Parfum reviewed.
Opens with a bergamot, galbanum and sour pear.Jasmine, orchid and gentle gardenia comes in next. Its understated, transitions well, not an attention grabber but cleanly polished. well done but not my style.

Overall classy, pleasant, and safe. The opening smells like spring. I don’t get any of the fruity top notes, just greenery and powdery iris root. The flowers really shine as the perfume starts to warm on my skin, and it becomes warmer and softer throughout the day. I’d say there are many other similar perfumes, but this one is of a higher quality than most. No blast of alcohol in the top, no synthetic sharpness, and every element seems properly balanced. I like it enough that I’ll probably use up my Scentbird sample as the weather warms, but once it’s finished, I don’t think I’ll miss it enough to buy more.

Smelled this for the first time today. It was ok. Pretty but very ordinary. I have smelled the same notes in so many different fragrances. I would never be able to pick this perfume out of a lineup. I definitely don’t see the need to buy it especially given the high price point for something so generic.

It definitely has a classic vibe, it is a greenish floral scent, I diidnt think it was outstanding, but if you want an easy to wear, not in your face floral, it might work..I don’t fnd it sweet one bit, it has a aldehydic opening, made me think of Balmain Ivoire, without the soapy vibe..l liked it, but didn’t try it long enough to enjoy it fully !!

‘Norell New York’ is an ethereal green-floral composition which carries with it an air of elegant sophistication and class. The opening is mouthwateringly sweet, with a heavy dose of pear. It is accompanied by a faint hint of bitter-green galbanum, juicy mandarin, and bracing bergamot. I sensed an almost crystalline sugar note within this opening, as if smelling candied fruit. The heart of the composition is floral dominated with intoxicating orchid, redolent gardenia, indolic jasmine (said to contain 200 petals per bottle), and elegant peony. It is predominantly a white floral accord with orchid and peony adding contrast, smelling mature and sophisticated. The base notes include orris butter (derived from iris root), vetiver, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. For the majority of the life of the fragrance on the skin the floral notes dominate, but in time it dries down to a warmer woody, musky scent.
‘Norell New York’ is overall a lovely fragrance. It seems positioned to be well liked and appreciated by a more mature female audience. The scent itself feels appropriate for a woman who has gained a beautiful inward confidence through years of life experiences. As an “eau de parfum” the fragrance performs excellently, with above average sillage, projection, and longevity. With its predominant floral accord, this perfume seems most appropriate for spring and summer wearings, however it is a universally attractive scent and can be clearly utilized for wearing during the colder months of the year as well. For those with a thirst for the ultra luxurious and exclusive, Norell has also released the fragrance in a limited edition flacon created by the prestigious Baccarat crystal house of France (picture above). Only 500 were created, each handcrafted and further add to the refined elegance and sophistication of this modern perfume.

The prominent notes to me are the sandalwood, musk, gardenia, vetiver, and the bergamot. After the initial spray, the peony becomes also part of the prominent notes. It’s a very lovely, feminine, and creamy fragrance. Not too faint or too strong. Fans of Cashmere Mist, Heavenly, Glowing, Love Chloe and Narciso are most likely going to enjoy this. The vanilla is detectable and makes the fragrance a tad sweet. A perfume that is warm, perfect for the Fall. Nice fragrance. It’s worth trying.

A pleasant fragrance, but nothing particularly bold or memorable. It’s light, clean, fresh and has a sparkling quality, similar to the effervescence of aldehydes, but.. without the aldehydes. I think the freshness of it, and the green/citrus qualities are reminiscent of pine. But there’s only a dash of that pine freshness under the romantic, feminine florals that dominate the scent. For some reason, it reminds me of holidays and Christmas shopping and champagne.

Very nice but a pale shadow of the original Norell with which it has very little in common. If you are an admirer of the original perfume and want to find out how the new version relates to the vintage one, then compare the original Ivoire to the recent Balmain creation carrying the same name. They are very little similar, if not at all. I find the new Norell beautiful but common, nothing to write home about. Elegant but ordinary. The Josephine Catapano cologne was a masterpiece. The Celine Barel eau de parfum seems like a Ford next to Catapano’s Bentley. The longevity is decent and so is the sillage. Is it worth the $150.00 price tag? Not really, but still it is so much better than most of the other new fragrances launched recently.

So after wearing this for a couple days, I’m loving it more and more. I still get the same notes that was listed in my other review, so not much has changed there. I will say that it does feel a little retro or vintage though. Not in the vintage Norell sense, but just a bit of old fashioned elegance if you know what I mean. I really don’t see why this is a “floral green” scent; to me that would be Chanel No.19, but to my nose they don’t share any similarities. Norell New York is more floral-oriental to me or it could be how it develops on my skin making it that way.
I get moderate sillage on the dry down; it is heavy at first though. The longevity on my skin is 7+ hours. I think the new Norell is a classy, albeit modern with some retro facets, take on the original.

I love the new Norell. It is classy, feminine, unique and definitely offers a break from all those fruity sweet fragrances ! I am usually not a fan of green floral fragrances, but I just love this one. And I already received a lot of compliments and the sillage is huge.

Well, I got my blind buy today and I’m quite pleased with it. I don’t get much in the top notes and it doesn’t smell “green” to me. I do get the floral heart and the warm base. I mostly smell the peony, jasmine and a little bit of orchid in the heart. The dry down is cozy and sensual; I get mostly vanilla, sandalwood and orris. I haven’t tested it enough to comment about longevity and sillage as I came home to it after work.
I will say that lovers of the original Norell may not like this version. This one is definitely more “modern” so the vintage feel is gone. However, I will say that it’s nice and probably better suited to everyday wear versus the original. I will update as I’ll more time to spend with it later during the week.
