Chanel No 5 Eau Premiere (Tester)

Description

Chanel N°5 Eau Première, launched in 2008 by house perfumer Jacques Polge, is a lighter, more modern reinterpretation of the iconic N°5 — designed for those who love the classic but want something softer and more wearable for everyday life. It retains the signature aldehydic rose-and-jasmine heart but wraps it in a fresher, airier structure: less powdery and opulent, more luminous and approachable than the original Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette.

Scent Character

• Floral — 40%
• Fresh — 20%

FAQ

What's the difference between a "tester" and a boxed retail bottle?
The juice inside is identical — testers are simply sold without the outer box, which is why they're priced lower.

How is Eau Première different from No. 5 Eau de Parfum?
Eau Première is lighter and airier, with the same aldehydic rose-jasmine heart but less powder and heft than the classic EDP.

How long does it last?
Expect roughly 6 to 7 hours for most wearers, with soft-to-moderate sillage — though it runs shorter for some skin types.

Note on concentration:
Despite sometimes being labeled loosely as an EDT elsewhere, Eau Première is officially bottled by Chanel as an Eau de Parfum.
