Chanel N°5 Elixir Sensuel Chanel for women
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Over the years, I’ve worn and owned every iteration of Chanel No.
5 that I could get my hands on. I started with the sometimes maligned EdP (I didn’t know—it was the 80s! I was 16. There was no internet. Forget the excuses—I just loved it, and I still do). During a purist phase, I wore the parfum and nothing else. Then I discovered the joys of French-manufactured No. 5, with its richer and more floral profile I’ve also dabbled across the spectrum of vintage offerings, because even with bruised aldehydes or other age-induced flaws, No. 5 always comes through in the drydown with one of life’s great sandalwood experiences. Currently, I’m back to the classic EdT (made in France), but I also have a bottle of the Elixir, and that’s what I’ve been reaching for in recent months.
The Elixir formulation conveys all the complexity of No. 5, but the sharp, tingly edges of the aldehydes are rounded and smoothed over, so the effect feels less crystalline, and more like a soft twinkle. It wouldn’t be No. 5 without that sparkle, but it’s softer, and perhaps kinder to noses that struggle with aldehydes. There isn’t much of an opening, and the Elixir doesn’t evolve like traditional perfume, but a silicon-based formula doesn’t have the same volatility, so it’s pretty much the same from start to finish. I also don’t get much powdery musk from the Elixir, so if you like No, 5 L’Eau’s cleaner finish, but want less of its emphatic citrus and more of the original’s golden jasmine/ylang/santal heart, you’ll really enjoy wearing this. It wears close to the skin; its relatively gentle projection and slightly less aggressive profile are perfect for office wear, although it’s fresh and undemanding enough for casual and every day wear—and it’s still No. 5, unmistakeably so, so it’s never out of place with cleavage and stilettos. (I also love it on the men who are intrepid enough to pull it off; male chemistry tends to emphasize its woody notes, and I like the aura of mystery conveyed by a conventionally feminine scent. But maybe i’m just perverse).
Chanel has always made exquisite ancillary goodies (No. 5 body powder, with its giant old fashioned puff, makes me feel like Norma Shearer getting dressed for a night at the Copa with Irving, even when I’m just trying to recover from another day of Social Isolation and apocalyptic news (stress is the most significant factor in making or breaking your immune system, so a hot bath and a little pampering is more than just an indulgence. And don’t even get me started on their French-milled soaps—they’re a religious experience in themselves)), and the quality of materials in No. 5 Elixir is outstanding, even for a company with notoriously high standards. It melts into your skin with the same ease as the parfum.. The applicator is a simple dabber, so you can do a Marylin-style touch behind ears and on wrists, or you can smooth a little with your fingertips in the crook of your elbows (my personal favorite for scent application). The bottle feels sturdy, and its relatively compact size and tight seal make it ideal for keeping in a purse or gym bag, which adds an extra level of versatility to one of perfumery’s great all-rounders.
Chanel really knocked it out of the park with this one, so the question remains (as of 2020): what happened to Elixir, and why won’t they bring it back? I know that scarcity is part of perfumery’s grand illusion, but it would be a real treat if Chanel periodically put more Elixir on the market. The only downside I’ve found is that it doesn’t keep particularly well or age like traditional formulas do: 24 months is about as long as I’ve gotten from my bottles (I’m on number three, and this will be it for me); and toward the end of my first two, as the scent in my bottle began to fade, I added a little Eau Premiere to ensure that I got a consistent amount of scent per application. But each time I open a fresh bottle, it smells great, and each has lasted just as long after opening, so I haven’t noticed any quality issues, so long as I’ve kept them sealed.
Silicon-based products like Elixir had a real moment in the perfume world about 10 or 15 years ago (does anyone remember Lovely Body Satin or whatever it was called? I loved that, too); it seems like those have given way to other ancillaries like hair perfume these days, which I can’t really get excited about. I would love to see more Elixir-type products come back on the market, and the astronomical prices you have to pay for the few remaining bottles of Elixir show that there’s plenty of demand, so I don’t know why Chanel doesn’t bring it back. If they do, sign me up; I can’t justify the aftermarket prices I’m seeing, so I’m going to enjoy wearing my last bottle of Elixir while I can. If the perfume goddesses and/or the powers that be at Chanel S.A. are reading this, please hear my prayers: I’ll gladly buy more—and would you please consider adding Coco and No 19’while you’re at it?
