On a personal note when talking about Chanel N°5, it definitely could be considered one of the most legendary perfumes in history. But there is a sad truth for many people who have never gotten in touch with perfume and just want to buy a classic perfume as their first perfume, sometimes they choose Chanel N°5 and then they will think: what the hell is that?! Indeed, the strong scent of aldehydes makes it smell like a kind of old soap or something they could smell probably on their grandmothers. Then many people started to leave bad comments and terrible impressions about Chanel N°5. However, if you are a person who knows a bit of the history of N°5, you will realize there is one thing the date of the most popular N°5 -- Eau de Parfum was launched in 1986 but not 1921, which means the formula of it was changed from the original one. Many people are talking about if you want to purchase the modern format of N°5 which is most similar to the original one that launched 100 years ago, the best choice could be Eau de Toilette. When I was 18, I got a bottle of N°5 Eau de Toilette, and before that, I had already tried the N°5 Eau de Parfum and it left me a kind of not-very-well impression of this perfume too. But when I sprayed a bit of N°5 Eau de Toilette on me, I felt this scent was just so beautiful! After that, I started to understand the beautifulness of her and knew why she could be one of the most classic and popular perfumes in the world. So if you want to try Chanel N°5, I strongly introduce you to Eau de Toilette. For me, Eau de Parfum is just a kind of failure in the perfume industry.
