A striking creation! I tried this (EDP) out of the blue during the hunt for a new fragrance. Originally from 1922 and created by Ernest Beaux, relaunched in 1997 and reformulated by Jacques Polge, n...Read more

I doubt I'll need to buy this again. A 200ml sized bottle ? Were the Chanel team totally cracked on fumes when they designed the bottle??? I suppose if you are a dedicated perfumista then you should...Read more

I love Chanel 18. It's on my list of top 10 all time favorite scents. I find it simple yet unique, ethereal yet lasting, spare yet deep. The first sniff is a clean and bare iris. This is followed ...Read more

Iris is such an interesting scent. I heard that iris is expensive and is in a lot of Chanel fragrances. It's nice that companies like Chanel still spend the money to put forth quality fragrances wit...Read more

Thank goodness I don't smell any of the metal, dill pickle, or sweaty odors mentioned in these reviews! On me it's a creamy, peachy-orange scent with a touch of smoke in the top notes. It stays clos...Read more

Wow, I wonder if I'm testing the same thing as everyone else. I didn't get peach, cumin, sweat, metal or sharp green notes. No gin, no sharp alcohol. What I do get is a lovely pleasantly musky ambrett...Read more

I surprised myself by loving this scent. It has a lovely sharpish, vegetal opening. I think the dill pickle association is unfortunate for some, but to me there is nothing sour or vinegarish here - ju...Read more

Chanel No. 18 has an icy cold opening, that smells metallic and very fruity upon spritzing. It's really squeaky clean and honestly.. I cannot smell the cumin. Don't be afraid... there's no 'BO" note ...Read more
