I recently got a vintage bottle of Chanel No. 5 EDT (pre-1976) to go alongside my extrait and EDC. As you would expect the scent profile doesn’t differ massively, I would say it follows closely more so to the extrait than any of the other flankers. It opens with the same iconic combination of soapy aldehydes with powdery orris and ylang, but here the scent is made much brighter with some additional focus on neroli, lemon and bergamot. I also find the Jasmine and lily-of-the-valley to be more prominent here, overall creating a much brighter and softer scent profile. To me personally, the notes of civet, patchouli and oakmoss are all completely undetectable in the base - this scent is more focused on bright airy florals. This is a magnificent scent which is perfect for spring, however I find the longevity is very poor - with my bottle at least.
