Who knew that Gabrielle Chanel's little request for 'a woman's perfume with a woman's scent' would create such a following for House of Chanel's scents? Over the years, owning a Chanel perfume has become the ultimate marker of 'you're doing amazing, sweetie' (read: you have made it), and their scents are revered as timeless classics. From real-life Marilyn Monroe to the reel life of Blaire Waldorf (we are proud members of Queen B's cult), everyone has reinforced the alluring nature of Chanel No. 5, the most sought-after scent by women of every age for a century.

However, as much as we love Chanel No. 5, many other perfumes by Chanel are as fantastic, if not more. So, here is a list of the best Chanel perfumes that should be on your radar.

Coco Mademoiselle

To no one's surprise, our favourite perfume from all the beautiful scents of Chanel is Coco Mademoiselle. It is their best-seller scent and stays on the skin literally forever. This fragrance is warm and intense. It contains strong patchouli notes with a blend of tonka bean and vanilla from Madagascar. The slightly spicy yet flowery freshness makes this fragrance super versatile and luxurious, and it is a perfect signature scent that can be easily worn every day without being too heavy. This is an easy number one for us, and if you are only looking to buy one perfume from Chanel, we'd highly recommend opting for this one.

Gabrielle Chanel Essence

This recent release quickly rose to the top among Chanel's scent collectors. Margot Robbie is the face of the Gabriella Essence collection; this one too, lasts for a good amount of time and is definitely one of the best perfumes created by House of Chanel. The scent is very modern, containing floral notes of intense and exotic jasmine, fruit ylang-ylang, sparkling orange blossom, and highly concentarted grasse turberose. We absolutely love this fresh, peachy, fruity type of fragrance.

Chance Eau Tendre

Next is Chance Eau Tendre, which we would like to describe as a very youthful and clean signature scent. If you like floral scents, this one might become your go-to perfume. It smells like a fresh bouquet of flowers with notes of jasmine and rose. It is a natural scent that is the best for daytime, in our opinion.

Coco Noir

Many describe Coco Noir as the grown-up version of Coco Mademoiselle; it also contains ambery notes in a slightly more nuanced and concentrated manner. It's a vibrant scent with notes of germanium rose, centered patchouli, and tonka beans. The smell is darker, dense, persistent, luxurious, and yet less spicy than Mademoiselle. And you'll get a citrusy note after opening the bottle, which stays for a while.

Allure Sensuelle

Allure Sensuelle is a lighter and creamier scent that is slightly more unique to Mademoiselle. It has the perfect ambery tones, like light patchouli, intertwining rose and frankincense. This scent has a very sophisticated, sensual charm, and we highly recommend it as a date night or going-out fragrance.

Coromandel

Coromandel

This one carries the essence, the history, and the roots of Chanel as a brand. It is a classic fragrance that smells amazing—slightly earthy, heavy, and very delicious. It has patchouli, frankincense, and benzoin, and honestly, it smells like a fresh white flower. It is a sophisticated scent, and though it might take some getting used to it, it can become an everyday fragrance.

Gardenia

Gardenia is an easily likeable scent and grows on you very quickly. It feels very bright—a floral fragrance that reminds you of freshly watered grass in the morning. We'd classify this one as a mature and memorable scent that will definitely turn heads and get you many compliments.

Chanel No. 5

N°5

N°5

16750

The most iconic scent from the House of Chanel is, without a doubt, Chanel No. 5. This one embodies sophisticated femininity and is still the most sought-after. It has floral notes of rose, jasmine, lily, and ylang-ylang; no one can deny its evergreen nature. We'd also like to mention Chanel No. 5 L'eau here, which we think is the slightly updated and contemporary version of No. 5 with the same base roots.

Coco De Parfum

Coco Eau De Parfum

Coco Eau De Parfum

16750

This one is perfect if you want the best of both worlds in terms of Coco Noir and Allure. It has woody scents with a great dry down. And the umber notes make it perfect for someone looking for a youthful yet sophisticated scent. A blend of jasmine, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang, it is the perfect warm scent.
