Chanel, like other special perfumes, is wonderful and operates on the person smelling it like a pheromone. If you want to possess it and are prepared to pay for it, it's worth it until you can't afford it, in which case it's just out of your price range. Of course, if you're looking at it from a financial perspective, then it's not worth it. The cost of Chanel perfume is so high that only celebrities and rich people could ever afford it. And even they wouldn't think so. The brand is so famous that copies of its products are sold under different names all over the world. But they aren't Chanel, they aren't bought by anyone except the counterfeiters themselves. So, technically, none of these items can be called true Chanel perfume because they don't contain the same ingredients as the real thing. However, they do give off a similar smell, which means there must be some quality in them. The fact is that no one can copy what Chanel has created. Their perfume is unique and it will always be worth it. Even if you can't afford it now, maybe someday you will.
