What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—longevity—directly echoes the critic concern about variable lasting power, with some experiencing excellent 8-10 hour wear while others report minimal scent projection.
In their words
“What I love most is the longevity—Chanel No. 5 lasts for hours without being overpowering, leaving a soft, captivating trail. It's the perfect fragrance for any occasion, whether you're dressing up for a special event or simply want to feel refined every day. The iconic bottle itself is also a beautiful addition to any vanity.”

“It wasn't a love at first smell so took me a while to appreciate the cult status of this perfume. Finally purchased when Boots had a promotion on to add to my perfume collection. Disappointed with the purchase as the longevity of this perfume is none existent. I thought it may have been a bad batch so I sprayed this in Boots store and found it to be the same, you can't smell the scent on yourself ”
