06 - Chanel N°5 L’Eau EDT, from SGD140 for 35 ml A lighter and fresher interpretation of the sophisticated icon, this vibrant abstract floral features citrus, aldehydes, jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang and a dynamic base of vetiver and cedar. “It has that fresh, after-shower baby powder smell.” – Masaki L.
