Conflict
Blanchard (1946)

Burst of stunningly beautiful Lilac that melds with a Neroli honeydripped garden atmosphere. Background of spicy greenness that provides an interesting witchiness ala Lauder and attractiveness waxy similar to Fazzolari. Mild application of Jasmine airiness lightens and provides a little Petroleum.
It's juiciness lasts on my skin for about 3 hours. Remarkable for Cologne.

From a Lanier nip.

I was fortunate to find a two oz. bottle of Conflict cologne, still sealed, in an antiques store recently and am pleasantly surprised by its old-fashioned, yet beautiful, floral blend.

Immediately one gets a burst of lilac, supported by the rarely used note of wisteria. (The only other use of wisteria I am aware of is in D'Albret's Princesse.) As it develops, jasmine and neroli join these and proceed to create a sweet floral aura that invokes the post-war era with nostalgic references to earlier happier times. Base notes must be there, but they never surface to my nose. Perhaps this was always intended as just a splash and not a long-lasting perfume.

A joyous and uplifting scent that belies its name. What an odd name indeed for any scent. Perhaps it refers back to the war just ended.

Worth seeking out for the younger woman (18-28).
