I had some kind of connection with this perfume before I even had it, like I used to have with almost all perfumes which I buy blindly. I don't know how it happens but first it's just a feeling that I would love the scent. After that I start to read everything possible about it and I have some kind of scent in my head, how it would smell. I close my eyes, I breathe deeply and I imagine it in my nose and in my brain. 1932 is everything which I was imagining. Beautiful crispy uplifting aldehydes with a hint of citruses in the opening, there is no Pear in it. Very delicate flowers are playing hide and seek with Iris which is overpowering the other florals from time to time but between times it hides itself and you can get innocent whiffs of the paltry yet indulgent fresh flower bouquet. I can't tell those flowers apart, it's like a pastel coloured flower painting where all the pigments are faded because of a lot of water. The complex base is that style which Chanel does well - clean vibes, among others white Musk, Sandalwood and a hint of Vanilla. Roughly divided there are three kind of powdery scents for me. The one is an abstract feeling of the modern loose powder, soft, clean, delicate and fluffy. The second one is a smell of a baby powder. I have encouraged people to buy one bottle of it if they don't know how it smells. It's a small investment to know that beloved and hated style of perfumes. The third one is a smell of an old powder which was mostly scented with Iris. The powdery smell in 1932 is the last one. It's that Chanel's well known Iris smell combined with aldehydes. Glamorous, sparkling, dry, a little bit shy and bewitching. Not so dry and cold than La Pausa but dry anyway accompanied by other beautiful flowers to add light pink and even light yellow and green colour to the baby blue and violet. This perfume is utterly tender, it easily gets buried among other scents. Only to try to wear it at my home is a mistake - if my intention is to enjoy it to the fullest. After I got this scent I worn it at home and asked an opinion of it from my husband. He said that it's nothing special and it's boring. Next day I worn it at the totally empty gym. He came near me and was asking "what is this amazing scent". This is best when worn in an air conditioned area. It's great outside as well but honestly it shines in clean air indoors whether it's the gym or the office. If you have tried this in some big department store there is a huge possibility that you didn't get the right character out of it. That is not only too full of different kind of scents but too noisy as well. Believe it or not it matters as well. Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
