Chanel No 5 1.7 oz EDP Spray Refillable I received from my husband for our very first Christmas as husband and wife. I had never used it before. It had such a wonderful light fragrance. It has become my favorite perfume for over 34 years. I especially love it because it is not over powering and doesn't have a flowery scent. I also have sensitive skin and I have found I have no problems with Chanel No. 5.

I have bought and received many different perfumes over the years. But, I remain a fan of Chanel No. 5.

So many other perfumes, are over powering and so flowery that they can make you gag. I have to be careful because my mother starts choking from the scent of flowery perfume. So I stick with my Chanel No. 5, that she has no problems with.

I love how I feel when I am wearing Chanel No. 5, as if it was that first Christmas with my husband, in love and happy.

As I have gotten older, I don't wear perfume except for special occasions. A romantic evening at home watching television, going out to eat, or going to a wedding or another special occasion.

I do not have to spray a lot of Chanel No. 5 on as a little goes along way. Just the wrist, and then rub the wrists together, a little behind each ear, and I do not have to add more. It lasts the whole day and evening.

I am able to purchase a refill bottle which I just have to take the empty bottle out by lifting up the gold band, and replacing it with the new refill. Occasionally I can get a refill for about $35.00, but most of the time the refill is between $42 and $44. I wait for Christmas or Mothers Day to get close, for that is the only time Chanel No. 5 is on sale. At this time they have the separate bottles, the refills(you can purchase them at 50% off), or you can get a gift package with 3~ Chanel items in it. Where I live the only place I can now purchase Chanel No. 5 is at Younkers. It is $50.00 for 5 1.7 oz. The original bottle it came with is black with a gold band right below the cap, on top of the cap in gold is the Chanel No. 5 Logo.

I had to look up the ingredients as there is nothing on the bottle that says what it is made of. No wonder I love it so much. It has some of my favorites, such as lily of the valley, rose, iris, vanilla and jasmine.

I never knew the ingredients until I read this and now I know why it is my number one perfume for, I refuse to say how many years, I just figured it out, ugh. My first bottle was a Christmas gift from a Jewish vendor at a store where I worked, part time in High School. Because I worked nights, it was my job to collect the money from his concession, count it and such. It seemed like such an extravagant and elegant gift to recieve from a stranger. It was the scent that made it an instant and forever hit with me.

Josienita, I HEAR YOU ON THOSE KIND OF FEELINGS, THE OVERLY FLOWERY ONES, OR STRONG MAKES MY MOM CHOKE, AND I GET BAD COUGHING SPELLS. GOOD REASON TO STICK TO SOMETHING THAT WORKS FOR ME. MARY

Great review... I wish I do not get nauseous when I smell perfumes, I do not use them. But I am sure if I did not have this kind of condition, I would use this product.

I have used it a couple of times but Estee is the one I have used for 39 years.
