Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 5th Avenue Eau de Parfum
A divisive floral classic that people love for its sophisticated charm or dismiss for its perceived cheapness. Expect a clean, elegant scent, but be warned: reformulations mean many find it's lost its former beast-mode glory.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Narcisse Eau de Parfum
Divisive, loud, and utterly 90s, Chloe Narcisse is a love-it-or-hate-it explosion of sweet, spicy florals. A true discontinued masterpiece for some, a cloying headache for others.

Season and Occasion Fit

5th Avenue Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, inoffensive floral profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear. Despite some finding it perfect for formal events, mentions of its weaker modern performance mean it's unlikely to be a showstopper for a big night out.

Narcisse Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage mean Narcisse is not suited for most offices, though a light hand might make it work. The rich, sweet floral-spicy profile makes it fantastic for dates and formal events, and it's celebrated by reviewers as a scent for 'real things that people do with one another'.
