As far as necessity goes, Chanel No.5 Bath Soap won’t tick any boxes at £22 a bar, but in terms of want, it’s pretty high up the ladder of luxury loveliness. Chanel No.5 is still my favourite of the Chanel fragrances – it was one of my very first ‘grown-up’ perfumes and so I’m attached to it in many ways.
Chanel No.5 Bath Soap is true to the original scent of No.5 but it does have a heavy dose of soapiness to it – and it’s majorly fragranced. I’m leaving this in my bathroom to just perfume the room (it may not look like a luxury bathroom but if it smells like one, I’m happy!) for a while before I actually use it.
As far as presentation goes, it’s about as perfect a soap as you can get – the smoothest, pebble like finish with a big double C logo. Everything at Chanel costs a fortune but as a piece of the action I think £22 is okay – it’s going to last for a very long time at 150g and I’m thinking what a glamorous gift! The Chanel No.5 Bath Soap is part of the No.5 Christmas Gifting range launching on 15th October and it’s accompanied by a body cream (£60) and a loose powder with a puff (£50).

Now I just need to find a beautiful soap dish worthy of a Chanel bath soap! The best part is hearing there will be a powder puff though – so glamourous.

Wow, little luxuries that aren’t actually needed, but feels nice to have them!

I have the No 5 body oil and I’m so sad that it’s discontinued…I may have to splurge in the body cream 🙂

I’ve actually put a reminder in my diary….this is how sad I am….and how much I love Chanel No 5 lol
Chanel soap?! That sounds amazing! I’m actually in the market for a new hand soap – the one I’m currently using is drying out my skin like crazy.
Hi Jane, I am thinking of gifting such a soap to a friend who just bought the perfume, and was wondering if you’ve used yours much during the year? The Chanel beauty advisor suggested using a wet cloth to lightly “rub” the soap on both arms in the morning to fragrance & help her perfume bottle to last longer. Are you enjoying yours/ has it lasted long, or is it still sitting pretty?? 🙂
Hi there – they do last really well, but need daily use otherwise they dry out – don’t keep for ‘best’. x
Thanks a lot! x