My first chanel perfume, it smells good, i love the floral smell
Im surprised i havent reviewed this!
The elixir version is one of my favourite versions and it reminds me of stronger No 5 L'Eau. What i love about the elixir is that it lacks the aldehydes that im sensitive to.
The scent is soft, soapy flowers and also reminds me of the No 5 body lotion. The problem with No 5 and its products, is that i tend to easily get a headache after wearing (L'Eau is an exception).
It is different to the regular EDP or EDT and the colour i'd associate these to, would be 'golden'. The elixir as appears in the picture reminds me of 'light pink'. Once, an SA mentioned that it goes straight to the dry down of the EDP, but i didnt find that happening on my skin.
I used to own this twice (left one with someone and swapped the other). I do love this scent so much but its just too soft and as it remains so close to the skin it appears as non existent. I do like perfumes to have some presence. A stronger version i would say would be the hair mist. I had that too but the headache was the issue so gave it away. The body creme had the most sillage but for the same reason that went too - oh and that scent was closer to the long rectangle No 5 Eau Premiere.
Just to get back to the point, the Sensuelle Elixir is beautiful but it wears like a light scented lotion so if you are after a perfume then this may not be one to hunt, but wonderful to wear at bedtime or if you dont mind your fragrances remaining private.
So, it seems I’ve found my No. 5. Like many others, I’ve tried and failed to wear other versions, including multiple attempts with Eau Premiere, which I thought for a while would work for me. Not sure what prevents me from being able to wear No. 5. The sharpness? The sillage? Most have been too strong, and not quite scents that I’ve wanted to announce my presence when I walk into a room. Enter Elixir, the discontinued, hard-to-find, and (therefore) usually expensive Chanel No. 5. It smells enough like the rest of the family that people would likely recognize it as related to its sisters, but here’s why I love it. Uncapping the top to slide it along my wrist...something about the thoughtfulness it requires, the slowness, makes me appreciate it more than many other bottles in my collection. The design of the bottle demands that it be handled gently so as not to spill the contents, which makes for a more mindful application. The smell radiates just far enough for the person closest to detect it, but it isn’t wimpy. It wears kind of like an aura, or what I want to be my aura, anyways. It DOES smell sort of like a combination of No. 5 and Bois Des Isles, as mentioned by an earlier reviewer.
How much is a bottle of this worth? Well, I’ve paid a lot more for perfumes I didn’t like nearly as much. Seems these are going right now for anywhere between $100-200 on eBay. If I could get it from a reputable seller? I’d probably have been willing to go up to $120. Knowing what I’ve paid for others gives me a good gauge for comparison. For the gel formulation and stopper bottle alone, it differentiates itself from other fragrances. Buying this, your money is going in part to the experience of applying it. And it is memorable and lovely. I do think it’s worth it. In this era of busy-ness and wanting immediate gratification and having so little time to just be still, this perfume got me to slow down. I do recommend it.
I,m only just starting to get into Chanel no5.
And I love every version.
This version needs time to settle down. I actually disliked it at first it almost was like a off smelling mess, hang in there as this becomes a soapy woody musk with such well blended flowers, hard to pick any out, more woody than say the edp.
She dries down to a lovely expensive french soap kinda smell, clean and perfect after a shower to wear cozily in bed. To me the parfum has more strong dusty lemon , where as this is more woody and much less lemony.
Very romantic, in fact a few hours latter my wrist smelled very very sweet, and that sweeter side stayed gentle but constantly there till next day.
Considering I had not like the start I loved the mid and finish !
I don't get much powder on me :( a note/s I love so I just dust with powder too lol in fact I mix all the no 5 perfumes / bath bits together mmmmm.
My hubby keeps saying it's just like Imperial leather soap, and what's all the fuss about ?
( He says it whilst trying not to laugh as he likes to joke with me and knows I love no 5 )
Coco must be turning in her grave at our conversations lol :)
I decided not to poke him in the eye just yet as I had a feeling he would warm to this creamy deliciousness at some point, plus I knew he was joking...
...Later on ,the same few hours into testing this, I was cuddled up to my man watching you tube when he said you smell beautiful !
SO there you go ! ! !
