A Whiff of Five

Swiss Arabian A Whiff of Five is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. A Whiff of Five opens with Aldehydes, Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Civet, Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Swiss Arabian's A Whiff of Five carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its sophisticated woody and white floral accords, combined with a noticeable sillage and longevity, make it ideal for formal events and evening dates. The same strength means it's a bit much for casual wear or the office, where it might overwhelm.

About

Opens with a shimmering burst of aldehydic brightness, lifted by sparkling lemon and bergamot, softened immediately by opulent neroli and ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a lush bouquet of rose, lily of the valley, and jasmine, rich and heady. The dry down introduces a warm, animalic depth with civet and musk, grounded by earthy vetiver and patchouli, softened by creamy sandalwood and a touch of sweet vanilla and amber. It's a complex, evolving scent.
