Chanel No5

My eye has been on chanel no5 for years ever since I was a young teen. Due to the glamorisation and it being the most famous fragrance I instantly felt I had to own it regardless of its actual scent. 

I think the first time I smelt it I was 12 in duty free and thought it was awful, it was far too powdery therefore granny like, at the time my scent was sweet and probably from an bottle of impulse. Every time I visit duty free or a department store I smell it just to attempt to convince myself I actually do like it. But still I didn't for years. 

So last week I visited a department store and thought I WILL LIKE YOU, if Marilyn did I need to. So rather than just having a sniff and wandering off I actually sprayed it on my skin to see how it develops and what notes arise after time. As I have never actually worn it I didn't know what to expect to feel.

It provided me with a warming hug like feeling and wasn't actually granny-ish as I thought. It was actually quite nice, almost honey smelling? Over time it becomes sweeter with still the warmth, it doesn't evaporate and disappear like other fragrances. Does this mean I like it? So I decided to purchase it and try it out. I have only worn it twice and I think I'm coming round to the classic.