Fragrance 8/10

Lasting power 6/10
Chanel No. 5 Elixir Sensuel is exquisite, divine! I love it. It's so sweet and soft and powdery. I can smell such beautiful rose, and yang-ylang and neroli, and the soapy jasmine, sweet and strong - it's beautiful. The colour is exactly how this perfume is. A soft delicate pretty feminine pink elixir of love. I am in love, with it. It is so luxurious, and sits so softly on my skin, but still carries far enough for other people to smell it who come near me, and say 'you smell so lovely!' I can smell it all the time. It's a dream! The dry-down is superb - soft and sweet, smooth amber and sweet woods. It's all so soft and creamy, delightful. And it lasts and lasts, forever!
Beautiful, feminine, fresh, soft and dreamy. Gorgeous!
On my skin, this bypasses the aldehyde and neroli stage much faster than No5. Instead it dries down quickly to the base notes and stays there for hours. I get mainly ylang ylang and the wonderful powdery iris I love so much, and amber. The most noticeable difference for me was the woody notes which are very prominent and appear almost immediately. It smelled very earthy even dirty which was a surprise. Gorgeous, I may layer it with my beloved eau premiere and see how that goes.
Fragrance Review For Chanel No 5 Elixir Sensuel
Top Notes: Aldehydes Neroli
Middle Notes: Iris Jasmine Ylang Ylang
Base Notes Amber Woods
Essentially a Chanel No. 5 flanker with the same DNA and bones as No. 5 with some modifications. No. 5 in it's purest form is a floral musk as much as it is an aldehyde floral. This fragrance lacks the musk and that civet, and it is also missing the rose. I really do like the rose in both No. 5 Parfum and Cologne. Here its the ylang-ylang that becomes the star as it did in Eau Premiere. The iris and jasmine are also really standing out and the scent becomes powdery very quickly. It opens with less citrus and less aldehydes than the No. 5 everyone's used to. Sweeter, softer, easier to wear, younger, fresher, cleaner and dries down to sweet wood and a creamy amber. Really good not great, easy to wear No. 5 for someone who is beginning to get into Chanel fragrances and perfume itself.
When I think nothing will surprise me, Chanel # 5 Elixir Sensuel Chanel crosses my path, and gives it to my face making me a passionate declared immediately by him. It is the dream of anyone who ever wanted to use the traditional Chanel # 5, but the bombastic aldehydes his predecessor never allowed him. This is a version of "mademoiselle innocent", the globally acclaimed Chanel # 5, only this one, the aldehydes were washed with water jug containing fresh flowers; nothing aggressive, all very tolerable and addictive it, a delight for warmth and also for spring. An alternative Excellency to feel well dressed (a) with the Chanel identity and their aldehydes, lilies and Jasmine dirty in warmer seasons, or even to go to the beach, why not ?! Has a light, clean footprint as its other versions even remotely can transpire, because they do not have it, in addition to the presence of an Iris said well velvety, firm and there on dewy background, giving that touch of makeup that refers to Finesa immediately. Do not expect this version an absurd silage, however, she lets a satisfactory perfuming golden style that appeals to those who use it and those who embrace it, too, is a scent that ends ambaradamente woody, but without losing the subtle touch to there recognized Chanel away by lovers of house! The consistency of its juice is thick, very strange, but it's nice when it touches the skin! 10 for Chanel # 5 Elixir Sensuel Chanel!
Word of the day: satisfaction... (day 85)
So this is the No 5, which could work for anyone, though its exclusivity is still guaranteed by the limited quantity produced and high price. It has that Chanel sleekness, the perfect blend, the class, but it is not nearly as intimidating as the real No 5.
I used to be one of those, who could not get their way with the original, the most popular world's fragrance. It would have struck me as too loud, too dominant, too aggressive and old fashioned. Luckily, I was introduced to No 5 Premier, which is now one of my favorites. That's how I started giving a chance to the rest of the range.
If I do say so myself, that Elixir Sensuel is perfect in terms of being recognized as an absolutely lovable, pleasant scent, regardless of specific individual preferences. It makes a kind of paradox, though. If it wasn't so rare, I'd expect it to actually become the best seller today! I cannot imagine someone to go wrong buying it whether as a gift, or for their own pleasure. This is so soft, so delicate, so refined... one just cannot go wrong with it. It is like a cashmere scarf: it cannot offend anyone, nor send a wrong message. If it's gifted, that lucky person would recognize the generous, yet sophisticated gesture, and most probably enjoy it themselves. If it's for your own pleasure, you'd surely want to wear it often for that comfy feel and luxurious touch.
