I keep coming back to this one every year during the winter, it just feels right. Majestic,elegant, stabilizing, confident, smooth and comforting all at once. It's a little bit tighter construct than regular Chanel No 5, which was my signature scent in highschool (a long long time ago). This is more of the night out on the town version. Always classy, this is a scent for a true lady who is always appropriately attired, yet alluring and seductive.

Gorgeous, Classy, alluring, sexy, mysterious, slightly glamorous, enchanting, mezmorizing, addictive. ooooh my my my Sensual Elixir is magic in a bottle.

My only complaints are the lasting power, the sillage, and I feel it needs a bit more aldahydes.

I've been layering this with Chanel no5 Eau Premier. I would love it if I could just bottle and mix the two. Then it would be perfect. I'm wondering if then tho it might smell more like the original pure or edp..lol

All these chanel no5's confuse me. I'm currently trying to get my hands on some vintage pure form and edp and do some side by side comparison to find the perfect one for me.

I am a newly born no5 Lover and I couldn't be happier. I understand this scent now (I think it brilliant) What I do know is that I love sensual elixer..I did not like the new EDT and I very much like Eau Premier.. I think premier tho , lacks the iris / orris root, I do still like the premier however... I think it's a fantastic summertime version . Then I took a look at the notes for the edp.. and seems like yes.. that may be the one I'm looking for. So annoying really

I hate this one, all I can smell is rose rose rose and cheap soap. Well I gave it to my sister-problem solved. It was a waste of my money.I love Allure.

I adore ylang ylang, orris and jasmine. This is my favourite version through years of parfum, edT, EdP.... This is silk taffeta, creamy with a "rustle". You have to experience the ritual and dab it on, no instant gratification "spritz". I love this Fall into Winter. With a light hand it is office friendly and for evening and an outing to see the Nutcracker Suite in December. I believe each woman wears it differently to make it her own.

Ah...

A blossom laden bitter orange tree grove flourishing around a frozen lake. I love the seasonal contradiction of Elixir Sensuel's gobsmackingly gorgeous opening.

Everything about CN5 ES works from the immaculate presentation to the quaint glass stopper used to administer the runny honey that is Elixir Sensuel.

One drop to the wrists and my world becomes a tranquil paradise.

This sensual elixir warms up into familiar territory by becoming a bouncier version of my beloved CN5 EDP. ES has loads of naturally occurring youthful collagen plumping up her cheeks to CN5 EDP's somewhat sallow expression. In no way am I belittling CN5 (OMG that would be downright sacrilege - burn me at the stake RIGHT NOW!) no no no. My nose simply recognises the glamorous CN5 heart.

Elixir Sensuel honours the tradition impeccably. She is slightly more curvaceous in her portrayal and her curves create a warmth unique to her expression.

Between the original No.5, Eau Premiere and this, this one is definitely my favourite. The orris, musk and ylang ylang come out beautifully on my skin, with a hint of a mildly soapy jasmine, making it soft and creamy. This seems less like a typical Chanel to me, but I think this is because the aldehydes are so muted. I think this would be a very lovely and inoffensive day time scent.

lovely!! but everybody tells me that it lasts longer than chanel 5 edt, the spray , i don;t seem to smell it at all. it doesn;t spread the scent. i know a perfume should't be invasive, because it can be vulgar...but still...

Ooohhhhhh, this smells soooo good! Pretty, lightly sweet, a smidgen powdery, petite fresh and lovely, an so very, very feminine. The previous reviews used some good adjectives to describe the Elixir Sensuel: Comforting, Luxurious, Stunning!
When I bought this at the store I was ooh'ing and awe'ing so much that one sales woman accross the floor yelled over to me "The Elixir is my favorite too!" And the other sales woman who was waiting on me said "YES! I love the Elixir too and so does my husband." We were all happy ladies that day and enjoying ourselves.
This version is so much nicer than the spray version. If you want to like Chanel #5, then try the Elixir Sensuel and expand from there.

This is luxurious! This is how you and your perfume become one. If only all fumes could be made in this form.

It doesn't overwhelm you upon application like a spray. It's like a seduction... it's soft touch caresses you and then hugs onto your skin. This version of No.5 is to die for. And for those of you who don't find the spray wearable... this elixir is for you!

I find this so much wearable than the EdP. It goes really well with my skin chemistry. I can actually smell the perfume, and not a blast of aldehydes, as in the EdP. It still is soapy, but in a good, fresh,clean and sweet way. I cannot detect any specific flowers though, but I love it.I've been wearing ES with the No. 5 body lotion, and I alternate it with Eau Premiere/body lotion. I think both combinations are wonderfull.I prefer these 2 combinations to the No. 5 EdP.

One of my personal favorites. All the fragrance notes are present at once. Lasts longer and those notes I find less than desirable on their own blend wonderfully. A floral, classic, femmine
fragrance.

This is softer than the original much more wearable it is a gel fragrance that isn't sticky on the skin.But it doesn't interest me I guess No.5 isn't for me.

Agree it lasts better than the original. I bought it while travelling last year but broke the bottle and had beautiful smelling luggage for a long time. I hope to buy it again some time.

I love No. 5, especially EdT, so sensual and clean, lasting and comforting, although aldehydes are highlighted (what I like) but not here. And I like the whole story about the famous perfume.
Elixir Sensuel is little soapy, but very soft. Applied in drops also very feminine. Once upon a time perfumes were kept in small bottles and sparingly used. Less is more and Elixir is a great way to learn how many drops is enough for full enjoyment.
Elixir Sensuel is so small and practical for any purse, it might be convenient in natural spray, but I like this way. Slightly different from the famous No.5 (EdT or EdP), in dry-down maybe less clean and sharp, but it is Chanel, authentic and quite different from other brands.
Sometimes I'm not sure whether it is unisex, as it can be feminine and/or men's cologne, but no doubt with Chanel, the female fragrance will be worn only by women. Incredibly longlasting and impressive, the perfect choice for an elegant evening out.

This is my fave version of No. 5. It wear so well and the powdery note is very dominant. Much younger with a provocative side. Highly recommend!

I find this formulation wears better on my skin than the original alcohol based version as it brings out the ylang ylang/rose accents more. Bought it on a trip to NY one Christmas so the smell always transports me back there!
