By the editors · 2 min readNew Look 2024 is austere by design — Francis Kurkdjian stripped the formula to three declared components, making sparseness the statement. Aldehydes open with their characteristic metallic-soapy shimmer, a deliberate callback to mid-century perfumery that echoes Dior's 1947 New Look collection.
Frankincense fills the heart with cool resinous smoke, lending the fragrance a ceremonial quality before amber closes things down in warm, woody resin. The result feels like an architectural sketch rather than a fully realized painting — for those who want a fragrance that announces restraint rather than abundance. Best on skin that amplifies warm notes; on cooler skin, the aldehydes may dominate longer than intended.