Do not expect a huge aura, though. This is a discreet, sensual indeed, practically skin scent. For all the No 5 fans, Elixir Sensuel can perfectly compensate for your signature during relaxing, intimate moments, when a cloud of perfume is not attractive, nor appropriate. I'm speaking of those moments, when you want someone to be as close to you as possible, like cuddling with your baby, whether it's your child or lover.
I find this softer than Chanel 5 eau de parfum, less aldehydes. There's still a very noticable ylang/jasmine, but a softer quality thanks to subtle amber and woodsy notes similar to sandalwood.Drydown has a sort of buttery-ness.
Easier to wear, and nice for most occasions. Sillage seems fairly soft, longevity average
I Loved Chanel Perfume And Elixir. They Stays Better On Me Any Of The Chanel Perfumes;It Lasts Longer All Day without Adding More. I loved it But I Should never put too Much. It Will Give Me An Headache. I Bought This Perfumes At The Chanel Store In Paris.It Bring Back Wonderful Memories Of My Holiday In Paris.
I don't know why "Pentecostal Smell Good" is telling all this stuff about fakes, tubing and ebay, because Elixir Sensuel is a dab bottle with a gel to liquidy stuff inside. I would bet, that the market for fake Elixir Sensuels is very little, so no money in producing fakes. I'd say, if you buy a bottle on ebay, it's probably not a fake, although the inside might be tempered with.
You probably find fakes of No. 5 EdT and EdP in bigger bottles more easily than a real bottle, though.
I miss this so much :( But Eau Premiere is indeed very similar. If you're willing to shell out a few bucks, the extrait is actually the closest thing to this- it's actually my favorite No. 5 concerntration. Wish there was a Fragrantica page for it *hint*
This is really beautiful. It melts into the skin and stays close, so "sensual" is a good description; it's not a seductive scent at all, but instead one that you want to wrap yourself up in and savor. It's sweeter and softer than No. 5 and the woods are stronger, but the powder character is the same.
Even though it doesn't smell like Coco Mademoiselle I find myself comparing the two because they have the same comforting, close feeling to me. I have not yet tried Eau Premiere, but if it smells like this one I think I'll have to; I actually like this better than the No. 5 I tried earlier today.
@blueviolet
can you tell me where did you find it ? is it in stores or online ?
guys where i can find Chanel N°5 Elixir Sensuel ? is it true Chanel stop selling it ????
@amaraztavich, have you tried chanel no 5 premier? Very similar and longer lasting.
Got mine today. Hard to find, soooo beautiful. Very soapy and powdery. Close to original. But more modern. Also similar to premiere. Close to skin. It is sexy, not in a dirty way but in a sensual soft way.
Divine, like the original EDP. But I can't see it on the Chanel site, has it been discontinued?
I had really wanted to love this; however, after a liberal application, all I could smell was olive juice. I didn't get any resemblance to the original No5.
I consider Chanel No. 5 to be the epitome of French perfumery. The original No. 5 is beautiful but I find it heavy and I can't deal with civet. Chanel Elixir Sensuel is it's more modern yet equally stunning twin sister. This version will appeal to the 20 and up set (like myself), who appreciate classic fragrances but don't want to smell old fashioned. I really can't say enough about this beauty. This is gorgeous and everything I love about perfumery; intoxicating and emotionally stirring. I love classic florals with mild aldehydes and a touch of sweetness. Elixir Sensuel greatly satisfies this craving. My only issue is it's longevity; I wish it lasted longer. It's in gel form and it lasts about 4 hours on my skin which is heartbreaking. Usually lack of longevity is a deal breaker for me when choosing to buy a fragrance but with Elixir Sensuel I happily made an exception. Besides, reapplying just means that I get to experience this fragrance symphony all over again. This is too beautiful to pass up. A+
I love this scent so much, it is not too sweet which is why I like it, it smells sensual and inviting, and not overly girly, almost unisex in it's scent. The scent lasted maybe 2 hours, so my only complaint would be that it does not last a long as I would like. But it is divine.
