When I was younger, I wore 22 and 19 more youthful scents.. did not even like #5. Now that I am 51 I find 5 heady and wonderful.
As for "grand ma" smells you all seem to talk about.
Many times older folks smell of bad perfume because the perfume they use has been around 20 -30 years.. so that really makes it stale.. you gotta wear "fresh" if it hangs around a while.. it smells bad...Sort of turns racid..In its fresh form.. #5 is classic, and classy.. I love it!
