- Is the EDP different from the original No. 5?
- Yes. The EDP is fuller and warmer, with more vanilla and sandalwood, while the original eau de toilette is lighter and more aldehydic. The Parfum is the richest and most expensive concentration.
- How long does it last?
- Most wearers get a full day from a few sprays on skin, and longer on clothing. The drydown stays noticeable into the evening.
- Is it unisex?
- It is marketed to women, but the woods and vanilla base make it wearable by anyone who likes powdery florals. Test it first if you prefer fresh or citrus scents.
- What is in the sample?
- A small vial of the Eau de Parfum, enough for several wearings. It is not a spray bottle, so dab it on pulse points.
- Is it good for warm weather?
- It performs best in cool weather and evenings. In heat the aldehydes and powder can feel heavy, so apply lightly.
- How should I store it?
- Keep the vial upright, capped and away from sunlight and heat. A drawer or box is better than a bathroom shelf.
