The other day, I was writing a blog post about my favourite perfumes. I went to link to my review on the Chanel No5 and was astounded that I have never reviewed it before. If you have read my blog for some time, you will know that Chanel No5 perfume has been my favourite for a number of years. I talk about it all the time and wear it for a good six months out of the year. The sheer thought that I haven’t reviewed this before is just insane and today I am going to write that wrong. I am sure that you guys can already tell that this post is going to be very gushing and the outcome is that I simply adore this cult classic item!
My history with this Chanel No5 perfume.
I feel like my history with Chanel No5 goes back many years. As a young girl, I would play dress up in my mom’s fancy bedroom. I would put on her high heels, smear lipstick all over my face and douse myself in her Chanel No5 perfume. She would go mad at me for wasting half a bottle of £100 perfume, but I adored it and did it for many years. Then, as I got older, I became obsessed with Marilyn Monroe. As soon as I heard the classic phrase about her wearing nothing but Chanel No5 to bed, I was hooked and I had to get a bottle for myself!

Why do I wear this.
The main reason why I continue to wear Chanel No5 is because of the warm fuzzy feeling that it gives me. For all of the reasons that I have just mentioned, I still love this perfume to this day. There is something comforting, warming and homely about this fragrance for me. Not to mention, it gives me all the rich girl vibes in my life. I imagine that I am an old woman wearing a boucle Chanel suit sipping on a Martini in the Ritz. It is all about how the perfume makes me feel and this is just amazing for me.
Â
What do others think of when I wear this.
There are quite a few different perfumes in my collection that I love. I feel like the perfumes that I love are all fairly neutral and they are general crowd pleasers. When it comes to the Chanel No5 perfume, I get the most compliments out of all other perfumes that I wear. Especially because I do love to put this perfume through my hair, I get so many people saying how good I smell when my hair is swishing about in the breeze. That is always such a good feeling. We all want people to recognise when we are wearing a pricey perfume on!

If I would recommend this perfume.
As I am sure you guys can guess from how much I have gushed about this item, I adore this perfume. This works for me absolutely fantastically for me. I don’t think that I will ever stop wearing this and I feel like it is so quintessentially me. However, I don’t know if I would recommend this to people. Honestly, I think that fragrance is such a personal preference and what works for me and my body chemistry, may not work for somebody else. I do recommend that you guys go and at least try this out!
I know that you guys will already understand that I love this Chanel No5 perfume. For me, there is so much around this perfume that will make it a forever favourite of mine. There is history that goes alongside it and I don’t think that will change for the rest of my life. I completely understand that some people do not love this perfume anymore. Honestly, I do get it 100%. There are so many different perfumes on the market these days and there is something for everybody. However for me, my body chemistry and for my taste, this is what I adore. You can bet your bottom dollar that I wear every single autumn and winter without fail. As always, I will pop a link to this perfume below if you would like to try it out for yourself!
