Bill Blass fragrances


A new Bill Blass fragrance launched recently.
The original version pictured bottom right, was a longtime favorite of mine for many years back in the 80s. It was almost a signature frag. and often a gift from my friends who knew how I liked it.
These days I don't really wear it, but still have a bottle. Many of the fragrances I wore years ago at a young age, aren't to my liking these days, with the exception of Chloe.

The original Blass was a sharp white floral. It's a big fragrance, although not as " big " as some other 80's notables like Jardins De Bagatelle, are to me. I suppose it's a softer, big fragrance.
The other notes, besides the flowers, are cinnamon and sandlewood.


The new one, pictured above, is also a floral, decsribed as having purely floral notes with some grassy touches. Notes are: Neroli, galbanum, and green mandarin at the top. Middle notes : white Hyacinth, lily of the Valley,tuberose and jasmine. It sounds very nice.

It has been described on makeupalley as a very lily fragrance with a bit of an aquatic note.


Exclusive to Saks right now, I look forward to a test of this.
1.3 oz edp is 65.00
