When I asked people to tell me about their bedtime perfumes, so many people said that Chanel No. 5 was their choice, and so it’s mine tonight. Who am I to argue with the experts?
It might be surprising if you’re not a perfume wearer because No. 5 has a bit of a buttoned up reputation, but if you’ve worn a lot of perfume then Chanel No. 5 just smells like an old friend. We’ve smelled this kind of DNA so many times that you can sleep knowing it won’t bother you. The civet in this version is just animalic enough to make the perfume seem alive, warm, living.
