Chanel N°5
Chanel No 5 Fragrance No Longer Lasts – Unfortunately just like Estee Lauders - Estee is no longer the same nor is Chanel No 5. They do not last for more than an hour. I tested the au de… Read more
toilette and the perfume and neither lasted. I am running out of ideas. May be try Bvlgari but read the same that the fragrance doesn't last anymore.
Chanel Allure
No Smell – Just tried this as a change but have to take back to shop as cannot smell anything from it was told I have got used to smell but I have never bought it before ?? Show details
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
Takealot SA sells fake for over R4000 – We bought this from Takealot SA, and the smell initially is the same. But after 5 mins its GONE! For the price you pay, you expect it to be the real deal, but dont be fooled...rather go to Woolworths or Shops who sells it. Show details
Chanel Coco
Good – It smells wonderful on some and so so on others. Make sure you try it for a day or two before investing in a full size bottle. P.S. If one more… Read more
person says it "smelt" good I am going to scream. It smelled good is correct. Smelt is a type of fish!!! lasts and is very sensual.
Good – It took me years to understand this perfume...and I confess to a lifetime of joyous interest in perfumes. Only now, after a thorough spray, and the… Read more
ongoing wafts of creamy notes without any sugary sweetness, do I really note its luxurious and sophisticated nature. My previous review prompted me to try Cristalle one more time, and now I see what the fuss is about. I tried the Cristall Verte, an Eau de Toilette, which although pleasant did not "get" me like the EDP, which is like a rich, creamy cocktail, very subtle and intriguing, with undertones of lemon within an unusual soft blend of other scents that I can't name. It is a striking and unusual perfume and not traditional, in my view, so wouldn't appeal to everyone. But I absolutely take back my earlier comment about the scent's echoes of home products.
Chanel N°19
No one knows what I'm wearing but everyone compliments me – Chanel No 19 gets better as it opens up and then fades gracefully away. This is a very different, very sophisticated perfume that attracts attention and is not overused. I love it. Show details
I do not recommend a blind buy. I did due to lack of access to shops and ordered through Myer. I’m 54 with the following perfumes in my collection to… Read more
give a nose comparison. Summer I like L’Or de J’adore or Chanel Gabriel or no 5 eau premiere, winter - Chanel Coco, spring and Autumn depending on weather/temp and mood either Chanel No 5 or original Chanel mademoiselle or Chanel Coco EDT.
The Coco mademoiselle crush absolu is unexpected, not bad, not suited to me, but hopefully I can explain the 3 stars. Firstly it does not smell unique or typical for Chanel. I will not go through composition as I don’t believe I have that nose or skill to identify and like all perfumes, the chemistry will vary on skin and by nose for different people.
The first spray - it’s strong - heavy, sweet (I don’t do sweet) and the first thing that came to mind is 80’s Poison - the green box, purple bottle my sister loved and I found repugnant. Happy to say I did not develop a frontal lobe headache like I do with Chanel chance eau tendre. There was a short lived grapefruit note that lasted a few minutes. After about 30 minutes it calms and takes on sweet vanilla and woody notes but lacks depth.
If you like vanilla patchouli, sweet, woods, syrup profile you would probably gravitate towards this fragrance. Definitely try before you buy and wear all day. I don’t loathe the fragrance but will not wear it. To me it’s for younger people, evening, winter. Even after 2 hours I find the smell cloying and it could stand as a flanker for Dior Poison. It screams 80s nightclub, lace socks, acid wash denim and bubble skirts with a side of Madonna!
