NEW YORK '55
'Rock'n'roll, soda fountains, ice cream and candy, with circular skirts and mohair sweaters thrown in'
New York '55 was made with vintage fans in mind, to match the look with the fragrance. It seemed to use that if you were going to go to the trouble of dressing like you're in New York in 1955, you might like to wear a fragrance that placed you back in the right decade.
The perfume that inspired us was vintage Chantilly, and although this doesn't smell like the 1948 Houbigant classic, its exhuberance, flounciness, sweetness and full, generous fragrance seemed to capture something that was lost in the simpler, underdressed 60s and 70s.
It's structured undergarments are musks which were available at the time; it's heart is rose, raspberry and violet, and its top notes are fresh citrus juices and a dollop of creamed candy floss.
Top note: Cotton candy; middle notes are Raspberry, Violet and Rose; base notes are Vanilla and Musk.
Why you will love it:
The opening of New York '55 is a playful burst of candy floss, reminiscent of sweet treats enjoyed on a sunny day. This sugary note is brightened by the freshness of citrus, creating an uplifting and cheerful start that evokes a sense of joy and nostalgia.
As the fragrance settles, the heart reveals a beautiful blend of raspberry, rose, and violet. The raspberry adds a juicy, fruity sweetness that perfectly complements the romantic floral notes. The rose brings a classic elegance, while the violet adds a soft, powdery touch that enhances the overall femininity of the scent.
In the dry-down, New York '55 transitions into a warm, comforting base of vanilla and musk. The vanilla provides a creamy sweetness that lingers on the skin, while the musk adds depth and a soft, skin-like quality. Together, these notes create a cozy and inviting finish that makes the fragrance feel intimate and personal.
This unisex fragrance is perfect for those who appreciate nostalgic scents with a modern twist. It's versatile enough for both day and night wear, making it an ideal choice for any occasion. Whether you're dressing up for a night out or simply enjoying a casual day, New York '55 adds a touch of vintage charm to your fragrance collection.