If anyone else would just like to read a strict comparison: I think Elixir Sensual and the Chanel No 5 body lotion are similar - and both of them have too much of an astringent smell for me to want to wear them instead of the EDP or the EDT. The body lotion has more sillage and a scent that lasts longer than the Elixir, but it has an additional "product" smell that reminds me of the Body Shop's Vitamin E products which were once purported to be "unscented" but never were to me! The Elixir smells more like a body product to me, rather than a perfume. It's pretty enough, but it's my least favourite incarnation. For one thing, I miss the boldness that intoxicates me in the EDP.
(While Eau Premiere smells a little bit like the parfum, it is light and pretty with its sheer vanilla accord... verging on an what I might call an Eau Fraiche... I love the EDP and EDT; EDP is my favourite.)
Elixir Sensuel is far closer to the original No5 than Eau Premiere. This version of No5 dries down to a slightly sharp warm amber, as opposed to a rich aldehydic floral of the original. While Eau Premiere is an identity to itself , I feel Elixir Sensuel is really just a slightly off center No5. Elixir Sensuel makes a wonderful base for any of the No5 fragrances, adding a warm background to any of the versions. On its own, I am not sure ES is worth the money as it has very light staying power and sillage. It make a nice indulgence if you are a big No5 fan, otherwise stick to the original or the vibrant and wonderful Eau Premiere.
7/19/13 I have to admit after using Elixir Sensuel in conjunction with Eau Premiere, I started reaching for Elixir more and more. The warm amber drydown is pretty intoxicating. I still think the sillage is minimal, but with a good dousing you will be enveloped by a unique No5 aura.
Chanel No 5 has always been one of my favourite fragrances, my first love was EDT, then eau premiere - I haven't owned the EDP. This version is my absolute favourite and I think will oust eau premiere as my signature. From first application the notes are the epitome of the classic No 5, there's no waiting for the dry down to appreciate the softer, powdery notes, they are there from the beginning. I find it so feminine and soft, it's like wrapping yourself in the cosiest cashmere rug. It doesn't have huge sillage but I don't really mind that, I love how you just get the occasional waft of it and it lasts about 6 hours on me.
I don't have much to add to the previous reviews. I also loved this formulation. My only complaint is that it doesn't last long, on my skin at least:(
That pyramid is missing a whole bunch of notes. This gets right to the mimosa-rich heart of No 5 extrait from the start, and with the ambery base also poking through, it reminds me of a cross between No 5 and Bois des Iles. Rich, sweet, just a hint of powder. I've loved No 5 in many (all?) of its variations over the years, but this is definitely my new favourite.
Chanel No. 5 Sensual Elixir: It's everything I love about the original No. 5, but gently updated. It's all there, sans the prickly aldehydes: the softness, the creamy florals, and the smooth powdery warmth. It's the olfactory equivalent to rolling naked down a hill of cashmere.
Aah, Nº5...how I love thee...let me count the ways.
So I got a bottle of this beauty for my birthday, and when I first sniffed it out of the bottle, I wasn't impressed. It smelled nothing like the original EDP. But I put some on me and...
...a strange mystical thing happened.
It turned into what i recognized to be the complex bouquet that is Nº5. I couldn't believe it. Now I wish it had greater silliage and a tad more aldehydes...this smelled almost exactly like the original. And the crystal stopper is a very nice touch. I think this is going to be a smell I wear everyday....even if it is a few drops before bed. ;)
when i apply this i smell baby wipes.. powder ..and hmm babies.. new born babies.. clean skin..i smell my mother on that perfume..i dont understand how they call it sexual elixer.. its the total opposite of any thing sexual ..its pure...light..plain..simple..airy..angelic. ..its so soft ..its like a whisper..its so light..like a breath of air..its almost cloudy..its cold..almost dead..
so powdery..it smells like old make up powder..maybe the back stage of Marilyn Monroe make up room smelled like that..its so 50 ies..there is something in the very back maybe the aldehydes that make it special or memorable..in a discrete way...it s a skin scent it envelops your skin as a second skin it lays there as if you have applied powder plain white unscented powder with a hint of muskiness and aldehydes..softer ones..it turns in your skin and gives you a cloudy vail of hmmmmm i dont know is it sheerness..is it purity..its definitely something white..very white..very elusive..with a hint of lemon..i smell my grandfather in it too..it smells old in a nostalgic way..it has a heart tightening sensation about it in my heart..
its a fine simple french legend..that will stand the test of time..
perfume rating 4 out 5
bottle rating 4.4 out of 5
this review was about the no5 sensual elixir from the seductive collection
its not in the normal perfume alcoholic form. it feels like a viscous solution. its a pour out bottle edp perfume bottle ,that you open the cap and use it or pour it out on your pulse points.. it feels like a serum.. a heavy viscous composition that doesn't feel oily.. but is like light serum ..
its 50 ml
bought from bloomingdales..at about 100 us $
they always hide them inside counters and are not found easily always out of stock..they are like the hidden treasures that you have to hunt for..
