Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - N°5 L'Eau EDT

This is Chanel No 5's younger, cooler sibling - a modern, clean, citrusy take on a classic that's still unmistakably Chanel. Expect a fizzy, powdery freshness, but brace yourself for polarising longevity; some love it, others find it too fleeting for the price.

Our Verdict - 371 Chanel No 5 L'Eau EDP

371 is tagged on Zag's own site as a Chanel No 5 L'Eau clone, not the generic 'Chanel' its listing title implies - it borrows the aldehydic citrus opening but loses the original's polished, luminous drydown.

Its clean, fresh, and subtle sillage makes it highly suitable for office wear, and its lightness is perfect for casual settings. While it’s elegant enough for formal events, its intimate nature and perceived weak longevity by some make it less ideal for occasions where a bold statement is desired.
