1932 Eau de Parfum

I don't know what is wrong with my nose but everytime when i use Chanel 1932, it smells like a lipstick. There is a powder and some floral notes but also lipstick is there so clearly.

This perfume satisfied a need I didn’t know I had. I’m not usually a Chanel perfume gal (let’s just say that way too many teenage girls were running around in the early 2000s wearing Coco or Chance- ruined it for me). But this fragrance, this is something. This is a clean, fresh little floral that will make you sparkle. This has just enough aldehydes to make it Chanel, but nowhere near enough to make you smell like your grandma. This is what I want to wear with a crisp white collar shirt and oversized pearl earrings. I layer it with body lotion that has a proper lotiony smell- just clean vibes all around. This is my next full bottle purchase.

I thought Pure Musc For Her smelled like funeral home. This does, too, but in a much more expensive smelling way. I had to look up what flower it is that is traditionally associated with funerals. “Lilies are often considered to be the classic flower for funerals. According to an article by Everplans (2021), when someone says ‘This place smells like a funeral home’, they most likely are thinking of the intense scent of lilies.” Both of those perfumes say “floral notes” so maybe to me that means lilies. It also smells mature; I ended up giving this sample to my mother-in-law.

I swear, every time I smell this perfume it smells different! I tend to get two "types" of scent profiles from this perfume. 1. Cooler weather - a simple, pear-like, fruity floral With a hint of the Chance series as well after the dry down This "profile" is absolutely office-appropriate to me, and very pretty 2. Warmer weather - or maybe "sweatier skin" - makes it smell like 31 Rue Cambon to me! But a lighter version of it, slightly more office appropriate The last time I tried this, it smelled exactly like 31 RC to me, and made me a little sad that I had two similar perfumes in my collection. It wasn't what I had smelled at first that made me decide it was worth adding to my collection. After having let it sit on my perfume shelf for months, I tried it again today - cooler day, showered, not sweaty at all - and now I'm getting the office-appropriate fruity floral vibes everyone is describing. So strange!

This has that classic Chanel DNA. It dries down a bit powdery/soapy with Iris and jasmin. The aldehides and citrus give it a freshness thats good for spring. After 20 minutes it morphs into a very subtle soft version of Chanel Allure. This frag also has a likeness to Doir Joy Intense. I also get a wisp of Coco Mademoiselle without the obnoxious patchouli. The more I wear this, the more I am liking it.
