    I was pleasantly surprized by this one - as it is in my opinion the most ignored of the Chanels. I can see why - this is a fragrance that will not easily be understood by inexperienced noses that...

    Apparently if this works for you, it's wonderful boquet of white flowers. On me, 22 smells like a "comforting" roseish floral with a powdery incensy base, worn only in winter. There is something...

    The parfum is the most wearable of all of the forms of Chanel No. 22, so I would give that 3 lipsticks. The EDT and lotion I would have to give only a 2 at best, since I find them both unwearable...

    I have sampled this multiple times and I really really want to like it, but it is just smells too soapy and old lady-ish. Maybe when I'm an old person it will finally work on me and I will be happy...

    I'm not certain what the other reviewers here were smelling, but this is NOTHING like White Linen (thick-but-sharp), nor is it like Wind Song (thin-and-sharp). There is a greenish quality to both...

    This one really suprised me. It starts of a "old lady" type floral and I was disgusted by it. Then about two hours later I smelled my wrist and it was a heavenly honey and flowers smell. It was...

    As others have said, unique wicked/dirty white floral. On me, the floral/incense/powder mix quickly becomes just powder, but manages to stay sophisticated.

    One word: Stinkeroony! Boy, what a relief to see that something so expensive can be so undesirable (one off the list!). Could not stop gagging on this one. I did not even make it to the white...

    This one has always been on my list of favorites. It is girlish and grownup at the same time, and I love its staying power. It does seem to have been reformulated, though, in the last decade or...

    Here is another that I really wanted to like. But alas, it is a very aldehydic floral. Nothing natural about this one. Nor is there anything special about it.

    Ernest Beaux ou non, my EDT sample smelled of none other than EL White Linen. After having survived, olfactorily scathed, the near-hegemony of EL fragrances in the 1980s, I have no wish to revisit...

    Another of my favorite Chanel perfumes. I have the EDT & lotion, both wonderfully soft and elegant. It's not a sharp white floral, like many tuberose/gardenia-dominant perfumes are, at least to my...

    Potent white floral fragrance that's a must for white flower lovers, at least to sample. I find it too strong, however, even a bit too sweet. Not my favorite.

    Chanel No.22 is not an easy love at first sniff to me. When I first smelled it out of the bottle it nearly shoutet at me and i was rather shocked by its shameless white flowers (what an...

    I don't like the EDT or lotion at all in this scent. Truly to me both smell musty and rancid. Parfum is better, but is also strange. White floral top and a musty bottom. I have learned now that...

    Cloying, even for a white floral. And not even pretty like some white florals. Smells like something the mother of Norman Bates would wear.

    A rather odd white floral. It has an incense note that makes it almost otherworldly. I found the previous comparison to a glass-shattering soprano amusing, because #22 is my sister's favorite, and...

    Hate the EDT of this - musty and stale. Body lotion is similarly unpleasant. Parfum is excellent though. Sweet powdery complex white floral.
