Blossom Perfumery 126 Five is an Eau de Parfum. 126 Five opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Blossom Perfumery's 126 Five carries an Acquired verdict, an aldehydic-led wear.

No. 126 nods to Chanel No 5's aldehydic-floral structure - sparkling aldehydes over rose and jasmine on a soft sandalwood-vanilla base - but the aldehydes read thinner and the composition never reaches the original's dense, powdery grandeur.

About

Blossom Perfumery's No. 126 references the world's most famous fragrance shape: a fizzy aldehyde-neroli-ylang opening, a classic rose and jasmine heart, and a warm sandalwood-vetiver-vanilla base with a touch of musk and amber. The sparkling top note is a fair echo of Chanel No 5's signature aldehydic effect, and the rose-jasmine heart is pleasant and true to form. Where it can't compete is density - No 5 is famous for a rich, almost solid floral-powdery accord that builds for hours, while this version is airier and softer, fading to a simple musk-vanilla base well before the original would still be in full swing. A gentler, more casual nod to the icon rather than a substitute for it.
