Our Verdict

Chanel No 5 and Milton-Lloyd's Vogue share a similar DNA, but Vogue is a budget-friendly alternative that captures No 5's essence without the high price. The key difference lies in the overall composition; No 5 boasts a more refined and complex blend, while Vogue offers a bolder, more straightforward take on the classic aldehyde floral. If you appreciate the core of No 5 but want a more accessible and affordable option, Vogue is a great choice. However, No 5 has a richness and complexity that Vogue can't match.

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 - Vogue EDT
Milton-Lloyd's Vogue is an absolute powerhouse, a 'granny perfume' (in the best way) that smells far more expensive than its tiny price tag. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who love bold, classic florals, it's an undeniable winner and a seriously impressive nod to a certain iconic aldehyde.
