Which Should You Buy?
This is Chanel N°5 for the modern age: utterly gorgeous and elegant, often described as a lighter, fizzier, less 'scream-y' version of the original. Prepare to be complimented. Beware of reformulations.
A divisive but utterly luxurious floral aldehyde. Some find it a timeless masterpiece, a more ethereal No 5, while others struggle with its 'old-fashioned' soapy intensity. It is undeniably Chanel, and not for the faint of heart.

Occasions
Its bold aldehydes and significant sillage make it a statement, better suited for evenings and special events than a quiet office. However, its clean, soapy facets do lend it some versatility for daytime wear in moderation, assuming a light hand with the sprayer.
