Finding reviews of Klim perfumes is not so simple - this fragrance was popular in the 60-70s of the last century, so it has survived only in our memories. For many women, the Climat perfume from Lancôme is a symbol of an era, because during the Soviet Union, he was almost the only representative of advanced French perfumes. It was so in demand that it stood on almost every dressing table in the country, and now invariably evokes pleasant associations from the past.
"Klima" were so sophisticated, balanced and multifaceted that they literally aroused admiration for everyone. The modern replica quite accurately reproduces the amazing combination of floral composition and aldehydes, but, of course, can not be compared with the original in terms of richness of bouquet and durability. However, according to reviews, the spirits of "Klima" in the updated interpretation are quite worthy of attention and provide a rare opportunity to join the true perfume legend.
History of creation
According to the creators, the perfumery of the fashion brand Lancôme was intended for mature women who took place and understood what they want from life. All flavors, without exception, were luxurious, expensive, delightfully sophisticated. In 1967, under the guidance of the famous perfumer Gerard Goupey, Climat was created - a unique, deep, incredibly feminine. The flower-aldehyde pyramid was based on another famous smell, popular several decades earlier - the 1932 Worth Je Reviens. Being impressed, Gopi added fresh notes, turned on the sound of aldehydes and received completely new perfumes - “Klima”, reviews of which are still so far they are not silent.
Due to the fact that the production of perfume was located in Poland, the fragrance was the first officially approved for sale in the USSR. The cherished bottle was the object of desire of almost all Soviet women of that era. The fragrance charmed from the first breath, bewitched, evoked love. Famous critics called it the perfumery phenomenon.
Unfortunately, the Climat century was short-lived: production was stopped in the mid-70s. However, a few years later, the Lancôme brand decided to recreate vintage aromas that were popular in the past, of course, Klima was among them. The current edition was inferior to the original in terms of durability and saturation, but was favorably received by customers. Versions of 1983, 2005, 2015 are somewhat different from each other.
Analog Climat from the factory "New Dawn"
In 2002, the Moscow factory "New Dawn" released its own version of the legendary aroma. The perfumery composition reminds an original vintage perfume, but nevertheless differs from it. According to reviews, the perfume "Klima" from "New Dawn" smell tart and bright, the smell is rich and rare. At first, the fragrance seems harsh, but gradually opens on the skin, becoming softer, warmer and noble. Intends for mature women, and for young girls is categorically not suitable.

The composition opens with floral notes of jasmine, violet, lily of the valley, daffodil, delicate bitterness of bergamot and the delicate sweetness of peaches. The heart of the fragrance shimmers with notes of rosemary, tuberose and aldehydes. A long, luxurious train carries with itself the subtle sound of ambergris, musk, vetiver, sandalwood.
2015 version
The updated version of 2015 is as close as possible to the original and fairly reliably reproduces the true flavor of Climat. The perfume was released in a circulation of only three thousand copies, and each bottle had its own unique number. In reviews of the Klim perfume in a new interpretation, buyers note its exceptional tenderness. Voiced initial notes consist of peach, violet, bergamot and aldehydes. Then they go into the middle chords of jasmine, daffodil, lilies of the valley, languid irises and May roses. The composition is crowned by the aroma of vetiver, musk, ambergris, sandalwood.
The new fragrance sounds elegant, aristocratic and confirms the proud status of a masterpiece. He wraps in thin, crispy notes of aldehydes, warms, like a soft, fluffy shawl. Refined, expensive aroma enchants with delicate, as if powdered daffodils, and invariably causes pleasant nostalgia - almost all reviews testify to this.
