EdP vs EdT
Nowadays, many fragrance houses in the mid to high price range tend to follow a well-received perfume with flankers, as is the case with Chanel.
Either they differ in concentration or they create changes to the original version while maintaining the core theme, sometimes with hints of another fragrance genre.
We fragrance lovers here are certainly interested in finding out whether the new one is really that different from the old one, in what ways, and: is it worth acquiring?
We make that last decision when testing. Personally, I always find the impressions of my fellow perfume enthusiasts here at Parfumo interesting before I get the scent under my nose.
The EdT version seems to be more complexly structured according to the listed fragrance notes in the pyramid. It is a herb-fresh-citrusy-floral-woody scent for the warmer season.
The same goes for the new EdP sister.
The EdT starts with a very herbaceous citrus kick that is certainly intensified by the cedar listed in the top notes. (I could never name that without knowing the fragrance pyramid).
The EdP starts citrusy, almost exclusively citrusy, without being herbaceous at first.
Very quickly, the flowers and woods of the base come into play in both versions.
The theme of the heart notes is equally jasmine in both. In my impression, it is the focal point of both sisters; however, it is a bit fresher and brighter in the EdT, which is surely achieved through water hyacinth and pepper.
In the EdP, the jasmine is soft-indolic - not as bright, but also not heavy.
The wood notes of the base are similar, with the EdP having a stronger amber impression, while the EdT seems a tad more powdery due to iris and musk.
The EdP feels overall softer and woodier, which might appeal more to those who find the herbaceousness of the EdT too much.
In the EdT, the herbaceous impression remains until the end.
When I smell both versions not in parallel, but with a certain time gap in between, I immediately recognize the strong similarity.
Nevertheless, there are typically very fine differences characteristic of Chanel. Some voices in the forums claim that the EdP is actually a completely different scent.
For me, the longevity is equally good for both, and the EdP also suits hot days.
