Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Femme
Joop! Femme is a divisive, unapologetically loud 80s powerhouse. It's either a timeless, sophisticated stunner or an overwhelming, dated mess. You either get sensual incense and creamy woods, or straight-up barnyard civet. Test before you commit, this one's a wild ride.

Our Verdict - A Whiff of Five
This is Chanel No. 5 with a bit more edge, a bit more spice. If you like the classic aldehydic floral, but want it warmed up, this is your jam. Expect it to be divisive for the same reasons.
