Revolt No 5 EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Percival delivers sparkling, aromatic freshness with just enough woody warmth to feel polished and versatile. It is a confident, crowd-pleasing signature with niche refinement and mass appeal.
Revolt No 5 name-checks Chanel No 5 but is a very loose interpretation - it swaps the original's iconic aldehydic-floral bouquet of neroli, ylang-ylang and iris for a fresh bergamot-jasmine-lavender blend with no aldehydes at all. It's a decent unisex fresh-woody scent, but expecting anything close to No 5's abstract, powdery signature will disappoint.
