Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Long description:
Every minute, someone buys an Art Deco-inspired, amber-hued bottle of Chanel No. 5 to the tune of more than half a million bottles a year. Considering that nearly ninety years have passed since No. 5s creation, this statistic alone makes a compelling case for the perfumes stature as the worlds most famous. However, its cultural impact might be even more staggering than its business success: Andy Warhols silk-screened version of bottle helped to make its image iconic; Mitch Ryders Devil in a Blue Dress famously wore it; and, when Marilyn Monroe was asked what she wore to bed, she replied, with more than a hint of flirtation: Why, Chanel No. 5 of course. Adding to the perfumes prestige, some of the most glamorous actresses of our age, including Catherine Deneuve, Nicole Kidman, and Audrey Tautou, have been its official face. We all know the story of Coco Chanel, but how much do we actually know about her signature perfumea fragrance that has enjoyed remarkable success for nearly a century?
