I loved, loved this article! It was like peeking in at my mom's mind when she was a young adult! Thank you for giving me an early Christmas present! But I don't thing Shalimar is still the "it" fragrance. I think Angel is -not for me, but for a lot of my peers (early 40's) and the younger generation. The reason I say this is because its all I can smell around me here at work! LOL! And some people say history is boring! I loved, loved this article!
