Someone brought in a vintage No 5 parfum bottle and another person brought in a vintage No 5 Eau de Cologne. Both where beautiful. We compared it to a new bottle and the new one is nowhere near as good. Now add this advert to the mix and you pretty much have the official death of a beautiful classic.
