What does A Moment in Manhattan smell like?

It opens with bitter orange and musk, and the heart gathers aquatic notes, saffron, blueberry, vanilla, lavender and ambergris. The aquatic and fruity accords meet a sweetness, while the base of sandalwood, benzoin, labdanum, cinnamon and castoreum adds a woody, resinous, slightly animal warmth. The overall feel is powdery and a little synthetic.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads equally well on men and women. Jeanne Arthes Extreme Limite Rock and Fort & Manlé Under Which Rivers Flow have a close profile.
