I was 20 years old in 1968, a full time job, two part-time jobs and in love with a beautiful woman. My work caused tension and clothes, flowers, etc did not ease the relationship. After a hair cut and shave, I had my shoes shined. As we talked, the man was 40 years my senior at least. He listened, he shared and shared his secret. Buy a bottle of Chanel #5 perfume. Worked and saved his marriage many times over the decades I was informed. He even guareented this says more than anything else of what a special woman she is and was to him. After my purchase, I just placed the perfume, gift wrapped, on her vanity. I was joined in the shower shortly afterwards as she had found and used the perfume. We were together 40 years and the bottle of #5 was never empty.

Ordered a small amount to give this famous classic a try. At least on me, it did pretty much nothing, at least nothing special.[...] But even more disapointing was that it was so bland. Save your money.

The best way for me to express how good this perfume is is to express the gratitude of the special person in my life - my wife. SC was well pleased to add this perfume to her stock.

Comments about Chanel # 5 Perfume:

For many years this was my favorite but it is no longer the original floral fragrance I remember. Something has changed, and I don't think it's how my body chemistry "uses" the perfume. It seems not to be the very feminine smell as in the past. I doubt I will order it again. Nevertheless I would recommend it to others who are looking for a more earthy fragrance. I will continue to use the bottle I have on a daily basis.
