Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenL eau d Issey brings floral; Chanel No 5 Eau de Toilette brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.

  • A shared threadFresh and white floral run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Chanel No 5 Eau de Toilette in fall and winter and L eau d Issey in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Chanel No 5 Eau de Toilette is moderate on both, L eau d Issey moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
