What does New Look 1947 smell like?

Most voters call it feminine, with some reading it as classic or modern. It leans towards spring and summer, and fall suits it well too. Daily, leisure and business wear fit it best. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It has been discontinued.

Ylang-ylang opens with a bright floral note. The heart of rose, jasmine, tuberose and iris turns powdery and creamy, and the base of benzoin and vanilla sweetens it, while spicy and woody touches stay in the background and the fresh accord keeps it light. Dior Souffle de Soie and Dupetit Magnolia have a close profile.
