Beautiful Complex Musk Fragrance

This beautiful scent is like a airy breeze that just caresses your senses with it's multi faceted complex scent accords. It shimmers on your skin showing notes of white musk, bergamot, iris, neroli, cedar and regal powdery touches sweetened by honey.

When you first spray the scent upon your skin you are greeted with fresh sparkling aldehydes closely followed by orange blossom. These aldehydes do weave in and out of the scent during the course of it's evolution. But the star of the show is the musks which blend beautifully with all the other subtle notes.

The projection is within arms length and it does have decent sillage and a distinct presence over it's long life of over several hours.

I'm quite impressed , it's a clean refreshing complex light breezy scent that tantalizes your senses with it's beautiful aromas. Big thumbs up!

Smell and sleep scent

Aw... Very sleepy, calming one. So suitable for bedtime! It has aldehydes start than honey+ lots of baby powder. That also remembered me baby shampoo. Its mature, calming, relaxing, sleepy. Reminds me the scent of Alberto Morillas done= by Kilian Voulez Vouz Coucher Avec Moi. Also Tom Ford Metallique. White musky, powdery honey. Makes me sleepy aw. Like doing bath and relaxed. Sometimes it can be too much /overpowering when you over spray.

Opulence

This fragrance is both beautiful and delicate. I’m always looking for the perfect opportunity to wear an all white or ecru outfit to match the creamy and powdery notes in this fragrance.

A sure compliment getter! (I’ve never worn this and not gotten at least one compliment).

Makes me feel clean and dainty. Pricey! But I’m glad to have this in my collection.

Class beyond words

Not one of a kind in terms of scent profile but it is the best of the best. Sophisticated and classy, Chanel DNA is rich in 1957, probably the most out of all Les Exclusifs.

There is no wrong occasion to wear it, it fits in daily life, lifting you out of drab gloomy corpo life, but also shines as an evening spectacle.

Like I said, powder, musk and iris isn't a new concept, but it is blended so well and so elegantly that it seems ethereal compared to the others.

Easily my favourite of my collection and one I will buy over and over.

White musk, very white, clean, actually very clean. It's truly beautiful in its simplicity. Simplicity that shouldn't be confused with banality, because the scent is anything but banal. So what does it smell like? The opening is sparkling and crystalline with bergamot, aldehydes, a touch of honey and talcum powder, all wrapped in white musk, then settles on the scent of luxurious soap, of freshly washed and bleached sheets. While it's true that the dominant scent is that of soapy white musks and aldehydes, it's also true that these clean notes are masterfully accompanied and supported by truly sublime, delicate powdery and floral notes that smell good and pure without being synthetic; and this is precisely the most important aspect of 1957... despite the genre, the scent never feels chemically overdone, but always delivers a very pleasant and "natural" scent. It's 101% Chanel, from the olfactory notes to the finish. The scent isn't overpowering or overpowering; it's just strong enough to be noticeable and leave a pleasant bubble of scent on the wearer, but it doesn't overwhelm anyone's nostrils more than necessary. I find it unisex, slightly feminine, but I'll wear it without a problem. More suited to warmer seasons, I feel it's not strong enough for cold temperatures, but there's nothing stopping it from being worn year-round. I really like Chanel's exclusive line.
EDIT 10/27/2025
After prolonged use, although the climate isn't the best for this type of perfume, I can report that towards the end of the drydown, powdery, slightly sweet notes emerge, very pleasant but definitely not food-like. The scent, however, remains rather dry and never sugary. Beautiful and pleasant, truly!
