La Collection Couturier Parfumeur New Look 1947

i would like to greet Henri345que for the great review La Collection Couturier Parfumeur New Look 1947 is a perfect creation .. usually um not big lunches fan anyway, and most of the descriptions left me cold. leather,big Oriental,soft flora, and Citrus aromatic, more Colognes... ummmm, no, thanks. um all stocked up .. accidentally few months back i was at Dior's counter when it catches my eyes i was curious about available bottle sizes , 450 ml !! WOW .. i tried it on and for a second i thought um smelling Kenzo Flower !! foolish-y expected YEK .. i luve KENZO Flower , but this is a not well-done copy, left without trying the rest .. forgot all about it , few hrs later i felt there is somthing soft and sweet flirting with my nose .. realizing it was Dior New Look 1947 was a surprise!! simply perfect .. never been a floral gurl , but there is somthing ORIENTAL about this scent , sweet balanced oriental ,how ever i was expecting quiet white floral draped in fields of petals .. nothing floral here , i would say its Oriental vanilla with a weak structure of light iris .sweet iris fine made .somthing here takes me to the PRADA Infusion d'Iris dry down despite the heavy incense note of Infusion d'iris , nothing bold about NEW LOOK 1947 , soft , sweet , balanced , and warm creation for a pretty lady . nothing old about this fragrance , screams of femininity . i got my bottle next day and enjoying every drop of it ! 10/10

This was an immediate love, from the first whiff out of the bottle, to spray on the paper card, to walking around on my wrist, and finally, the big splurge. I got the small bottle, which is not so small at 4.25 oz. I almost caved to the larger one as Bergdorf was having their big spring beauty sale, and looking back, maybe I should have as I am finding myself going through a lot, everyday. I find myself spritzing 4-5 times per day. I realize I am going overkill on this and perhaps offending all the people I work with in the process - but probably not as this fragrance is not strong at all. To give you an idea, I compared to Coco, which was my signature scent 15 years ago. As an experiment I picked up a sample at Sephora and tested it for the day - Coco on one arm, 1947 on the other. Coco lasted all day, perhaps a plus in some people's book - but gave me a massive, massive headache in the process. I can't believe it used to be my signature, maybe I was more tolerant, back then! 1947 is none of the overpowering headache, just pure floral elegance. 1947 is not a scent for someone trying to make a huge statement walking in the door, nor trying to overtly seduce - instead, to be subtly disarming.

Stunning!! Very well blended and unlike Kilian’s VVCAM or Chanel N°5 - the Ylang doesn’t dominate the composition but it is present. I’m experiencing the powdery Iris and Jasmine more than the other florals. New Look 1947 is so well blended it feels as if the florals are waltzing, each flower takes a turn in the lead with the vanillic benzoin. When I first received it in the mail it did not project very much. I find the New Look 1947 does a good job nodding to the past without smelling dated. After allowing the bottle to settle for two days and spraying in a concentrated way rather than all over ( 3 sprays on inner wrist and inner elbows of each arm) has created a wonderful scent bubble) ***Tangent; Never catch and release! Fragrances need time to settle after shipping. All fragrances will perform better after a few uses. Most times our senses need to get used to a fragrance before we can fully experience all the notes the fragrance has to offer.

I wanted to add to my previous review (below) and address those who say they are not noticed when wearing this perfume. This is true - this is not a big sillage-statement perfume. It is an up close and personal perfume. Think of trajectory here - are you trying to project outwards? Or draw people in - that is, the right people ... or person. I wore this on a date recently ... and once the gentleman came a bit closer (ahem), it made him want to come in even closer. Like a nice surprise waiting just for him, once he got close enough. Get it? Not the big marquee lights saying "everyone, pay attention" ... but a velvet rope experience... and what is on the other side. This perfume is about exclusivity.

2010 release batch!!! 0V1E Wow, my first response is how dare they discontinue this, the tuberose-jasmine combo is so beautifully executed, creamy white floral, gorgeous. Reminds me mum of Nana's Chanel number 5 from way back when 🥲 Intoxicating, I can't get my wrist out of my face, and the sillage is to DIE for, I don't know what they used here to add a touch of fruitiness but I'm detecting a slight lychee note in the opening, glorious glorious perfumery, Kurkdijian's take on this is as graceful as a plane landing with no wheels. @curlgurl I'm a man, an adult male human, hear me say, it ain't cute and it ain't cool anyone can wear this as long as it makes you happy, f the h8rs, be who you are 🤍
