Does the Chanel lover wear a Chanel fragrance?

[Strep2031]

I don’t wear any Chanel fragrances. There are dozens and dozens of other fragrances that smell better than what Chanel has to offer.

No for me. I get headaches from most of the Chanel fragrances for some odd reason. Mom has Coco and another one that came out a few years ago. I like the Chance - the pink one, but not enough to pull the trigger.

I’m really into perfumes (mostly niche ones), but I can’t stand Chanel fragrances at all.

No.5 L’eau is my fav!

I am a Chanel bag obsessive but not Chanel fragrance.

My favorites so far are Coco Mademoiselle edp, Cristalle edp and Beige.

Love the thread! I’m Chanel obsessed but cannot find a fragrance I like enough to wear. I feel like fragrance and beauty needs to be brought in line with some of the other brands out there - make up has improved but they can certainly do better

I like Gabrielle and Chance eau Tendre. I generally prefer to shop fragrances from more under the radar brands, so I was pleasantly surprised these two caught my attention.

I really like Chanel 1932 from the Les Exclusifs collection. It has a very pretty yet sophisticated scent. I love the nostalgia of No.5 bc like some others on here, my mom also wore it when she went out but I find it just isn't for me although I really like the scent in general. (I do have one of their little hand lotion "eggs" in No. 5 which is fun for every once in a while). I also liked Gabrielle as an everyday fragrance.

I used to wear coco long time ago, I find it too sweet and young for me. I like spicier fragrances with more depths. My favorite currently is LV Ombré Nomad.

1932 for fall/winter

Paris Paris/Riviera for spring/summer

I have been wearing No. 5 for decades. I bought my first bottle duty free when I was 16 along with a string of pearls - my Chanel obsession is long and strong I saved up for a year to afford both on a trip to Europe from Sydney with my parents waaaaay back in time.

I love Chanel bags, clothes, shoes, and makeup but cannot stand the perfumes on myself!
I usually wear Tom Ford but I am interested in trying the Coromandel.

 

[fightdirrty]

I've tried, but I just don't enjoy any of their scents.

My mother loved Chanel No. 5 and owned almost every scent. I myself use Coco Madamoiselle Intense every single day! I had a gentleman come up to me at the airport and tell me I smelled like his ex! Lol

I’m not much for perfume (I enjoy it & colognes on others, but only daub a bit on for special occasions); however, the perfume I’ve got the most compliments on is Coco Mademoiselle. Just. You know. The basic one. I had a friend who was a former ballerina with a vanity-table of exquisite luxe fragrance bottles that was like a curated art exhibit, very old glamour, something Villanelle off Killing Eve would envy, and she swore up and down to me that the one scent that earned her compliments by strangers without fail was Coco Mademoiselle. Besides clean-scented Korean skincare, YSL lipgloss & pleasantly scented but not overwhelming shampoos, this is also the scent that people seem to zero in on for random compliments! Maybe it works with a wide range of people’s biochemistry. I’ve no clue. (My other standby is Guerlain’s Vol de Nuit, but that is somewhat spicy. I am hardly a perfume collector, merely an appreciator; I enjoyed reading this thread )
Edit: I would love to love Tom Ford! I see a sampling trip in my future. An acquaintance always smells so nice and it’s invariably one of his Tom Ford collex
