Advantages: sensual and feminine floral hart, good staying powder Disadvantages: aldehydes - not everyone is used to this smell; can be found old-fashioned
Chanel No. 5 will always remain a controversial perfume. Although used and praised for decades it's still a love or hate fragrance. I think it's because of aldehydes, the most important constituents of this fragrance. They possess a waxy, fatty smell that often makes think on washed and dried clothe. Aldehydes are found in nature (for example in a citrus peel), but never in amounts used in Chanel No. 5.
