Chanel No. 5 Eau de Parfum remains a polarizing fragrance in the r/fragrance community. While recognized as an iconic classic worth owning for its historical significance and pleasant drydown, multiple users report the initial aldehydic profile smells unpleasantly like bug spray or insect repellent, leading to widespread disappointment among modern users expecting to love such a legendary scent.

The r/fragrance community views J'Adore very positively as an accessible, universally appealing floral fragrance with excellent sourcing practices. However, performance and longevity are frequently cited concerns, and some users experience headaches from the strong rose note. The new Parfum d'Eau version shows promise for those seeking better intensity.
