What’s your favourite Chanel perfume

On the back of the current thread re signature scents, I’m interested in people’s favourite Chanel fragrance. I have a bottle of Coco mademoiselle I wear on a night out but I’d like to try another of the Chanel perfume range.

Sycomore

Bois des Iles. It’s a glorious sandalwood. Like NorthernGravy, I wish I’d bought another bottle when it was cheaper.

La Pausa, but I can't afford £200 a bottle so get by on occasional samples purchased on eBay

Flooopers · 20/07/2019 20:35

The original Chance. It's been a favourite for 10+ years but I am beginning to feel a bit old for it now at 33

Ummmmm..... Confused

I love No. 5 so much but I’m aware that it’s so evocative for some people and others just find it utterly grim that I never have the guts to wear it.

Wear it!

The streets are filled with monsters drenched in Angel without a regard for anyone else's olfactory organs!

I love Coco mademoiselle on other people but it just doesn’t smell on me at all, completely evaporates, I know youre not supposed to be able to smell your own perfume but lots of people have confirmed they can’t detect it on me, it’s strange because it’s a powerful scent and very distinctive.

ANiceLuxury · 20/07/2019 20:47

I’ve just purchased 1957 and beige.

I ve had mademoiselle, coco, Gabrielle and the pink chance.

I honestly couldn’t pick a favourite

Beebumble2 · 20/07/2019 20:48

No5 every time.

ANiceLuxury · 20/07/2019 20:49

The only time my perfume gets commented on is when I wear the coco one

MercedesDeMonteChristo · 20/07/2019 20:50

I love coco mademoiselle and Allure.

Tweetingmagpie · 20/07/2019 20:53

I have coco noir and I always get compliments, but madamoiselle is my favourite.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 20/07/2019 20:56

Coco Mademoiselle is my favourite but I also really like Gabrielle.

whiteroseredrose · 20/07/2019 20:58

Allure. But I use an Eden perfumes version of it now as it's cruelty free.

HalfManHalfLabrador · 20/07/2019 21:07

Allure and I love the men’s version too

Bezalelle · 20/07/2019 21:11

Misia. Smells like Parma violets!

BizzzzyBee · 20/07/2019 21:32

I love Allure. It’s the only perfume I’ve ever worn that’s made people approach me to ask what it is.

donutrehomer · 20/07/2019 21:34

I have Allure, No5 and No 19.

Flooopers · 20/07/2019 21:35

One sniff of allure and I'm back in 2001, desperately in love with an oh so sexy but so bad for me ex! Perfume is one hell of a time machine! Grin

happygiraffey · 20/07/2019 21:41

Chance, coco mademoiselle and Paris - Venise

pk78 · 20/07/2019 21:44