Just received this treassure of a perfume this morning and oh my God, it is simply beautiful. Such a luxury scent. I want to swim it, SLEEP in it! So soft, yet still so very intriguing and bubbling with personality. Sensuel? Oh, yes indeeeeed :o)
P.S. Just needed to add, that this wonderful luxury scent has a very weak lasting power, maybe because it's a gel? The scent, on me, is gone within two hours, and even though the gel, to me, is a pleassure to use, it's a little disappointing, that it doesn't have the longevity I somehow expected from this brand
Smelled divine when applied on skin, but....but gone in 10 minutes! Which never happened to Chanels on my skin before..Shame. A definite beauty though- much softer than the other N5 flukes, girlier and a crowd pleaser..
This is one of my favorite perfumes ever, in any form I can get it in. Elixir is the BEST form of it on me and to my nose. I LOVE it. It's softer Than No. 5 EDP or T, sexier, yes, sensual. And definitely a heady elixir!
While I really like this perfume, it oddly reminds me of my brother's shaving cream! That aside, it's a soft, light powdery scent that I love wearing on days when I like to lounge around my home and watch tv! I'm always comforted when I put this on. This is something I only wear on these occasions but it could also be worn out for special events as well.
I was wearing this today to test it out and I was at first disappointed that the silage was so low. Out of the blue my 5 year old daughter kept coming around and sniffing me on my wrists and neck....I thought she would tell me it was stinky but she smiled and said "you smell pretty mommy". It is a fragrance that I am going to have to get used to because I am more used to all the fruity florals of today, but to my daughters un-biased nose it was beautiful. She told me it smelled like flowers...and all I could smell was powder and aldehydes. Her nose is obviously more refined than my own.
What a great surprise! I don't like Chanel No.5, strong aldehydes make it unwearable for me.
Elixir however opens with soft aldehydes, but iris kicks in fast and amber follows iris even faster. The whole fragrance works on my skin in a fast forward mode, doesn't give me enough time to enjoy any particular note. I can't believe myself saying this, but I wish the aldehydes stayed for longer, I really enjoy them in Elixir.
It's a beautiful fragrance, it's soft, luxurious and it will earn it's wearer well deserved admiration and respect.
It's easy to wear as it doesn't go to extremes, all notes are presented well and blend beautifully. It's so well balanced that it's almost a little boring.
I hate this one, all I can smell is rose rose rose and cheap soap. Well I gave it to my sister-problem solved. It was a waste of my money.I love Allure.
I adore ylang ylang, orris and jasmine. This is my favourite version through years of parfum, edT, EdP.... This is silk taffeta, creamy with a "rustle". You have to experience the ritual and dab it on, no instant gratification "spritz". I love this Fall into Winter. With a light hand it is office friendly and for evening and an outing to see the Nutcracker Suite in December. I believe each woman wears it differently to make it her own.
Ah...
A blossom laden bitter orange tree grove flourishing around a frozen lake. I love the seasonal contradiction of Elixir Sensuel's gobsmackingly gorgeous opening.
Everything about CN5 ES works from the immaculate presentation to the quaint glass stopper used to administer the runny honey that is Elixir Sensuel.
One drop to the wrists and my world becomes a tranquil paradise.
This sensual elixir warms up into familiar territory by becoming a bouncier version of my beloved CN5 EDP. ES has loads of naturally occurring youthful collagen plumping up her cheeks to CN5 EDP's somewhat sallow expression. In no way am I belittling CN5 (OMG that would be downright sacrilege - burn me at the stake RIGHT NOW!) no no no. My nose simply recognises the glamorous CN5 heart.
Elixir Sensuel honours the tradition impeccably. She is slightly more curvaceous in her portrayal and her curves create a warmth unique to her expression.
