Product:
Since its creation in 1921, N°5 has exuded the very essence of femininity: An abstract, mysterious scent, alive with countless subtle facets, radiating an extravagant floral richness. In 1986, Jacques Polge, reinterpreted his predecessor Ernest Beaux’s composition to create a fuller, more voluminous version of the now and forever women's fragrance: the Eau de Parfum.

Composition:
With its unprecedented use of aldehydes, which add layers of complexity, N°5 was the world’s first abstract fragrance. The Eau de Parfum draws inspiration from the Parfum with which it shares its floral aldehyde signature. This floral bouquet composed around May Rose and Jasmine features bright citrus top notes. Aldehydes create a unique presence while the smooth touch of Bourbon Vanilla leaves an incredibly sensual trail.

When I wore Black Afgano, the colleague next to me said, "Hm, I smell powder, that old type of scented powder, who is using that?"

Both Sand Aoud and Vol De Nuit, and probably other scents too, earned the "Have you burnt incense at home? Or maybe I smell my own incense from yesterday?" reaction. I like perfumes which have an incensy drydown, and my skin also likes to turn them into this kind of smell.

But the most incredible comment I ever received came when I was wearing Chanel no. 5 in the office. A colleague just arrived, and she said, "What is this furniture polish smell? I smell furniture polish, you know? Anyone else smells furniture polish?"

I love this fragrance and I find it completely wearable, I only have a sample (actually I have to check but if memory serves it is from the EDP), and I use it sparingly. It is uplifting and graceful, for me it is the opposite of a heavy scent.

It seems to me that most people don't perceive fragrances through their noses and don't try to find out their own taste, but judge based on association. If they smelled something on an elderly person they automatically dislike the scent. If they smell something on a young person they find it sexy just as automatically, without paying attention to the fragrance itself and its qualities. I work the other way around: I smell and have a reaction (wow, great, interesting, sharp, sexy, repulsive, strong, aggressive, boring, sophisticated, etc.), and then I look around to find the source of the smell. Most cases whenever I smell something refined and elegant, usually an older person wears it, but that does not make the smell any less amazing. And whenever I smell something cloying, the source is a young person, but that doesn't make the fragrance better for me.

I mean, if someone doesn't like the perfumes that older people are wearing, because they smell like this and that, that's a perfectly good reason! But dismissing them just based on the age group that wears them doesn't make sense. Aldehydes can smell weird on some people's chemistry, powder can be pale and plain, they can be to sweet or not sweet enough... there are tons of valid reasons why to avoid "old lady" scents, but saying "it smells like my grandma / grandpa so I would never wear it" just doesn't make any sense to me.
