Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris Poudre
This isn't just another floral-musk; it's a statement. Iris Poudre is a complex, old money scent that commands respect instantly. Don't expect playful, expect pure, unadulterated class.

Our Verdict - Chanel No 5 L'Eau
This is Chanel No 5's younger, cooler sibling - a modern, clean, citrusy take on a classic that's still unmistakably Chanel. Expect a fizzy, powdery freshness, but brace yourself for polarising longevity; some love it, others find it too fleeting for the price.
