My first encounter with "N°5 (Eau de Parfum) | Chanel" last fall was rather disappointing. The eau de parfum is certainly a masterpiece, but it wasn't mine at all. Nevertheless, I haven't forgotten it.
After the "N°5 L'Eau (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel" was recommended to me here in the forum, I finally decided to try my luck with this version - but first with a bottling for testing. Since the disappointment with No.5, I don't trust myself to make a blind buy in this case, although I haven't had any negative experiences so far - all my blind buys have hit the mark so far.
So today the bottling arrived here and, as I am, I had to test it right away.
A pleasant citrusy opening meets me and I am very pleasantly surprised - no trace of this old-fashioned stiffness and the aldehydes that overwhelm everything - on the contrary.... The citrusy notes are pleasantly restrained and very natural. This pungent which is so typical for
so typical of the EdP is totally absent here and the heart note develops beautifully soft and creamy. Rose and jasmine are very slightly perceptible and after 4 hours, a restrained but still easily perceptible musk is added.
I dare to wear 2 or 3 spritzes tomorrow at work in the kindergarten and am already very curious about the reaction of the children and my colleagues.
For my part, I can do a lot more with the "N°5 L'Eau (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel" than with the EdP and have found my version of this classic that will accompany me in the future.

Incidentally, I also gave my mom a test spray and she is so enthusiastic that I decided to give her this great fragrance, which suits her perfectly, because despite her 74 years, my mom is a very lively, young-at-heart and cheerful woman - just like "N°5 L'Eau (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel"

The beauty of it is that "N°5 L'Eau (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel" knows no age and can be worn by both my mom and me without looking inappropriate.
Thank you "N°5 L'Eau (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel" for being such a timeless classic!!! I have finally found you!

Now that spring is slowly approaching, I was looking for an unobtrusive, natural, fresh everyday companion that I can also wear very well both at work in kindergarten and to go out and I think - no, I'm sure - I've finally found it with this great fragrance.

As soon as I spray it on, I am enveloped in a fine, elegant scent of roses. It reminds me so much of my favorite rose "Louise Odier", a dark pink historic climbing rose from 1851, which I planted in our garden 3 years ago. And since then, its beguilingly beautiful fragrance and large, double
Flowers reliably fill me with joy every year in late spring from around mid-May, whenever I'm sitting in my beach chair on the terrace or in the garden. On warm days, their fragrance is clearly perceptible from 5 meters away.

"Aqua Allegoria Forte Rosa Rossa | Guerlain" smells exactly as if Guerlain had succeeded in capturing the scent of Louise Odier and I am very happy about that.

Actually, I only notice the rose, I don't smell any of the other components.
The longevity is remarkable with more than eight hours for me!!!
The decision for "Aqua Allegoria Forte Rosa Rossa | Guerlain" was absolutely right and I don't regret it at all, because the beautiful bottle also looks great and couldn't have been better chosen.
Top fragrance! Highly recommended for all rose lovers!!!

Today I got to know this fragrance for the first time, which I've been looking forward to for days and I can't understand why it gets such a bad rap here.

The bottle is beautiful with the black bow and the cream-colored lid in the shape of a rose blossom.

But the fragrance itself also has a lot to offer.
It starts with a very pleasant, slightly tart freshness, but as I've never smelled a papaya blossom and a bitter orange leaf before, I can't say whether this freshness comes from this.
However, I can clearly attribute the refreshing heart note to the white flowers, which are very harmoniously combined and smell very classy and elegant.

When the fragrance becomes close to the skin after about 4 to 5 hours, I perceive a fine, creamy musk - cashmeran note that goes absolutely perfectly with the rest of the fragrance and gives me a hint of spring

The longevity is great for such a light fragrance, by the way, I sprayed it on for the first time at half past three and I can still smell it well.

I love my new perfume and would like to take this opportunity to thank the lovely @Gschpusi, to whom I owe this great fragrance.

For me, it is definitely a refreshing, unobtrusive, elegant everyday fragrance that will definitely accompany me more often in the coming warm season, both at my work in kindergarten and when I go out.

I had a sample of this eau de toilette in my Secret Santa package. I was blown away the first time I tried it and absolutely had to have more. Shortly afterwards, I found this fragrance here in the souk in a pretty and absolutely matching bee bottle and so it moved in here.
Such a beautiful, sparkling, lively violet fragrance - a little old-fashioned, but by no means old or only suitable for old ladies. On the contrary: it's precisely this old-fashioned quality that makes it so special to me and I love it so much!!!
I'm downright addicted to it and can't live without it, even if it doesn't necessarily suit winter now - sometimes I secretly treat myself to a spritz of it.

As far as the fragrance progression is concerned, I generally perceive the violet most strongly.
At the beginning, the citrus fruits and the red berries flash up very briefly and give the whole thing its liveliness. But then comes a veritable violet invasion, which lasts until the end of the fragrance's course and becomes close to the body after about 8 hours and then slowly disappears. For an eau de toilette, it is incredibly strong.
Longevity and sillage are top, but what impressed me most was this wonderfully old-fashioned fragrance composition.
One or two spritzes are enough to keep me smelling good all day long.
I can say with a clear conscience that for me "Insolence (Eau de Toilette) | Guerlain" is the absolute highlight of my collection!!!

I got to know this fragrance as one of many samples in my Secret Santa package. I don't know exactly what I expected from this perfume when I sprayed it on for the first time.
I used to have a perfume as a teenager in which musk was the main ingredient and liked it a lot, but it was very sweet and I remember some people turning up their noses when I wore it. Maybe that's why I was secretly expecting something very sweet again.
Nothing had prepared me for what really awaited me: a beautiful, clean and creamy scent, unsweet but not unpleasant. Adult but not serious. Sexy but not suggestive.
This beautiful perfume enveloped me like a gentle embrace. It has such an elegant, feminine - innocent note - just great!!!

Fortunately, I got a 50ml bottle from my mom for Christmas and she made me very happy with it.
Thank you so much, mom, for this great fragrance and many thanks to dear @Lumiketto, who introduced me to this great fragrance with this little sample in the Secret Santa package.
