What do reviewers say about Chanel N°22 and No 22 Parfum?
N°22 doesn't do subtlety for the first hour. Aldehydes crackle, florals lean heavy, and there's an austere mineral coolness underneath that some find regal and others find challenging.Chanel N°22
Aldehydes are not a subtle material. N°22 knows this and uses that flash, bright, almost cold, to make the powdery florals feel like a secret kept close, rather than a performance staged for the room.No 22 Parfum
