Which Should You Buy?
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.
This is simply one of the best leather fragrances out there, a rich, complex scent that's been tragically discontinued. Owners love it, and if you can snag a bottle, prepare for an absolute masterpiece that'll turn heads and leave a lasting impression.
