Chanel No. 5 L'Eau



Today Chanel launched their new No. 5 flanker - Chanel No. 5 L'Eau and I'm wearing it.

This is a reworked, modern interpretation of the original and is aimed at the younger market.

The scent is fresh and has lashings of citrus and of course No. 5's infamous layer of aldehyde. The flowers remain true to the original with rose, ylang ylang and jasmine but they seem fresher, perkier and lively. The dry down is laced with cedarwood and musk and the overall effect is very pleasant.

I do enjoy wearing both the original No. 5 and it's first flanker Eau Premiere, but the younger me (the one without wrinkles and the odd grey hair) would enjoy L'Eau just as happily.
