Which Should You Buy?
Estee is a proper old-school floral醛 powerhouse, a love-it-or-hate-it classic that's been butchered by reformulations. Sniff a vintage bottle for the true aldehyde, oakmoss, and honey magic; the new stuff just doesn't hit the same.
A powdery aldehydic dupe of the world's most famous perfume, Chanel Nº 5. The jasmine-rose heart is recognisable; the sandalwood-oakmoss base lacks the density of the Chanel original.
