Chanel N°5 Elixir Sensuel by Chanel

Shyn's Release

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!
