With industry-leading perfumes like No.5, Coco, Allure, Cristalle and No.19 it is easy to see why perfume shops around the world stock and sell vast quantities of Chanel perfume products each year. Shopping for a Chanel perfume can be complicated – this is only because the Chanel brand is so popular around the world there are a number of counterfeit operations working to produce fake Chanel perfume at any given time.
The most famous Chanel fragrance is Chanel No.5 – this iconic perfume introduced in 1921 is legendary and still quite popular today. The perfume was fifth in a series of scents presented to Chanel by perfumer Ernest Beaux, and she opted to keep it’s name No.5 because it was her lucky number – the scent made its debut on May 5. But, as many perfume aficionados know, Chanel No.5 was just the beginning of one of the largest fragrance empires in today’s fashion world.
Other popular Chanel perfumes include: Allure, an irresistible fresh floral scent; Chance, a spicy and unexpected floral blend; Coco, the Chanel perfume that oozes sensuality; Chanel No.19, launched on Gabrielle Chanel’s birthday with a heady mix of white and green flowers; and Cristalle, an invigorating citrus scent. Coco Mademoiselle is a light but mature take on the youthful sensuality of Coco, while Allure Sensuelle adds an element of oriental intrigue to the fresh floral bouquet of the original Allure scent. Chanel also makes a number of popular colognes for men, including Allure Homme, Antaeus, Platinum Égoiste and Pour Monseiur.
Chanel fragrance collections typically include the perfume, as well as a selection of bath and body products ranging from lotion and hair mist to bath gel and deodorant. For savvy shoppers, many discount perfume shops offer special packages that include a number of items from particular Chanel perfume collections for less than the items would cost if purchased individually.
Most of the popular Chanel perfumes are available from a wide variety of perfume stores both in the high street and online. If you’re looking for cheap perfume, Chanel might not be the brand for you, but a number of discount perfume shops make it more affordable for today’s shoppers than it’s ever been before. However, it is important to be careful where you choose to shop – particularly for expensive fragrances. Choose online retailers with a proven track record, solid customer service and a clear return/refund policy to avoid disappointment.
