Have you tried Cruel Gardenia by Guerlain? It's a floral musk that replicates the feel of those luxe soaps like Camay, Lux etc. It's quite lovely….<br />I think your best bet with Chanel No.5 might actually be the vintage Cologne version which is very Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-89922564667733723162014-07-13T19:27:11.979+01:002014-07-13T19:27:11.979+01:00Sopay, soapy...

I rememeber the first scent ever, it was Lux soap in my mom's laundry, and it somehow remained in some corner of my brain, because since ever I am looking for some soapy scent.
