A classic does not have to be for everyone
I respect this perfume far more than I enjoy wearing it. A friend of mine wore it the other day and it smelled absolutely lovely on her, which made me wonder whether I had been too quick to dismiss it.
So the next time I was in a department store, I tried it on my own skin and wore it for the rest of the day.
By the evening, I had reached exactly the same conclusion as before: beautiful perfume, just not for me.
Being over 50 does not automatically mean one develops a moral obligation to love Chanel. The smell is simply not my cup of tea.
