"I've been wearing this perfume for many years and I know it very well. I ordered two of the 'unboxed' bottles; mistake! One was fine; one is 'off' and can't be worn. It's certainly not true Chanel No. 5. Even my old bottles don't smell this way. I was looking for a bargain so I took my chances knowing the risk going in, and I'm just passing on my personal experience here. BTW, I noticed that the prices have risen since I purchased this item only a little over a month ago. From now on I'll stick to the original, sealed, boxed, item..at these prices it's important to be careful....and smart. "

    "I just love Chanel No 5. I have been wearing it for some 20 years now and I still enjoy the moment I take that beautiful bottle in my hand and spray it on. For me it is one of life's great pleasures. I would agree it either suits you or it doesn't. I just love it and can't count how often it has been complimented, and even if it wasn't it's more about the pleasure I get from wearing it.

    "Chanel No. 5 is legendary, and deservedly so. This is a fragrance that can be worn any time, any where. I first fell in love with it in my early 20s, proving that you don't have to be "mature" to appreciate this scent. It just so happens that I was also wearing it when my husband first fell in love with me, and one of the first things he remembers about our meeting was the way my perfume smelled. I haven't worn anything else ever since. Why mess with a good thing? "

    "So nice to be able to get the real thing at a lower price through Amazon! Not having the box is no problem, since it is packaged so well that that there is no spillage. "

    "This is truly a timeless scent. I have loved it since I first remember my grandmother making it her signature fragrance. However, it is really not a floral I have been told. Instead it is labeled an "aldehyde fragrance" - not really duplicating anything in nature, but a scent in a class by itself until other aldehydes came into the picture. No wonder this was Marilyn Monroe's favorite perfume. "
