Top Ten Old-Fashioned, Non-Modern Fragrances?

I love things with an old-fashioned, distinguished, weighty, elegant, artistocratic twist to them - and that includes perfume. What would you say are the top 10 perfumes that could be described in such terms?
Anything that would pass as modern, too youthful, unisex, flirty in a "mall" kind of way, candy-trendy would constitute the exact opposite of what I am interested in. Others might be in between...but what are the top 10 old-fashioned, heavy-weights in your opinion?

Thank you so much for your responses. I just wanted to make a list that I would get to sample in time though i am pretty sure none would surpass #5 in my book, with the exception of maybe lasting power and sillage.

I tried Fracas last year and I wanted really badly to love it because of its strength and "weight"...but unfortunately, the reaction it has with my skin is quite bad. On the one hand I love its "old-fashion"-ness and distinction from today's ligh-weight, superficial fragrances- but on the other hand I have to admit it really stinks on me. My husband said yuck the moment he smelled it on my wrist, a few good hours after applying it.

I would have liked to have it take the role of "evening"perfume in my limited wardrobe but it is not going to happen. I am hoping to find one perfume that is as evening, weighty and prominent as Fracas...but is...not Fracas!

Speaking of Fracas...I also tried Baghari Fracas today and it seemed much more amenable than Fracas. A bit more soapy and not offensive. I looked for reviews but there's none. How do you find this one compared to Fracas in terms of lasting power, sillage as well as fragrance itself?...

So interesting to see how a perfume performs differently and comes off so differently for various people. When I first smelled Fracas, it instantly (and I mean INSTANTLY) reminded me of my grandmother's closet, her clothes, her ways ...and those of other women of her generation (though I am not sure she ever acutally had Fracas but I think she may have...I have vague memories of some black perfume bottles...).
To me it smells clearly like Old Europe - which is really nice on the one hand because I miss my childhood land...but on the other hand, when I try to use it myself, it just plain STINKS on me. And I wanted so badly to be able to pull this one off.
It is extremely heavy in a nauseating kind of way; and I am the type who actually prefers stronger perfumes, I tend to avoid the light and airy. Baghari was much better but still far from achieving that "million dollar" sensation that #5 does it on me. This #5 thing that I had avoided for years by virtue of a completely silly belief (OLP) smells unbelievably on me. I never iamgined this could have been exactly the smell I had been looking for - for years. I could literally bathe in this stuff.
My only problem is that I adore the fragrance so much I cannot help noticing its somewhat moderate strenth, power and sillage. Not the best I've seen in this regard. When I walk around with it, all I want to do is to just TALK to the perfume and tell it to JUST SAY IT LOUDER!!!!
On me, #5 performs very discreetly, it is a stay-close-to-the-body perfume...- very different from the "cloying/strong" smell reported by some. While some people love this quality (the discreet-ness), I prefer more spalsh. If only #5 could talk louder, like Fracas does, I would be in heaven.
But the fragrance itself is literally UNBEATABLE in terms of distinction and grace.

My goal is to discover all old-fashiony, elegant perfumes that are very, very close to Chanel #5. I would just like to at least know them all...

And speaking of Youth Dew and all other Estee Lauder fragrances. I tried them all once, about a year ago...and I had to conclude that this is a House with perfumes that aspire to be classy but end up in a mediocre, lowly, drug-store fragrance mess upon drydown. Definitely a house I will always stay away from.

Seattlelight and Margareta,

Thank you for the No 5 smell-alike tips - I will definitely try both Madame Rochas and Liu by Guerlain.

At lunch I went on another sniffing ride to try some other oldies.I thought I'd give Joy a try, as I heard it is in the same family as No 5. It was funny. I found it frilly and mediocre in an old-fashion way, a far cry from the authoritative, aristocratic No 5. Not even close - although I can still see how this is a floral.
There was a note in it that conjured images of a lower-middle class anglo woman (more American rather than Enlish), puritanical, with burgeois aspirations, the type who collects dolls, speaks in a high voice, is and lives in a far away suburban MacMansion decorated in kitchy Victorian style...

Bu contrast, No 5 evokes images of the quintessential lady, not exactly "pretty like a flower" in features, but so classy and well-bred that when she steps out of her car (or wherever she steps out from), all others just plain freeze.



I'll see who Madame Rochas and Liu will bring over...)

I never smelled Mary Kay anything because I never saw them anywhere; but from what I know about Mary Kay's image, I would stay very away ...anyway.

Margareta,

I will certainly try this one. I've been meaning to for a while because my mom mentioned it a few times and funnily enough, I remember LOVING, as a child, all fragrances my mom used to wear when she was young (No 5, L'Air du Temps and Madame Rochas). I am always surprised when I hear women saying that they don't want to smell like their mothers. I am the exact opposite, if I could smell EXACTLY like my mother used to when she was young and wearing all those hot perfumes - I would be SOOO happy. I just don't think I have her great chemistry.

So Madame Rochas is surely an upcoming sniff. Trouble is I don't know where to get it from. I haven't seen it anywhere. Who carries it?

OK...maybe I was a little harsh with Joy. I just re-smelled the little white card I sprayed and once it settles, IT IS better, though nowhere close to No 5. However, the first impression I got at the store was terribly frilly and lilac-smelling (though I don't think it's got such a note in it).

But you're right, I am no longer sure about the kitchy Victorian suburban housewife...

The only one I like from Patou is Sublime. The others are just plain...wrong.
