Chanel No 5 Eau de Parfum Red Edition

Hello to my fragrantica friends I hope you all had a Happy Valentine's Day 2019. This is my review of the fabulous Chanel No 5 LIMITED EDITION Red 100ml edp. Firstly may I just say this is not the same as the original no 5 as many have stated previously. I own both bottles and did a test by spraying both perfumes and The Red Edition is more Sparkling, stronger and sexier if I may say so. There is a different note in it could be musk or vanilla the fragrance is creamy and just to die for. Buying this fragrance and adding this to your collection is very worthwhile. I have decided to use my bottle and not save it for special occasions but to enjoy it. Red was Coco Chanels favourite colour. Red is the colour of blood and fire, is associated with meanings of love, passion, desire, heat, longing, lust, sexuality, sensitivity, romance, joy, strength, leadership, courage, vigor, willpower, rage, anger, danger, malice, wrath, stress, action, vibrance, radiance, and determination. Don't just try it Buy it you will love it. The best No 5 of all time. Highly recommended. A big thumbs up from Deco Dawn.

I couldn’t resist buying this as a gift to myself! Being a limited edition! The beautiful red bottle! and also It’s an old time favourite from years ago! When it was my signature scent! Seriously I think this is gorgeous! so gorgeous in fact it makes me want to cry! Upon first spray! I know weird! Anyways I’m so happy I’ve got this baby in my collection! I plan on using only on very special occasions or when I want to indulge! But hands down this is beautiful! My sig at the moment is it’s sister Eau Première which I find an easier fragrance to wear! And also adorable! No 5 Parfum is richer heavier also more soapyer and has the most beautiful caramely/Sandlewood vanilla dry down, I also detect Incense which Isn’t listed! love all the no 5 family And I don’t care of any social stigmas that may be attached to it, eg posh, for rich people! Too stuffy! Pretentious! Too popular! Old school! It’s a classic and I love it! That’s that!<3

I finally received it in the mail! Although I paid $275 Australian dollars, it’s worth the money because the iconic perfume is in a gorgeous dark red colour and the packaging that it arrived in was extra as it was wrapped in a shiny dark red wrapping paper and tied with a Chanel cloth ribbon so it stands out in my collection. I don’t think I will be using this anytime soon as I have the original Chanel No 5 and I use that one sparingly so the red limited edition will only be eye candy for now. This bottle is definitely special and to have both the original and red bottles are worth collecting for Chanel No 5 lovers.

I’ll stop being vain and halt chasing this on eBay for the gorgeous red bottle. I’ll enjoy the OG juice in the classic bottle I have. All I received were fakes so beware. Look for asymmetry, different font, spelling mistakes on the box, cap not closing smoothly or a white ribbon on the neck. Would have loved to place it among the transparent OG, Mademoiselle with the translucent cap, and the black Coco Noir, but it’s a vain collector’s dream 😴.

This is gorgeous. If you like the original but find it too biting or sharp. Or. Too “mature” this is a unique adaptation. More floral. More woody and much more soapy. This is a woody soapy floral take. I get that great original soapy jasmine with iris and aldehyde vibes but this is more loose and soapy and much less skrrechy. Very glam. Especially in the red bottle. I much prefer this option. 100% will recommend
