Top Perfume Picks – Chanel No. 5
Top Perfume Picks – Chanel No. 5
“We love perume and we love the way it can attract ones senses and opposite sex. We have put together our own perspectives and personal choices when it comes to smelling good.”
If you want to know what Chanel’s new No. 5 Eau Première smells like, try this: take a bottle of Chanel No. 5 Eau de Parfum and position it next to a window, preferably overlooking a hedge of roses, where the sun will cast a pinkish light through the bottle. Now cross the room and squint your eyes so that your vision of the bottle of No. 5 blurs. That is Eau Première. Perhaps the commercial with Nicole Kidman will entertain your mind for the coming attractions.(see below)
Eau Première takes the essence of No. 5 — its neroli, roses, jasmine, ylang ylang, amber, vetiver, and sandalwood — and softens it, stripping away the aldehydic edges and the bits that smell of straw-colored Italian wine, to leave an easy-to-sing-along-with version of the original. When you smell Eau Première, you know you smell the direct kin of No. 5. But instead of the elegant auntie that is No. 5, you get her niece, the Homecoming Queen who aspires to a career in public relations.
Do I like Eau Première well enough to shell out for a bottle? Uh…Yeah!. It’s a nicely balanced and carefully made scent.
