Chanel No 5 Hair Fragrance Chanel perfume – a fragrance for women 2021

-_-‘ I work in the industry and have been for over a decade now, with clientele on the floor and behind the scenes, have a lot of connections and learn trade secrets ahead of time/get to experience things even up to a couple years before a product hits the sales floor. Not to toot my own horn, but I’m responsible for a lot of products that have hit the market from beloved houses in the past 6 years that many here will rave about, others that people love to hate. Fragrance is one of my biggest passions, if not my biggest, so a lot of what I do in the industry entails; what comes out when, who has what, what people are talking about, what people want to see, successes, failures, demand… so when you think the companies aren’t listening, they are, *waving to you*.

This came out onto the selling floor in 2019 as an initial soft launch, was meant to be launched when the first lockdown happened in the spring of 2020, but delayed to continue a soft launch when the rest of the new body line was due out for N*5 at the end of September of 2020. Press releases, soft launches and official launches don’t always coordinate. Fragrantica is also sometimes late to the ball to add things on their site. Le Lion is another that was out and about in the spring of 2020, but due to circumstances, it’s been in launch mode only this past month. A lot of things have been delayed. H24 was delayed by 6 months as another example. What I recommend a lot of fragrantica followers to do is befriend someone who’s in the industry, even at the store level and you’ll learn a lot more from those individuals about things to come than from when companies give permission to post after press releases.

The hairmist is more citrusy than the original EDP, but still true to the scent with a little bit of the body, not as citrusy as L’Eau. It’s not the same as it was before in the thin hair mist bottle or the wide one with the black cap, disconnect from the memory of those when smelling this hair mist, it doesn’t do it justice; consider it a completely different product.

Regarding the comment on alcohol in all the Chanel hair mists, it’s not rubbing alcohol, there’s many different types and compounds. The type of alcohol used in hair mists are ‘fatty alcohols’ that are beneficial to hair health. A trick to not be sucked into buying hair mists; if you have a hair brush, spray the hairbrush with a fine mist of your regular fragrance, then comb it through your hair. By the time you bring the brush up to your head, the alcohol that is bad for your hair has evaporated and you end up with pleasantly perfumed hair. There’s so many great tricks with fragrance (when done the right way) and they can be a powerful tool, not just a way of smelling nice.

Don’t take my comment with butt hurt, but with tough love.