Between the original No.5, Eau Premiere and this, this one is definitely my favourite. The orris, musk and ylang ylang come out beautifully on my skin, with a hint of a mildly soapy jasmine, making it soft and creamy. This seems less like a typical Chanel to me, but I think this is because the aldehydes are so muted. I think this would be a very lovely and inoffensive day time scent.
lovely!! but everybody tells me that it lasts longer than chanel 5 edt, the spray , i don;t seem to smell it at all. it doesn;t spread the scent. i know a perfume should't be invasive, because it can be vulgar...but still...
Ooohhhhhh, this smells soooo good! Pretty, lightly sweet, a smidgen powdery, petite fresh and lovely, an so very, very feminine. The previous reviews used some good adjectives to describe the Elixir Sensuel: Comforting, Luxurious, Stunning!
When I bought this at the store I was ooh'ing and awe'ing so much that one sales woman accross the floor yelled over to me "The Elixir is my favorite too!" And the other sales woman who was waiting on me said "YES! I love the Elixir too and so does my husband." We were all happy ladies that day and enjoying ourselves.
This version is so much nicer than the spray version. If you want to like Chanel #5, then try the Elixir Sensuel and expand from there.
This is luxurious! This is how you and your perfume become one. If only all fumes could be made in this form.
It doesn't overwhelm you upon application like a spray. It's like a seduction... it's soft touch caresses you and then hugs onto your skin. This version of No.5 is to die for. And for those of you who don't find the spray wearable... this elixir is for you!
I find this so much wearable than the EdP. It goes really well with my skin chemistry. I can actually smell the perfume, and not a blast of aldehydes, as in the EdP. It still is soapy, but in a good, fresh,clean and sweet way. I cannot detect any specific flowers though, but I love it.I've been wearing ES with the No. 5 body lotion, and I alternate it with Eau Premiere/body lotion. I think both combinations are wonderfull.I prefer these 2 combinations to the No. 5 EdP.
One of my personal favorites. All the fragrance notes are present at once. Lasts longer and those notes I find less than desirable on their own blend wonderfully. A floral, classic, femmine
fragrance.
This is softer than the original much more wearable it is a gel fragrance that isn't sticky on the skin.But it doesn't interest me I guess No.5 isn't for me.
Agree it lasts better than the original. I bought it while travelling last year but broke the bottle and had beautiful smelling luggage for a long time. I hope to buy it again some time.
I love No. 5, especially EdT, so sensual and clean, lasting and comforting, although aldehydes are highlighted (what I like) but not here. And I like the whole story about the famous perfume.
Elixir Sensuel is little soapy, but very soft. Applied in drops also very feminine. Once upon a time perfumes were kept in small bottles and sparingly used. Less is more and Elixir is a great way to learn how many drops is enough for full enjoyment.
Elixir Sensuel is so small and practical for any purse, it might be convenient in natural spray, but I like this way. Slightly different from the famous No.5 (EdT or EdP), in dry-down maybe less clean and sharp, but it is Chanel, authentic and quite different from other brands.
Sometimes I'm not sure whether it is unisex, as it can be feminine and/or men's cologne, but no doubt with Chanel, the female fragrance will be worn only by women. Incredibly longlasting and impressive, the perfect choice for an elegant evening out.
This is my fave version of No. 5. It wear so well and the powdery note is very dominant. Much younger with a provocative side. Highly recommend!
I find this formulation wears better on my skin than the original alcohol based version as it brings out the ylang ylang/rose accents more. Bought it on a trip to NY one Christmas so the smell always transports me back there!

Yves Rocher So Elixir Bois Sensuel Eau de parfum 50 ml./1.7 fl.oz. Spray.
"The extreme sensuality of interlaced precious wood and creamy balms. This perfume reveals the addictive combination of Patchouli essence and Vanilla absolute. Adding the precious and distinguished Iris absolute brings unusual sophistication to the fragrance. » Marie Salamagne and Olivier Cresp, Parfumers.
Marie Salamagne admits to having a predilection for elegant materials with a distinctive olfactory identity. "I like starting with a strong raw material that tells a story. A diamond in the rough that I have to chisel to reveal this or that facet until I get to the olfactory range that will be at the heart of my creation."
Olivier Cresp's style is clearly figurative. To him, the idea is the most important thing when creating; it can come from a childhood memory, an emotion, a conversation, a walk in nature… Then comes the style. He signs each creation of its own minimalist and authentic style.
