I'm not a big perfume wearer, I often investigate new perfumes, but rarely find one I like, and there are just two perfumes which I like to keep in the house at all times. One is Rive Gauche and the other is Chanel No.5 Of these two, the Chanel is without a doubt my favourite. Evening or daytime, casual or formal Chanel No.5 works for me. ...  Read the complete review

Bizarrely I actually bought myself a bottle of Chanel No5 before I had even smelt it. I was 17 years old, and going through the duty free section at the airport, and saw Chanel No5. I think if you asked most people to name a person by Chanel, the No5 would be the one they would name. So as I had heard so much about it, I ...  Read the complete review

I guess I liked Chanel No5 from a young age - from about 18 months actually. My mum says that someone bought her a big bottle of it duty free (a rare treat).

I like Nicole Kidman. She’s smart and sassy and strikingly attractive, slim not skinny and her eyes sparkle. We have so much in common other than her red hair and blue eyes, her celebrity status and bank balance and hmm those legs up to armpits. Oh and she can act as well and she’s single. Never mind, I still like her though. Then I saw her as the ...  Read the complete review
