"What do I wear to bed? Chanel #5 of course." ~Marilyn Monroe

I like #5. It had to grow on me. Today's popular scents for women tend to be more light with citrus or floral notes. I enjoy those but #5 has this staying power and after about 15 minutes, it begins to smell like a fresh powder more than anything else. I love it's potency and classic feel. I use it as a base scent. I'll spray it first followed by something else later.
