Is it a classic that will never go out of fashion or are the more modern perfumes now in favour?

Ladies what's your go to perfume that makes you feel sexy?

Which Chanel? There are many.

No. 5 is nice… but too strong.

I haven’t really found my signature scent. My body chemistry doesn’t like perfumes.

some I wear and I like but they don’t wow me are Jo Malone’s Peony and Blush Suede, Penhaligon’s Elizabethan Rose, Flowerbomb and Miss Dior Rose and Roses.

In men I like Dior’s Fahrenheit. Anything that isn’t Creed Aventus will do lol.

I love channel no 5. It's one of the few perfumes that isn't a spray which causes allergic reactions me. Thankfully I also love the scent of it.

There’s more than one Chanel perfume.

No.5 smells like a granny to me though. A classy granny but too heavy and old fashioned.

I do like YSL Libre and Versace’s Crystal Noir though.

I think No.5 is a bit overpowering.. I quite like Chance so may treat myself but it's £120 so I need to REALLY like it!

I wear it all the time but I get what you mean. It's got associations with old people. I guess it is old fashioned too. I still love it though

Channel Allure is one of my favourites. Loved it from when it first came out until now. Perfume is probably one of the few "typical women things" I do. I love smelling it on other too. I have a bottle of Coco in my collection but Allure is the best Channel fragrance in my opinion.

"Coco Madamoiselle for me

Ding ding ding.

Sorry ladies, my mum wears 5. It's a no go from me.

Best thing to do is try them, they all sit and react differently.

My skin burns through some stuff, others last beautifully.

Typically the ones that last, cost. I'd much prefer to pay Lynx Africa prices but ho hum.

They cost dearly because of the quality of the ingredients used hence why they last.

I’m sure Aldi could help you with a less expensive imitation

I'm well stocked and know my range now so to speak.

I won't deviate, it took too much trial and error, and the results are worth it.

Plus Brut and Old Spice do occasionally go on offer. Patience is key.

Chanel No 5 is too heavy and overpowering for me, much like the Opium that my mum used to wear when I was a kid.

I use Light Blue by D&G because it's one of the few perfumes that doesn't give me a headache when I wear it...I used to love Paul Smith Floral but they discontinued it

I like Sauvage and JPG Le Male on men, and Creed Aventus will always have me turning my head to see who smells so good

Hi,

For those of you that feel No5 is too strong, may I suggest No19 - Allegedly Coco's personal favourite.

That said No5 is a classic - Great Ads. I love the Audrey Tautou Orient Express one, 'Train de Nuit' - watch out for the shimmering reflection of the bottle!

I've have Bleu de Chanel and Tom Ford Extreme for "special occasions". I wastefully (as its far too good a scent for day to day) wear Sauvage for work!

For informal daily wear - "L'Occitan Eau de Toilette" by L'OCCITANE en Provence.

Otherwise - "Eau d'Orange Verte" by Hermès, which I've been wearing since I was sixteen. Also, "Blenheim Bouquet" by Penhaligons, if I'm feeling positively bullish.
