow it makes me feel amazing. It's a strong powerful scent that may not be right for everyone, but it is truly one of the best parfum ever.
I also love Chanel Coco which is a bit more masculine.
Very Strong 2
Danyell from CA
Too strong. A tiny bit and you'll smell like it all day. I remembered it smelling better. I am 28 and this smells like something my Grandma wears. I will be giving her both the perfume and the lotion I purchased and stick with Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent.
My favorite scent. Fresh and delicate. 5
Iron Kitten from Torrance, CA
I love how elegant and soft this scent is. A classic scent that is pretty and not overpowering.

Great scent for someone that's older 5
NtIcng from LA, CA
So the scent itself is really great - for someone that is older. My mom and aunts love it and it smells really good on them but they're older 50+. If you're under that age bracket it probably wouldn't be to your liking. Reviewing perfumes is tricky, they smell different on everyone even if the original scent is there. I wouldn't purchase it for myself or any of my friends but it does have an elegance to it that I feel goes best with someone that is older. It gets five stars from me because a little goes a long way but again, in my opinion it's definitely aimed for a certain age bracket. I compare it to Estée Lauder's Youth Dew, it's too strong for me, a little goes a long way and I find older women like it.
Classic 5
CJ from Wilmington,nc
This scent is iconic, and will always be iconic. It is classy and will suit any woman of any age. The scent lasts quite a long time, and I only refresh it once after using it.
