Chanel No 5

Hi lovely members! I see that super delicious scents are always shared here, but did you know that not every scent smells the same with everyone? This is due to the acidity (pH value) of the skin. Normal skin has a pH value of about 5.5, on the other hand, dry skin has a somewhat lower pH value and oily skin a bit higher. During menstruation and during pregnancy, this can still fluctuate, so that a smell suddenly can't smell good while it normally does that on your skin. Temperature, humidity and the air conditioning can also change a smell. As a result, people recommend always asking for a taste and trying out a number of days in your daily life. A perfume consists of: top notes, heart notes and base notes. Top note: First, you mainly smell the perfume and the top notes of a perfume. This is often a smell that is very strong and present, but also quickly flies. Heart note: After 10 minutes to an hour, the fragrance reaches the heart note of the perfume. This is the scent that you keep smelling for the rest of the day until the scent flies. So wear a scent on your skin for 10 minutes to an hour to make sure you like it enough to buy the full-size variant. Base note: The base notes are often the sweet and sensual scents that give the perfume character. These often hang in your clothes. How to apply a perfume : Spray the perfume where you can see or feel your heart beat. These include, for example, your wrists, inside of your elbows, your knee cavities, your neck and décolleté. These spots get warm first so that they will spread the scent faster. Keep the vial about 15 to 20cm away or spray some perfume in the air and walk through it for a more subtle scent. I hope you have some use to this info. 😊 Good luck!

A classic but a heavy perfume. If you suffer from headaches or migraines quickly, I would not recommend this perfume.

Even though everyone thinks it's an “old wives fragrance.” I love it!
