For Chanel No°5 fans, Chanel is launching a new version of the world-renowned perfume – Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere. This modern and seductive fragrance was adapted from the original Chanel N°5 by Jacques Polge.

The new version of the 'old' fragrance is lighter, fresher, softer, more delicate, and suitable for every-day use. Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere includes all original ingredients of N°5: rose absolute, jasmine, neroli and ylang-ylang. Ylang-ylang for this fragrance comes from the Comoro Islands, and Jasmine from Chanel-owned fields in Grasse. The face on the ad is again Nicole Kidman.

Chanel No°5 Eau Premiere comes in 150ml bottle (US$125) and will be available at department stores and other Chanel retailers in October 2007. Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere is a new fragrance and it was introduced in 2007.

I like this "lighter version" of classical Chanel N 5, which is often perceived as heavy perfume.
Here I like very tender rose, but it is more notable, than in classical perfume. Aldehydes are still in a considerable quantity, but they are presented in abstract-background style, without struggling for superiority. The base is softer. Very pleasant light perfume. Sillage is very good, but better on fabric.
I have noticed that during last year, since I'm living far from a city-smog, my nose became "keener" and I don't like anymore very strong perfumes. For the moment Eau Premiere is more desired and suitable to me, than classical Chanel N 5.

There's something in a few Chanel fragrances that has a sweaty note on my skin. I really tried to find out the beauty and complexity of Eau Premiere, but that sweaty smell, arising from the powdery flowers, killed my poor nose...

Such a pretty, comfortable and modern fragrance. I have never get along well with it´s big sister Chanel No 5. But Eau Premiere I liked at the first sniff. It is strong, but not that burst of suffocating aldehydes as in the original. Eau Premiere remind me of Frederic Malle´s Iris Poudre in its creamy, fluffy and powdery floral burst. At the same time there is something crispy and intriguing in Eau Premiere.
I think it is good for both day- and nighttime wear, a little depending on what kind of person you are offcourse. It is really classy yet modern, easy and strong at the same time.
The price however is kind of high for what you get, It is really good but I find it not so longlasting and for that price I think that is litte to ask for?

Still, it´s absolutly worth trying. I like it much better than the original Chanel No 5.

Another beautiful softer version of the original but just softer.
I love this classic perfume.

More lemony and fresh then the original.Still the original one in EDT is a fave -both Premiere and #5 EDP come on very strong, though in a Premiere the sharp note fades away faster.

Sometimes updating golden oldie works (this does!) and sometimes it doesnt: Tom Fords version of "Youth Dew" (still stinks, sorry)

It is very fresh, perfect for day wear.

I am sorry to all those lovers of Chanel No.5, but I have never liked it, and I don't think I will ever like it.

For me, it's feminine in all the wrong ways. I don't envisage strength, or womanliness when I smell it - I envisage a little femme-fatale gasping for breath under a tight corset while holding onto men for support. It makes me feel frail, and forget my self-esteem and confidence.

Maybe I'm overdoing it on the feminist thing - a lot of women, I know, would disagree with me. I can understand how some women think it is very feminine - but that is not my definition of femininity. I identify with the femininity of Shalimar, or even Anais Anais...

My mother had a bottle of No 5 perfume in the bathroom which I adored as a little girl. Now, as a grown up woman I have tested No 5 from time to time but it is too intense for me and It smells "old". Anyway, when I found EAU PREMIEREI was really happy. I love the fresh scent, For me it is the perfect day perfume when I want something fresh and not to sweet. The fragrance is at its best after 20 minutes. I wish that more of the freshness would linger a little longer to mingle with the long lasting sweetness.

(Sorry to all No. 5 lovers) I'm not a friend of the EdP. BUT this one is definitely more wearable. It's not as strict and "classic" -it has even got sweet notes that remind me of Chanel Chance and Miss Dior Cherie a bit. And of course, it's not as concentrated which makes it easier to wear every day. I could imagine wearing it myself (!)
Some kind of "mainstream - notes" were added to the typical No. 5 - maybe in order to reach even more women.

