How to Choose a Chanel Fragrance?
If you want to wear your scent during the day or to the office opt for an eau de toilette or fresh floral. If you want to wear it at night go for a rich eau de parfum. Many of Chanel’s scents are available in different concentrations. The same name may be a lighter scent. Always check the title and description of your product.
Chanel by Season
During spring a light floral will give you a fresh scent. During the summer opt for the cleanest and lightest scent. You may not need to spray as much. During autumn you can wear a warmer and woody scent. During winter a rich eau de parfum will last. No.5 is a classic scent that can be worn all year round.
Chanel as a Gift
Chanel scents feel luxurious as they are instantly recognized. If you know what their favorite scent is, match it to that. If not No.5 is a classic scent, or Bleu de Chanel for a clean and easy men’s scent. These are commonly chosen. View our gift sets. Always check the label to see if it is for men/women and what concentration.
Sizes and Value
Chanel comes in a few different sizes. The bigger the bottle usually the cheaper per ounce. If you know you love the scent go for a bigger size. However if you are wanting to try it out for the first time go for a smaller size. Always compare the size in ounces or milliliters.

How to Wear Chanel?
Chanel is high quality and elegant so should be worn lightly. For an eau de toilette spray 2-3 sprays onto clean skin on your neck and wrists. For an eau de parfum spray 1-2 sprays. Gently dab rather than rub. Richer versions are best for nights and colder weather.
