This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I bought off ebay, a brand new unopened 3.4 oz bottle serial #1301 3.4 oz Chanel No 5.
Cocos verification system shows it was created in Feb of 2025.
Brand new never opened atomizer.
The seller bought out from a cross ships Chanel store
All I smell is alcohol!
I researched and yes, tagically I learned Chanel admitted they changed its scent formula away grub the original 1928 scent!

I bought 2 sample sizes of Chanel No 5 Eau De Parfum to compare the scents. The samples didn't even smell!

I'm out over $175. I tested my sense of smell with other known patrons I used to buy and they smell the same.

Coco needs to return to original scent and stop changing it's formula as it's a fraud.

Claimed loss: Coco ChanelParis France

Desired outcome: An even exchange of original Chanel No 5 scent for these unacceptable originals. I'm willing to send these bottles to Chanel
