And life.....an eternal circle....
This beautiful song from "The Lion King", was the first thing that came to mind when I sprayed Chanel No.5 EDT in a perfumery for the first time again today - after a few years break.....
A fragrance description in the sense of fragrance notes is - so I think - no longer necessary at this point.....that was already done in detail by other dear membersan....
I would rather describe the feeling that just arises in me, while I - wrapped in this magical scent - enjoy a cappuccino in the morning sun......
And just as the morning sun symbolizes the end of a day gone by and the beginning of a new one, so too Chanel No.5 - right now, at this very moment - heralds the beginning of a new cycle in my decades-long fragrance journey.....the circle has come full......I stand where I began....at Chanel No.5.....
When I first discovered this fragrance when I was 13 or 14, it was definitely "mainstream"......it was as present as "Angel" or "La vie est belle"......now it is no longer.....everyone knows it (even if often only by hearsay), but only a few wear it....even perhaps its flankers.....
Here I sit now and feel as if I had just come home after a long journey......yes, THIS is a perfume, as I imagine it....elegant, timeless, noble, classic, confident and feminine beyond measure.....quite according to Madam Chanel's imagination, whose desire it was to create a perfume that smells "like a woman" .....
Whether women actually smell like that by nature, I dare to doubt....to this Jean-Baptiste Grenouille could certainly give better information ;-).....
What I can confirm, however, is that Chanel No. 5 gives the wearer, who is inclined to him, a perfect feeling of deep and sensual femininity, and that this extraordinary fragrance in the coming year not without reason celebrates its 100th birthday.....
