# Chanel - N°5  The famous *N°5* by Chanel. Does it live up to its praise? I do not think so. The very strong smell of aldehydes, too strong actually, displeased me a lot at first. When it finally faded away, after one or two hours, I was left with only a light floral scent; what a disappointment!. *With a picture: a bouquet of flowers sprayed with alcohol and left dying in the spotlight.*
