Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No 5 Premiere Eau de Toilette
This is Chanel No 5 for the modern age: a sparkling, elegant take on a classic that retains its sophistication while ditching the 'dated' label. It's a universal crowd-pleaser, delivering timeless luxury with a contemporary twist.

Our Verdict - L'Aimant Eau de Parfum
Coty L'Aimant is either a timeless, affordable classic akin to Chanel No. 5 or simply a cheap, dated soapy mess. Its longevity and projection vary wildly, but it's universally agreed to offer serious bang for your buck if it hits right.
