Is Chanel No 5 Still Good? - Reviewing My Fragrances

Chanel No 5 has a reputation. Actually she has a few reputations depending on who you ask. One person might say she's old fashioned, only for grandmas, another will say she's a classic perfume that has stood the test of time, either way since her birth in 1921 she's been starting conversations and getting attention. How do I feel about her in 2026? Watch to find out!
About me - I'm Claire and I live in the UK. My taste in perfumes is usually quite sweet but not too sweet, I love white florals but not tuberose so much. I like gourmands as long as they smell like perfumes still, I require my perfumes to change a little bit as I wear them ie not linear. I don't enjoy oud, leather, cumin, saffron or strong patchouli however there can be occasions where I do like perfumes with these notes if they are not too dominant. I enjoy most florals as long as they are backed up with something sweet or perhaps resins / incense. I tend to not enjoy anything very soapy. I also don't really enjoy very green fragrances. I am averse to overdoses of ambroxan and iso E super (timbersilk or similar) just because I find it annoying! I have no problem with synthetics in perfumery but I do enjoy perfumes that have some notes that at least smell like they could be from nature. My favourite type of perfumery is indie and I love Francesca Bianchi, Teone Reinthal, 4160 Tuesdays and Papillon Artisan Perfumes.

Apart from Coco Madamoiselle and Coco Noir, the rest of the Chanel DNA just doesn't vibe with my skin anymore and I don't know why.
Chanel No 19 Extrait still smells amazing on my skin, the the EDP AND EDT smell rank on me 😂
It's a shame as I wore Cristalle and No 19 for years. Maybe it's the menopause but the Coco collections smell incredible on me.
I don't care what people think, I must always have a bottle. I tried it from different years and love them all
The older versions are more challenging for " younger noses"😂 but I don't care.
