The review
On paper, Ruby 34 is a reasonable bet if you want N°5 for less.
Oakcha sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is N°5's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 62% less than N°5 — the 2nd cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oakcha publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on aldehydes, ylang-ylang and neroli, turns to jasmine, rose and lily of the valley, and settles into sandalwood, vetiver and vanilla. That is the brief Ruby 34 is working from.

Aldehydic floral abstraction that invented modern perfumery and still smells like couture in a bottle.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

Of the 2 twins of Chanel N°5 we can price, Ruby 34 is number 2 on price per 100ml.
