Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chanel No 5 EDP

The ultimate classic, polarising with its unique blend of clean aldehydes and deep florals. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent; one that inspires both devotion and derision, but remains an icon for a reason. Don't blind buy, though.

Our Verdict - 126 Five EDP

No. 126 nods to Chanel No 5's aldehydic-floral structure - sparkling aldehydes over rose and jasmine on a soft sandalwood-vanilla base - but the aldehydes read thinner and the composition never reaches the original's dense, powdery grandeur.
