Chanel Chanel N°5 Elixir Sensuel is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2004. Chanel N°5 Elixir Sensuel opens with Neroli, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Amber. Chanel's Chanel N°5 Elixir Sensuel carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is Chanel No. 5 for anyone who found the original too much- a softer, more sensual take that still feels utterly luxurious. The tragic discontinuation means it's now a unicorn fragrance for devoted fans.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best For:
Office Date Casual Formal

Its intimate sillage and refined floral-woody character make it perfect for close encounters like dates or the office. While versatile due to its subtlety, it's too delicate for active wear.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Elixir Sensuel opens with a whisper of neroli, immediately softening into a lush bouquet of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and the signature powdery elegance of iris. The base unfolds into a creamy, warm blend of amber, soft musk, and subtle woods, creating an enveloping, intimate aura.
