I think that this smells very much like the original Chanel perfume. I can now feel rich without having spent too much money.

Keep in mind that this fragrance will depend on your body chemistry. On my skin, it starts out with spicy citrus, then a hint of floral. Finally,it leaves a lovely soft trail of musky warmth. I really like the subtle way that it lingers.

I remember smelling the original No. 5 years ago when I was just 15. It’s now 3 years later and TFS version is heavenly! I remember not liking the original but TFS replication is true to (my memory of) the original, with a slight leaning to the No. 5 Eau Premiere version, if my memory stands correct. I know that I did favor the Eau Premiere version.
The scent itself is indescribably beautiful!!! It’s fresh and clean and lightly floral. I’ve heard people write No. 5 off as “old ladyish” but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The scent is what I imagine the soap very, very rich people, both men and women, use would smell like; it says “Yes I’m rich & sexy, but I’m too classy to shout about it.” (My 14 yo brother said it smells like “baby wipes” an oversimplification IMO but he did agree that it is attractive.)
No. 5 has the sex appeal of Marilyn, the girlish charm of Audrey, the grace of Jackie, and the carefree charisma of James Dean all rolled into one. That probably makes no sense but like I said, No. 5 is indescribable.

Ok, so I bought a whole collection of #5 from Nordys. I kinda went on a little bit of a binge. I then thought about checking the fragrance shop to compare theirs to the original. ( I do that quite a bit). So, it's a little different. but I think that's due to it being actual perfume oil instead of eau de parfum. I will say this, it's pretty darned close. I've gotten more compliments from this than from the original, so what does that mean? I put my perfume lotion and oil from the fragrance shop at 8 am this morning, at 8 PM tonight a lady stopped me in the store to say.."You smell amazing. What is that?" I said," #5" and smiled...need I say more?

The dry oil spray formula moisturizer is great... The scent however disappointing.
I liked the scent but it was very slight concentration. I was hoping for a longer lasting scent...Alas it wasn't long lived.
There was not enough concentration of perfume
to suit my taste.
