Not bad at all. Its just 1/8 price from the original no 5 and smells like an old formulation. To me its a must have. Lasts on my skin even after i wash it off with water. I wonder how cheap perfume can achieve almost identical smell like this. What a cost saving. Brand is just a brand. Doesnt reflect quality sometimes.

This a pretty damn good Chanel No. 5 dupe! It is a bit more synthetic but extremely similar. Funnily enough, though, its powderiness is actually more intense than the OG during first spray, so yeah, this is totally worth getting.

I bought this before it even listed on fragrantica, I bought it last year. I was kinda intrigued because there is no proper dupe for No.5, I would say this is not exactly dupe but like 95% has the gene. As usual la rive for the performance isn't that long wearing but this is quite decent. It has the powder-vintage smell that has been the signature of No.5 without the obvious civet note from No.5 newer formula. Somehow the store I bought this from sold this a bit higher than the rest of the la rive but okay, it's still in the range of $10-ish.

This is a very good dupe of Chanel No 5. It is a lighter version than the original which makes it a bit more easy to wear for those who are just dipping their toes into the vintage perfume world. This is very powdery and soapy and has decent longevity and sillage. I do recommend this for people who are ready to embrace vintage smelling perfumes; but I am unfortunately not brave enough to take that step just yet so I will be donating my bottle of this in hopes that it finds someone that will wear it proudly.

Smells like my childhood. Both like my mom's bottle of Chanel No.5 that was at least a decade old when I first tried it on and like my dad's suede jacket with the smell of years of smoking stuck on it. Very impressive, the bottle is beautiful, heavy glass and simple enough to be "believable".
