N°1 de Chanel L'Eau Rouge

First of: I do understand why many people who love Chanel are somewhat baffled about this new creation. Yes it is different, yes it is not typically Chanel as usual, but as for me, - I love this so much! I have to say that I generally love descret, light perfumes, maybe because I have a very sensitive nose (no, not allergic, just a VERY good sense of smell, so I might detect scents as extremely strong which others don't even notice (which means I almost suffocate if someone around me wears bombs like Baccarat Rouge). So this scent is lovely for me because it smells expensive, papmered, expensivley bodylotioned and makeuped, or my very first association, 'it smells like the expensive bathrooms/products in the really expensive hotels I visited'. I smell some velvety, woody, makeup vibe, bodylotion, musk of the better sort, and some kind of red fruits in the background, but they are also velvety and soft, not fresh and tangy. The altogether-impression is a dimmed, velvety, soft, creamy expensive, pampered scent that is quite subtle, but it definitely is not 'not there'. If I spray it on I can smell it for at least 5-6 hours, after which it turns into a very skinny, delicious soft musk that you can only detect when you smell directly at your skin. Sprayed on clothes I can easily smell it two days later. So yes, it is an unusual Chanel creation but I am grateful as it is a scent I could easily wear every day without it ever getting on my nerves. I'd say it always gives you a feeling of being well-groomed, safe, cozy and elegant without wearing something that olfactory slaps your counterpart in the face already when you only enter the room. So, I personally love it and could imagine it could be quite liked in countries like South Korea, as two friends there told me they love it for the very same reasons as I do. So if you like subtle cozy elegance without murderous sillage, give it a try.

I have a sample and I can testify that the notes do smell very natural as they come from real natural ingredients. Absolutely love the top and middle notes! The best and most realistic berries I've smelled and usually I don't gravitate towards fruity centric perfumes but wow Chanel you mastered it here. So I smell the beautiful berries, rose, musk and lifted up by fresh citrus and an undertone of Iris to keep it classy. However...... the base is not as exciting and kind of smells like luxury wipes. What's disappointing as many indicated is the longevity. Maybe overspraying would help but I have a sample and it IS a mist after all. I need to think a bit before pouring $$$$$ on it. Way too overpriced for the juice quality but I might eventually just for how amazing the top and middle notes are. If someone knows a very similar perfume with better lasting powers then please let me know!

It's a fragrance mist and a skin care product. Not a perfume. But what a lovely skin care product it is. The rose, the berries and the citrusy sweet musk base (plus something else in the base that reads as woody to me) are very soothing together. The scent itself, or the idea of it, reminds me of Eau Dynamisante by Clarins because it has the same sophisticated, clean and natural type of appeal. Overall, it carries a spa like, clean, feminine and very well put together (if someone gets close enough) vibe. It has a relaxing and grounding effect whilst at the same time making you feel luxuriously groomed. I never want to be without it.

I think this is incredible. It truly smells like body/skincare. It reminds me of a lotion my mom put on her legs when I was a kid. It's just clean - but not in a musky (Glossier You) way things are clean smelling today. And not in a shampoo way. I don't get fruity and only a hint of powder. It smells like lotion in the way that iris scents smell like lipstick or cosmetics. It has a Nivea and Vaseline brand lotion combined smell. It wears close and is work appropriate. I get the irritation with longevity etc. but it is not marketed as an EDT or EDP. It is admittedly overpriced, but I love it.

I received a sample from Ulta.This fragrance is all about rose.Very weak sillage,so you wanna spray it on fabrics to get it noticable.The rose is nice and luxurious,but I am still thinking that if I wanted to smell of roses,I'd rather wear Miss Dior Blooming bouquet instead,at least it has a better sillage.I have enough points to get it from Ulta free of charge and still wonder if it's worth buying.It is a nice rose,it is Chanel,it has that luxurious vibe,but why it is so weak and ...expensive???I am on a fence.

