Scent Description:

CHANEL NO 5 EDT (Note: this was is an authentic refill bottle from Chanel, but I don't have the case anymore, see other pics) opens with a sparkling burst of waxy aldehydes and ylang-ylang, creating a chilled, "expensive soap" effect. The heart is a powdery, elegant bouquet of May rose and iris, while the dry down is famous for its "warm skin" depth—featuring creamy sandalwood and an animalic civet note. It smells like "sparkling suede" and luxury face powder.
