    Dear Lanier! What can I say! WONDERFUL! Thank you for the loving shoutout! The new environment... The new home... the one and only CHANEL N°5 PARFUM to inaugurate the new life surroundings! There couldn't have been a better champagne to to celebrate the move to the new place than CHANEL N°5 PARFUM :) Magical! Just magical! I hope you are happy in your new city and home! By the way now you are so close to Tin Peaks ;) Well.. I know it doesn't really exist but the locations they filmed in is nearby! Such energy in the air! Cloudy but energetic ;) Also, can't wait to see what this new chapter in your life beholds for you and how it will all unfold and blossom through your channel!

I love the music, the artistic filming, the power of your words and of course, your cocktail making! It's a sensory buffet. Thank you for sharing your beloved San Francisco with us, I truly enjoyed seeing the beautiful city through your eyes. Your lunches and shopping adventures were so much fun to watch and I loved meeting your friends (Mary is a real gem!) Thank you for all the work you put forth to bring such informational and aesthetically beautiful videos to the KZread community! It's a pleasure to watch them and I look forward to many, many more! Best of luck in your new home!

For so long I couldn’t get past the preconceptions and just everything that comes with it. I now have the edt and edp and I really think it’s time I find a way to try the pure Parfum! So so very fun learning from your videos and learning to love these master works of art and perfume!

Oddly, I have never tried the parfum, only the EdT and EdP, but must go out an snag sample. Must be super duper concentrated No 5 goodness! Mahalos!

    It is the original pure parfum. Eau Premier smells nothing like it and the EDT is pale in comparison. Like a carbon copy. The rose and jasmine in the pure parfum is from Grasse in France where as the rose and jasmine in the EDT is not. Cheers!

Now I miss it and need 19 in my collection! There are so many fans of EDT, but I'm leaning toward parfum. Which do you have experience with? Thanks a bunch!!!

    To be quite honest with you, I don't own a bottel of No.5 (yet),but I got the sample and it surprised me to the maximum.I smelled it many many years ago and in my faint memory of it and being told by many people that it's "too much" for them, I imagined it to be sickly floral fragrance , like some gladiolas can be.Even on fragrantica it is said that it's similar to Arpege by Lanvin ( that is excatly a "buquet of flowers that blooms and rotts during one day and in the end gets this old tangerine skin without a fruit kind of twist"), which is so not true.

    Dear Lanier,i must tell you how much i enjoy your video,s. I showed my girlfriend. We both love Chanel so. I too am collecting. I bought Coco after watching your video. It,s hard to say if itsa Coco day,or Chanel No. 5. I love Madmossile too,but Chanel No.5 always,and Coco. Thank you for such personable ,and wonderful video,s. Hoping you love your new home. We too moved last year. I think sometimes you just have to pick up and go. I have loved every minute. New places,new friends,and thanks to you,new Coco

    I never liked this perfume (I'm 44 years old). I sprayed it on a card today, laid it down and walked away. Something clicked in me. It stirred my soul. I went back for the card. I sprayed it on my wrist and went home. I sat on my bed with that card fanning my face. I went back for that perfume today.. I cant tell you how anxious I am to go to the Bay Area for the pure parfum. I 100% appreciate this fragrance. Everything about it. Thank you for this review, I understand every word!

    Hi what is the pure oil of N°5 like? Is there any alcohol in it as the edp and the edt? Designer presumes are nice but I find that the smell doesn't last long because of the alcohol content and it burns away the oils. I always use Arabic oils and ouds as they are 100% pure concentrated oil with no alcohol.

    Hi Ravinder. As far as I know there is no pure oil of No.5. The closest would be the Chanel No.5 pure parfum which has the smallest amount of perfumer's alcohol in it. It lasts a very long time on my skin. I hope you can test it out and see if you like its performance. Cheers!

    Hi Gina, No batch will ever smell the same from batch to batch. There will be slight variations due to the growing conditions of the ingredients. this is what makes each batch unique. Like champagne from year to year. Change is what the universe is about. We should embrace change or be left behind in the past wondering what happened to the good old days. Cheers.

    Lanier Smith hi Lanier , thanks for getting back to me ... I was just wondering if newer Chanel is a strong and lasting as previous years. However I think I may have had a few glasses of wine wen I wrote to you last ,as my question to you was a bit all over the place :) ,my apologies for that. I did get the newer bottle ( batch) of no 5 parfum and it does not last quite so well on skin but I'm not too bothered because it smells wonderful. ( Just as you knew it would) I need not have worried at all. Recently I discovered the wonderful Chanel no 19 parfum and EDP, Im really enjoying them , amazing clear notes , such beautiful iris etc . Love it ! Have a wonderful day !!

    So.. I bought a bottle of the Chanel #5 Parfum because I’d heard it can be considered “unisex”, and I like wearing a signature scent so I wanted to try this “worlds most iconic Parfum”.. I read the reviews, both the artistic ones such as this, and the ones that say it smells like an old lady’s soap. I’m sorry to say it smells like an old lady’s soap on me, and I can not smell it on me, or others I put it on, when using just 4 drops. (unless I walk around with my nose pressed to my face.) I guess I don’t have the “body chemistry” to let the Parfum express it’s iconic-ness.. it’s very iconic-less on me. I won’t be buying it again, I’ll stick with my YSL.

    Just found a bottle of Chanel No 5 Extrait Parfum 201 . The 201 is the size . 1 oz. It has no barcodes , so I am assuming it's before 1989. I can smell it through the box though. The box is unopened. Tomorrow, I am going down to have it opened. I'm going to have to cut the label on the box that's inside of the sleeve. It's in pristine condition. The women who is selling it got it from a private sale. She sells antiques. Little worried about leakage. Even though para film is gas permeable , I'm still bringing it to wrap it to stop the fragrance from getting out. Lanier , it's so amazing . It's gotta have ambergris or something like civet in it. Animalic , but so smooth. I'm so nervous about opening it up. I did offer her $200. She accepted it. When she showed it to me , I told her she should look it up before giving me a price for it. Her eyes bugged out when she saw what it was selling for. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Oh, wearinfg Floris's Elite. I got the discovery set , four 14 mls , for $55. Floris was having a sale. I love JF , 89 , Santal and Elite. You most likely don't remember , but you had a video about Floris , and the sale that they were having, and because of that video, I got on their mailing list. I'd like to thank you for that. Hope all is going well with you my fragrance friend.
