The Story
Eau de Parfum No. 5 is a modern take on the classic floral aldehyde genre, crafted by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz. It opens with a bright burst of aldehydes and citrus, then settles into a lush bouquet of jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang. The base is a warm, powdery blend of sandalwood, musk, and vanilla. It's elegant, timeless, and surprisingly wearable for everyday.
