Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Femme Eau de Parfum
Joop! Femme is a divisive, unapologetically loud 80s powerhouse. It's either a timeless, sophisticated stunner or an overwhelming, dated mess. You either get sensual incense and creamy woods, or straight-up barnyard civet. Test before you commit, this one's a wild ride.

Our Verdict - No 5 Cologne
Chanel No 5 Eau de Cologne is far from being the 'old lady' scent some sniff at; this particular vintage concentration is a civet-rich, aldehydic powerhouse that commands attention. It's a classic for a reason, if you can get your hands on a well-preserved bottle.
