Which Should You Buy?
Divisive. While some rave about its luxurious clean scent and impressive longevity, an equal number are put off by a persistent 'latex balloon' or 'baby wipes' accord. Try before you buy, unless you really, really love fancy rubber.
Balanced and versatile, 5th Element's subtle fresh spiciness delivers a modern twist on a classic scent, perfect for everyday wear.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its strong projection and clean, energising profile make it excellent for casual wear or sport, evoking a 'fresh out of the shower' feeling. However, for formal settings or the office, its boldness might be a bit much, especially given the polarising notes some detect.
Seasons
The warm spicy and woody accords of 5th Element make it suitable for fall and spring when temperatures are moderate. It may be less ideal for the extremes of summer and winter.
Occasions
With moderate projection and a subtle fresh spicy character, this fragrance works well in casual settings and for date nights. It's also appropriate for office wear, though may not stand out at formal events.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fresh Spicy, Citrus accords and Bergamot, Orange notes
