I think those kinds of changes happen more with the deeper musky notes than lighter citrus/floral fragrances.
That said, I'm a fan of No. 5. though I've never worn it myself. Here is some info I found on both fragrances to help you decide:
Coco is often said to be younger, sexier, more beguiling (Mysterious and provocative, a rich Oriental fragrance).
No. 5 is a base of rose and jasmine with a clean daring scent reminiscent of the pristine polar freshness. It is a classic. Chanel describes it as follows:
Created by Gabrielle Chanel to be the ultimate in femininity, N°5 has cast a spell on millions of women — and men — around the world. Inimitably luxurious and infinitely seductive, its legend lives, each year adding to its mystery, its depth, its desirability.
