Elegance is a steel bath
Completely contrary to the fashion line of the company which has got a clear twist by Lagerfeld towards punk and has made itself popular with the young audience, the No 5 is modernized in the sense of the inventor and has kept its classic, elegant appearance, so I hear anyway.
When I had it new, I "shared" it with a friend and my mother, so to speak, and up and down the country, the eau was praised enthusiastically: Flowery, fresh, powdery, noble, elegant, classic, feminine, incomparable, not to be sated, suitable for around the clock, the office, the first date, the theatre, a fantastic, unsurpassable fragrance.
By the way, these storms of enthusiasm came almost exclusively from women. As if he would embody something that almost all women want to radiate - self-confidence and a sense of style presumably.
Eau Premiere sometimes had quite strange effects on the wearers: My girlfriend for example, until then rather from the leather jackets&Boots Fraktion suddenly walked around with a trench coat and a plain light leather bag and tried French Manicure. And my mother had me sew piles of black longsleeves with inserted white shirt collars and cuffs which always had to be worn with Eau Premiere. Surely the name (CHANEL!) contributed a lot to this change of mind, but it was not the decisive point at all.
The first prophecies of doom came from the guys my girlfriend and I had a relationship with. They found the scent old-fashioned, bland, penetrating and absolutely unsexy. Probably it was too perfumed for them, perhaps they also disturbed the aldehydes and the often described soapiness. And I'm sure she was disturbed by what this fragrance expresses. Elegance and understatement were not their thing and under eroticism they imagined fishnet pantyhose, suspenders, tube jeans with boots or hotpants but certainly no silk blouses and trench coats.
And then it happened:
My mother and my girlfriend were tired of the Eau premiere almost overnight: they couldn't stand it anymore and found it exhausting. At the same time, the nude nails and the penchant for selected elegant clothing disappeared, which had to be worn at home until late at night.
What happened?
Perfect elegance is something wonderful. Whenever I see a woman with a full-day perfectly lying short hairstyle or an artistically attached chignon, in a perfectly pale blue crease-free silk blouse that perfectly fits the at least almost perfect figure, in addition a pencil skirt and a casually blowing trench coat - not to forget perfect make-up and perfectly manicured fingernails - then I stop and marvel and swarm.
Elegance as a consistent lifestyle is also something very rare. I think you can see if someone has styled themselves for an event or is on the move every day.
And last but not least (Chanel once said so similarly) elegance is something timeless: Individual accessories may change, a certain attitude, a certain basic style seem to remain. And so No 5 became No 5 Eau Premiere.
BUT: For myself I find elegance a steel bath and I have the impression that I am not alone with it. There are girls who insist as children on being schooled completely in white lace, but forget themselves after the first piece of cake and come back in the evening - as if all the big ones had not suspected it - with torn tights, mud on their dress and leaves in their hair. These girls may then grow up to be women who lay down trench coats and eau premieres to realize after 3 months that this ensemble is not made for their everyday life.
Just as this fragrance gives posture, so it demands it. In the long run he may be too much for robber princesses, even if they find themselves in his self-confidence and determination for the time being.
Which - in the end - doesn't change the fact that a very large perfume was successfully modernised here.
