I always remember smelling Chanel No. 5 at home - my mum used to literally pour it, and she rocked it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Chanel No. 5 is my perfume when I'm feeling like a lady. It's old-school and warm - and it reminds me of my mom.
When I was growing up, my mother always wore Chanel.
For as long as I can remember, I've just loved Chanel.
Chanel has always been this big thing for me - there are baby pictures of me wearing my mom's Chanel pumps.
Chanel is a brand that is so inspiring.
I was never a fan of Chanel. I liked it on other people. Some other people. All the ladies who were too plump and busty looked like little sausages.
The Chanel woman? I don't even need to see; I smell her from round the corner.
When I think of my childhood, I see my mother, the complete sixties parent, decked in purple frappe silk caftans, the acidic smell of newly stripped pine mingling with incense.
My mother worked in a chocolate factory, so when I came home from school, I had a piece of baguette with dark chocolate in it. I remember her smelling like chocolate.
I remember making my own fragrances when I was young.
