Coco Chanel was a tiny women with immense talent for creating perfumes. Of all the ones she created, the one for which she is most famous for is just called ’’Number 5’’. This perfume has been around some 50 years or so now, and used to be very expensive ...times have changed though, and it is now in the high end of the medium price ranges.
I think most women try it at least once ...just so they can say that they have used it.
Unfortunately, it did not fare well on my skin and smelled quite awful, too cloying and heady for me where I usually prefer lighter scents.
The name ’’Chanel Number 5’’ carries with it the aura of the extravagant and will probably go down in history. It is a good gift for a woman, even if (like me) she may never wear it. At least she can name drop and say she once had a bottle.
