New Look 1947
by Dior
A soft, powdery white floral with a delicate vanilla-benzoin base that unfolds into a velvety, aldehydic-hinted bouquet. It opens with a subtle spicy peppery note before blending into a cloud-like mix of gardenia, jasmine, rose, and tuberose, resulting in a ladylike elegance reminiscent of classic 1950s perfumery. The fragrance stays close to the skin, with moderate sillage and a beautiful, tender drydown that feels refined and understated. Though it doesn’t last long, the effect is deeply soothing and quietly luxurious—perfect for modern women seeking a refined, feminine scent that feels elegant without drawing attention.
Pros
- +A wonderfully delicate, softly powdered floral aura that feels timeless and elegant.
- +The vanilla-benzoin base gives a warm, gourmand depth without becoming cloying.

Cons

- −Some wearers find it overly powdery or slightly chemical on their skin.
- −It lacks strong projection and sillage, which may disappoint those seeking a bolder presence.
