Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ylang 49 EDP
Ylang 49 is a divisive, full-bodied chypre floral. It's a proper grown-up scent for those who crave a bit of vintage drama, but beware: its potent sillage and enduring power aren't for the faint-hearted. It’s either a grand statement or a headache waiting to happen.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Gabrielle Parfum
This is Chanel's polished, grown-up take on white florals, a dense and opulent bouquet that many consider the definitive Gabrielle. While some find it too heavy or generic, proponents praise its luxurious blend and lasting power, often calling it a step up from previous versions.
