Edited to add:
In researching White Shoulders, I came across this link explaining why the older perfumes don't smell as good today. It boils down to cheaper ingredients. Too bad.

I really like Cool Water: Woman. We got free samples with a kit when I moved into the dorms back in the day and a lot of the girls didn't want theirs for various reasons (already had perfume, weren't going to use it, etc) so I have a lot of little vials of it (enough to add up to a small bottle).
White Shoulders reminds me of my grandmother. She had a box of White Shoulders powder she would let me use after bathtime when we stayed at her house. It's one of the few pleasant memories I have of her any more.
