I remember creeping into her room to try it out, and then being told off for leaving the stopper off, in case it evaporated! There was always a bottle sitting on her dressing table in the same position, as there was an oblong No.5- shaped stain in the walnut veneer underneath, where it had seeped. So my father always kept her topped up with the same size bottle to cover it up!Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431373905644031318.post-13660748873351041182013-01-11T09:43:01.556-08:002013-01-11T09:43:01.556-08:00Thank-you, Becky.

Just rediscovering Caleche, which my mother-in-law gave me a beautiful bottle of once, in a fabulous silk-lined box that I still have. I can never understand why we wore Brut?! We all did at school and I had a colleague who still wore it in the late 80's along with Giorgio, which was often banned from restaurants as the fragrance was so overpowering! xLottie Johanssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090240383317801705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431373905644031318.post-22394669379491265442013-01-11T05:41:58.330-08:002013-01-11T05:41:58.330-08:00I read with a tear in my eye. It is so true I can ... I read with a tear in my eye. It is so true I can picture myself right now as a child. For me Worth will always have me sent straight back to my childhood, a fragrance that my mother wore when I was growing up. Having just read "Vogue on Chanel" I found myself being transported back to the early 80's when I had saved up to buy a bottle of No 5 - thinking at the time that I was finally grown up by wearing such a heady fragrance Mentioning this to my husband I came home yesterday to find.......a bottle of No 5 on my dressing table (actually eau premiere which is still the same deep tones with a silky feel to it) - what a treat! And yes so smiling, Elnett - recently found myself needing hairspray and each time I spray it takes me back to my teens. And then there was brut........ Wonderful article, thank you xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677082189209373965noreply@blogger.com