The one I tried N5 eau premiere, light version, contained comletely colourless, crystal clear liquid, and this one in picture yellowish..was there another reformulation of N5 eau premiere launched in 2008? Though everything else looks the same.

ok. The Scent, now. Very citrucy. The part I liked most was the first 5 to 10 minutes, when I still could detect some 'original' N5 developing under the, layer of lemons. Which was truly more contemporary, but together I liked it more. In first minutes there's still something floral present in smell, but later, everything is killed off and completely overpowered by citrucy notes, what spoiled the fragrance itself for me. Though perhaps there are people who are looking for those sort of scents.. well, if I had to compare it, this one is better for sure than Goutal's Eau d'Hadrien citruses,but I am not interested in any of those

My friend just said (upon sniffing the Eau premiere): "When I want a good white wine, I don't order vino spumante". To her, the updated version of the great classic smells like a dilution and is not worth the money.
I for my part like the fresh approach to No. 5. It doesn't seem to be the result of all sorts of terrible chemical wizadry, but Polge, le nez behind it, sticked to the Chanel approach of selling quality products only. The new Eau gives me the feeling of smelling some dewy, freshly gathered flowers which open their petals to reveal their unrivalled delicate aroma -it's a bit like revisting an old realtionship in your mind and discovering that you are still in love. In the final analysis, I find it a very nostalgic and yet innovative scent, a fragrance of subtle elegance which speaks to the young and the mature and inspires me with a certain joie de vivre. Charming, even the "vino-spumante-aspect" of it!

Fine smell. I don't know, if it's possible to call Chanel Premiere: "modern version Chanel 5", because Chanel 5 there is and always will be modern. Chanel Premiere is easiest, more nice, more girlish, more green. It remember in note of base - Prada Infusion. Premiere is very elegant. I don't know else, if I will buy it, because this fragrance is a bit cool and create distance as its great, beauty, famous mother. Surely I will Premiere else test.

Chanel 5 Eau Première is absolutely wonderful! Take classic Chanel 5 and mix it (or layer it) with Lorenzo Villoresi's Teint de Neige. What you'll get is something quite similar to Eau Premiere.
It's Chanel 5 but much more powdery and less soapy. There is soft vanilla in the basenotes, which gives a sweeter face to Chanel 5.
I think it will be a complete success among those which like Chanel 5 but wish it was "younger".

I had it once when I was 19,still in college..it was a present from my aunt.actually, it was the first of my fashionable perfume :))) I really love the sweet,elegant,sophisticated smell.I like to wear it at night.I used to displayed it next to my rent roon window,even when the bottle almost empty .until then I gone home for holyday, I didn't bring it with me,coz I thought the bottle it's too big 4 me to carry.next month later, I came back, my room is full fragrant,n I saw the pieces of my lovely chanel no.5,which was thrown by hard wind from window while I was gone..huhuhu.. well..there gone my fav fragance :( but I do wish someday I will have 1 again :p

yes this is defintely one of my favorites. A mature, elegant & sophisticated scent that IMO can be easily used casually. On me it smelt lightly floral, totally wearable.

Oh, my bad! I didn't realize this page was for the new reformulated version.

I cannot understand why people love this fragrance so much. Today, I gave away yet another bottle of Chanel No. 5, given to me by my mother. The person I gave it to sprayed it on her wrist, sniffed, and exclaimed, "Ooh! I love it!" I sniffed it, and on her, it smells rather floral. The same bottle sprayed on myself gives off a smell that just makes me wanna puke. Chanel No. 5 is not for me. Give me Halston Couture, or give me nothing at all.

This is definitely classic. I would classify more of a night fragrance than a day fragrance, although that certainly never stopped me from wearing it in the day. At night, I would spray directly on me, whereas, in the day, I would walk into the mist I sprayed directly in front of me.
