The cool beauty with the warm heart
I could slap myself that I have not gotten to know this wonderful scent before. I've never met Chanel No. 5 anywhere
My mother never liked him and there is no one in my circle of acquaintances who wears or ever wore Chanel No 5. I began to wonder if this scent might be so aloof that no one would dare to approach it.
Now he is recently with me as a test specimen in the eau de parfum version and I am raptured
I know it does not correspond exactly to the original No. 5 of 1921, but is considered a new interpretation created in the 1980s by Jacques Polge. But I consider this new interpretation to be outstandingly successful.
And I am relieved to discover that Chanel No 5 is not an aloof and unattainable fragrance.
I have been working on the fragrance for quite a while now and would like to say a few sentences about it.
First of all I notice this cool, slightly candle waxy note, with an almost metallic touch. In addition one can guess delicate citrus notes, which lighten up this waxy-metallic cool note.
Soon a bouquet of bright white flowers appears, so pure white that I am almost blinded by its beauty and brilliance. The cool impression is still there, together with the candle wax-like background.
The radiant bouquet lasts a long time and waves with its cool elegance.
There is something diva-like about it, whereby Chanel No 5 never seems bitchy and alluring in my nose. The overall impression is altogether a very friendly one, even if a bit distanced.
But we divas like to allow a little distance
You have to wait a long time for the base, because here a very skillful turn takes place.
The splendid bouquet of flowers has made its entrance, recedes somewhat into the background and leaves the stage to the notes, which provide a reversal from cool to warm. Amber and vanilla are the most obvious, sandalwood may be present in small traces, I don't smell vetiver.
I have already encountered this reversal from cool to warm with other fragrances, but here with Chanel No 5 I notice it particularly clearly.
And this fine note of candle wax still resonates, I would even like to say that the candle has just been blown out and the hint of warm wax and this fine smoke gives the fragrance an even more refined underline.
Who of us hasn't already consciously perceived this fine smell of a freshly extinguished candle and enjoyed it?
After many hours, the fragrance bids farewell quietly, gently floral and delicately vanilla, like the last glow of a candle until it is completely extinguished.
My conclusion:
Chanel No 5 is a fragrance that should be performed, that needs a great performance and audience. A big gala, a party with evening dress and beautiful jewellery. For the everyday life almost too bad.
This aldehyde candle wax note may certainly put some people off and may also seem old-fashioned (I have often read "Alte Hütte" in aldehyde-laden scents, I find it fitting and delicious), but I prefer to replace the term "old-fashioned" with "timeless".
On the subject of durability, I can only say that many a modern water, whether for ladies or gentlemen, can cut a very thick slice off this EdP. There are easily nine hours in there. At the beginning you are also very well noticed
One of the really great fragrances and in my opinion rightly a wonderful classic and one of the most famous and best-selling fragrances. No matter what the concentration of the fragrance, each one will have its advantages and its lovers.
And it is not for nothing that this composition is the inspiration for so many other fragrances that float along in the aldehyde fairway and some of which can and could hold their own just as well.
I am thinking of Tosca, as well as the original No 5 published in 1921, or Nonchalance from 1960, where there are many similarities
I thank you, dear Santalwalti, very much for making it possible for me to get to know and love this treasure!
I also felt like getting to know the other scent concentrations.
I can only advise everyone to try it. Even if you decide against No. 5.
