Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - N°5 Premiere Eau de Toilette

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.

Our Verdict - N°22 Eau de Parfum

A legendary aldehydic white floral from Chanel that’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect pristine elegance that’s often called 'timeless' by its devotees but 'dated' by its detractors. It’s certainly not for everyone, but if it clicks, it’s pure magic.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

While its initial burst can be quite strong, its sophisticated and clean drydown makes it suitable for formal settings and dates, projecting an elegant aura. Its classic allure and potential for strong sillage make it less ideal for casual wear or the office, where subtler scents are usually preferred.
