I just love Chanel No 5. I have been wearing it for some 20 years now and I still enjoy the moment I take that beautiful bottle in my hand and spray it on. For me it is one of life's great pleasures. I would agree it either suits you or it doesn't. I just love it and can't count how often it has been complimented, and even if it wasn't it's more about the pleasure I get from wearing it.
I am just back from a trip to New York (fabulous city), and in Bloomingdales they got me to try 'a new' Chanel No 5, that they said is a 'lighter version' of the original. I didn't like it at all, and asked why it was being given the same name... they didn't know... I just hope they don't intend to phase out my all time favourite for this lesser product...
