The New York Times recently did a feature, “Old Stand-By’s, New Stand-ins,” about the standby beauty products that still deliver decades after they’re introduced. Check it out–it’s good stuff.

Here’s a list of some oldies but goodies my buddy, Elise Levyn asked me to pass along.

Chanel No. 5 – Launched in 1921: Coco Chanel created this fragrance after declaring that she wanted to come up with a scent for women that smelled like a woman.   The subtle scent includes Jasmine sourced from producers in Grasse, France, and is the standout note, but rose, patchouli, iris and ylang-ylang are also part of the blend.  SRP: $50 chanel.com
