It's not about underlining your gender
So.
The stigma around No5 is.. its marketed to women.
I was kinda concerned about that when I blind bought this. What if somebody smells this and it smells feminine?
Upon the first spray, I was no longer concerned. If you tried 1725 by HDP or Chanel Allure Homme, and you think those fragrances are wearable by a straight dude, there is no way you can think of this as a feminine only fragrance.
When Brad Pitt became the face of No5 few years ago, it seems to be confusing. And too bad Chanel canceled that whole campaign.
IMO, Chanel No5 is really one of the most luxurious soapy smell I've ever experienced. The EDT especially is beautiful.
In comparison, the EDP is more vulgar, with that incredibly lush and full ylang-ylang. But the EDT is more soulful, soft, and soapy.
Yes, as a 22-year old I can confidently wear this without feeling self-conscious. In fact, I think us men would actually turn more heads with this one. If anyone can recognize this scent by name, you will not be forgotten.
Gentlemen, let's not be bound by macho insecurities anymore and enjoy this beauty of a scent.
PS: Some short comparisons
vs DHI= 5 is less sweet and more floral
vs Allure Homme line= 5 is less sweet and more floral
vs 1725 by HDP= 5 is less sweet and more floral
Seriously, if you don't mind florals, please go rock this

I didn't believe in, for this experience myself. cost me to catch a man for an experiment, he ran away with the words "that's women's scent"; but in the end I managed to see how Chanel N5 is on the man )).
I liked it and it didn't smell like the ladies fragrance.The man himself did not like it.
I have read about this property of Chanel (that it can look very nice on a man) and wanted to see if it's true
