N°5 by Chanel is a parfum that opens on aldehydes and ylang-ylang and settles into sandalwood, vetiver and vanilla. It reads mostly clean, floral and woody on our scent profile, at a strong strength. Its least common notes on our list are civet and may rose, in the floral aldehyde family. Below are the closest on our list. Similar isn't identical, so try a sample before a full bottle if you can.
