N°5 Chanel 1921 Eau de Cologne

Chanel N°5 was for me always the Eau de Toilette version of my grandma. I found that as a child in the 70s floral-old fashionable.
Then, in the course of my perfume workshop at 4160Tuesdays, I had the opportunity to look around the Vintage Vault. And there we were able to discover the Eau de Cologne version. That was a real enlightenment. Floral-old-fashioned, my ass! But so not! This is probably how the fabled number 5 was supposed to be: The flacon was from the late 40s, the fragrance perfectly preserved, Mademoiselle Chanel's spirit dwelling among us.
Probably she also spoke to me, only I was so intoxicated that I can no longer remember exactly:)-
Hardly back from London, I have then organized me 2 Flakons, you never know...
The EdC is much less floral than the EdT, less sweet for it drier, aldehydiger. More Roaring 20ies than demure 50s. More Jersey dress than Dior bodice. And thus resolutely modern, timeless, and elegant.
Subsequently, the Vintage Extrait version had to come along for comparison purposes, for purely scientific comparison purposes, of course....
The Extrait is of course also a dream, but closer to the body. The EdC has more sillage, shoulder pads, so to speak. Otherwise, they are but very similar, since not so blümerant as the EdT.
Overall, the wearer - or even the wearer - but should be close to the aldehydes and also not allergic to white flower, because a floral base can not be denied, albeit modern processed.
One of my Holy Grails to land back in the diction of the present and end the trance state!
