[unpaid/sample] One of many issues I used to be intrigued about with the brand new CHANEL No1 L’Eau Rouge was whether or not it will scent ‘Chanel-y’ or whether or not the model had departed completely from my favorite No5 in favour of one thing fully new. However, a beneficiant spritz put my coronary heart relaxed as a result of, sure, it’s nonetheless very a lot and identifiably CHANEL.
I’m a lot much less enthusiastic a couple of physique mist in winter than I’m in summer season – it’s simply that icy chill on a just-out-of-bed heat physique that’s maybe extra bracing than I’d like so I’ve been utilizing it over the weekend as a ‘stroll by’ mist, totally clothed, to absorb the acquainted notes.
I do know that early opinions are discovering CHANEL No1 L’Eau Rouge berry-ish however I can’t say I do significantly though I recognise some ‘juiciness’. My first impression is that of No.5 – these acquainted powdery notes of iris and musk – albeit in a extra watery setting, are very a lot there. The sunshine hand with jasmine makes it an excellent possibility for individuals who can solely take the smallest quantity of that potent word. It’s a mistake to think about this as a full on perfume – it’s not. It’s extra of a fleeting impression … you may discover it stays extra simply in your hair than it does in your pores and skin.
I feel it was about 2019 that CHANEL introduced out their particular crimson version of No.5 – I nonetheless have it- and the shade for No1 is similar. It’s very wealthy with out being fiery and instantly identifiable as CHANEL which is fascinating because the model has solely ever finished this bottle color as soon as earlier than. I’d sum L’Eau Rouge as a quick indulgence – one thing that your temper wants solely fleetingly. You possibly can spritz usually, figuring out that you just’re not ever going to be over-doing it and I assume if something, it’s a perfume that solely the spritzer enjoys to its full which I feel I approve of! It’s £90 HERE.
