This is a classic perfume. I believe that White Shoulders is one of the first fragrances produced by Evyan of New York City in 1945. It is a classic floral perfume. I sprayed this perfume on myself many years ago and I was hooked with its rich smell and I discovered that the fragrance lasted all day.I was nervous about purchasing it again since Evyan was sold to Elizabeth Arden and I had used up all my "Evyan originals." So I took a chance and bought it through Amazon. How pleased I was when I discovered that the formula was not changed and bought it at a great price.This is an incredible fragrance and I always get compliments when I wear it. No, it is not an "Old Ladies" perfume ANYONE can wear this fragrance.
