modern fragrances

I received my first Chanel N°5 parfum for my 30th birthday and 10 years later, it's still one of my favorite fragrances. This is not the type of light fruity/woody/solar scent that's so popular now; it's a complex, almost heavy mix of florals that started the trend of multi-layered fragrances. ...The ylang-ylang scent reminds me of my childhood and the overall statement of this fragrance is just 'sophistication'. It lasts a long time too.
