    What do reviewers say about Lauren and Chanel No 5 Parfum?

    This is vintage Americana at its finest. It smells like the aspirational lifestyle catalog it came from. Woody drydown is a comforting, mossy embrace.Lauren
    The aldehydes are the whole point. Most houses use them as a quiet supporting act. Chanel put them center stage, let synthetic chemistry lead instead of follow. It's not for everyone.Chanel No 5 Parfum