I really like this scent. Yes as others say, it can smell like very expensive cosmetics. But sometimes I like that type of fragrance and it is what I want in that moment. I does smell very refined and put together. Light but definitely there. Do not confuse this with a normal body spray because it isn't at all. Maybe a little expensive for what it is, but all of Chanel is and it is because of the quality. This is different and I like that it is something different for my collection. I plan to keep it in "stock"

I freaking adore this one, it's just so juicy, fresh and floral in all the right ways but that just confirms what pretty much everyone's been saying here: it's a glorified and extremely overpriced body mist. I wish I didn't like it so much because I'm surely running out of it in a few weeks and I bet it would've been perfect for the summer. In the very unlikely event that Chanel releases an EDP version of this and it doesn't cost a fortune, I'll be the first one in line to get it.

I've just tried it in a store, and it blew my mind. It's so effortlessly Chanel, so modern and still classic, perfect for wandering around in the street, listening to Sault as a soundtrack. It is almost unisex. Ok, it's not a very strong scent but is flowery floating nectar. SO I came back to the store to buy it. For the first time, I add a Chanel fragrance to my collection. It kind of represents a vivid frantic new young Chanel customer, and so I can bite (relate to) that.

I’m on my 3rd bottle and I keep coming back to this fragrance...I don’t know how to describe it other than classically floral and feminine. It’s one of those fragrances that feels like it’s meant for a spa or aromatherapy at the same time as being perfect for a date night or just to catch someone’s attention. The fragrance lasts ALL DAY for me sometimes even into the next day depending. I will continue to keep this in my rotation as a classic clean floral famine beauty.

Yes, it's overpriced. Yes, it's pretty much just water. Yes, you'll run out of it quickly. Yes, it's insane to continuously purchase it. But it's gorgeous and paired with the Chanel Fresh Body Cream? Are you kidding me?! 😍😍😍💸💸 It's a vibe. It's a feeling. Now a days I would pay anything to lift the spirits, so to me, this is worth it. They say spend your hard earned $ on experiences, right? 🙈

One of my favorite CHANEL scents! As everyone has said, it's very expensive and the scent disappears quickly... However, I really love this scent. Soft, mellow and gentle scent of roses and fruits. I think the bright red and simple beauty of the bottle is CHANEL's aesthetic. The precious "CHANEL No.1". I feel lonely with just a body mist. I wish they would at least serve eau de toilette.

This perfume -mist is a punishment for perfume lovers. The marvelous juice, bitter berries and cosmetic roses and the beautiful bottle are exquisite- aber the abysmal staying power that, because it is just a mist, feels like air and disappear after ten minutes...is finally a sadness... I hope for a perfume exactly like this piece of art.

So many people don’t know or like this scent but it’s is my absolute favourite. It’s smells like a glass of champagne while snacking on berries and doing your makeup. It’s very berry like and musky but not sweet which I love . One of my favs and a repurchase when I run out.

Absolute love. Fell in love with the soft, clean, fresh and pleasantly powdery scent. Would have bought this if this did not fade after 10 minutes. Zero lasting power. I have body mists that last longer than this. Such a shame, this is such a lovely scent.

I bought this after I bought the face serum because I couldn’t get over how much I loved the smell. It’s now a part of my bedtime routine (yes, I’m that extra). Tbh if Chanel would bring this out in a shower gel I’d be a very, very happy woman.

Beautiful scent. Has become my new soft classic scent. Smells sophisticated and soft and clean. Like expensive makeup. It just is so comfortable to wear. I will always have this scent just like favorite lingerie

This sounds like it will be a great body mist to be worn at night or after a long workout session when you are at home relaxing. I had to order it. Can’t wait to review it on my channel.

Very classy and beautiful scent. It has a calming effect on me. Like when I spray it I instantly feel everything will be okay. Love it.

Has a bite to it. I absolutely love it. It’s very unique compared to others I have.

It's a lovely scent but lasts about 10 minutes. Not the best investment.
