N°5 Parfum

A timeless classic for me—always has been and always will be. There is something undeniably warm and elegant about it, a softness that stays close to the skin without ever feeling the need to raise its voice. Instead of shouting for attention, it speaks in delicate whispers, wrapping me in an aura that is both intimate and deeply refined. With its cozy yet quietly powerful embrace, it gives me a sense of confidence and poise, the kind that makes me feel prepared, put‑together, and effortlessly elegant throughout the day. It has become one of those rare fragrances that elevate not only how I smell, but how I carry myself. An absolute must‑have on my shelf, and a scent I will continue to treasure for years to come.

This feels like a slap in the face. I wanted to like it. But no. It's too aldehydic, powdery, boozy, antique. The Eau version is more likeable. Skip this. It lasts long, and has great sillage, but the scent is repulsive. If this should be considered for its historical value and whatever, put it on a shelf in a museum, but don't wear this behind your ears and expect people to be pleased with your fragrance. Let's not fool ourselves, One of the biggest lies I've been told as a kid is that this perfume was sexy and glamurous. The Marillyn Monroe myth was not even true. I would rather spray gasoline on my neck than this. (Please sorry for being so mean).

I’ll be completely honest… I blind‑bought this perfume purely because of the hype. Everyone online made it sound like a masterpiece, so I convinced myself it had to be amazing. But the moment I sprayed it, my heart just sank. It was way too much for me — super powdery, sharp, and almost harsh to the point where it felt overwhelming. I remember thinking, “Oh no… what have I done?” It was honestly horrendous on my skin. I can see it working for people who enjoy darker, stronger, more mature scents, but it was absolutely not my vibe. I bought it back in 2022, and after that first try, I barely touched it again. It’s been sitting in my cupboard for four years now, untouched, like a reminder of one of my most disappointing blind buys. i must say pls try on skin not on paper when u teat it...
