- How does the Eau de Parfum differ from the Eau de Toilette?
- The Eau de Parfum is fuller and warmer, with more jasmine, rose and sandalwood, and it generally lasts longer. The Eau de Toilette is crisper and lighter, closer to the original aldehydic formula.
- Is this the original 1921 No 5?
- No. This is the Eau de Parfum version, a richer reinterpretation of the original. The original Parfum and the Eau de Toilette are separate concentrations with their own character.
- How long does it last on skin?
- Most wearers get a full day from the Eau de Parfum, with the base lingering on clothing. Longevity varies with skin type and how much is applied.
- Is it too strong for everyday wear?
- It can be. The sillage is noticeable, so many wearers use one or two sprays for daytime and save more for evenings.
- What does it smell like?
- A floral aldehydic: a bright, slightly soapy opening, a heart of jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang, and a warm sandalwood and vanilla base.
- Is it a good gift?
- It is a safe gift for someone who likes classic florals, but risky for shoppers who prefer light, modern or gourmand scents.
