Every Woman Needs at Least One Chanel Perfume—These Are the 5 Best Ever
Pick your poison.
Growing up, my mom had the most enchanting collection of beauty products that took residence in her bathroom. (My dad's electric shaver, bare bar soap, and a lone bottle of 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner didn't stand a chance and were banished to a different bathroom downstairs.) Atop my mom's porcelain vanity sat her jars of creams and powders, and along the wall, deep drawers were lined with rows of sophisticated lipstick bullets. Atop gleaming glass shelves sat her collection of Chanel perfumes. Even at a super-young age (and knowing nothing of Chanel's iconic name), I understood with an inherent knowledge there was something supremely special about the gilded bottle stoppers and black lacquer detail. The name "Chanel" was effortlessly etched into my subconscious as the epitome of glamour and covetousness. Nearly 20 years later (and now me being a beauty editor), that etching hasn't faded. Of course, Chanel makes loads of holy grail beauty products that anyone with an affinity for nail polish, lustrously glossed lips, or glowing skin would want to hoard, but it's the brand's collection of iconic fragrances that will always represent the upper echelon of anything and everything pertaining to beauty. So because everyone should own at least one Chanel perfume in their life, we're paying homage to the brand by featuring its five best fragrances ever, followed by additional (similar) perfumes from other brands you definitely need on your shopping radar as well. Keep scrolling to see the five best-ever Chanel perfumes and their similar addicting counterparts.Fragrance Family: FloralKey Notes: Peony accord, passion fruit, vanilla. Slightly warmer than your typical floral (thanks to the mellow additions of cozy vanilla and shimmery mandarin), this Chanel masterpiece was created by Jacques Polge in 1996. I'm partial to it since it's been my mom's signature for as long as I can remember.Fragrance Family: Floral. Key Notes: Lychee, pomelo, lily, red rose, amberFragrance Family: Floral. Key Notes: Red apple, peony, suedeFragrance Family: Floral. Key Notes: Frangipani, orange blossom, golden amberFragrance Family: FloralKey Notes: Jasmine, orange blossom, Grasse tuberose, ylang-ylang. Consider Gabrielle (which, ahem, Margot Robbie is the face of) your classic floral fragrance with kind of a fairytale twist. Famed perfumer Olivier Polge crafted this scent to represent an imaginary flower. It's equal parts rich, green, and elegant. Fragrance Family: Floral. Key Notes: Lemon, mandarin, Jasminum sambac, neroli, musk, cotton candyFragrance Family: Floral. Key Notes: Tuberose, orange blossom, jasmine, amber woodFragrance Family: Floral. Key Notes: Citrus accord, gardenia, ylang-ylang, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver oakmoss, benzoinFragrance Family: FloralKey Notes: Grapefruit, quince, rose accord, white musk. I may be biased, but Chanel's lush, fruity take on florals is my all-time favorite fragrance from the brand. Classic bouquet notes like rose and jasmine are modernized with fresh hints of quince and grapefruit while the warming comfort of musk keeps the finish smooth and enveloping.Fragrance Family: Floral . Key Notes: Pear accord, Lily of the Valley Accord, green black currant, muskFragrance Family: Floral . Key Notes: Grasse rose absolute, Italian mandarin, bergamot, white musk accordFragrance Family: Floral . Key Notes: Grapefruit, violet rose, ambrette, iris, raspberry, heliotrope, white muskFragrance Family: FloralKey Notes: Orange, patchouli, Turkish rose. If you're a fan of warm, earthy notes like patchouli but want something that still feels light and floral, then famed Chanel perfume Coco Mademoiselle will probably be your poison of choice. The mix of delicate rose and jasmine is brought to life with vibrant hits of orange and patchouli to create a robust and memorable scent. It's lively while still chic and sophisticated.Fragrance Family: Floral. Key Notes: Violet leaf, neroli, freesia, jasminum sambac, vanilla, cocomusk, sandalwoodFragrance Family: Floral.

Chanel N°5 will always be perhaps the most iconic perfumes of all-time (and that extends beyond the scope of just Chanel, folks). Though this is a true, classic floral fragrance, it's powdery and full-bodied thanks to trademark notes of aldehydes, along with earthy anchors like neroli, bourbon vanilla, and sandalwood.Fragrance Family: FloralKey Notes: Bergamot, fresh dew, floral, cassis, vanilla, amberFragrance Family: FloralKey Notes: Orange blossom, vanilla, luscious marshmallow, honeysuckle, amber, neroliFragrance Family: FloralKey Notes: Aldehyde, geranium, musk, rose, violet.

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
