What does I Love New York for All smell like?

It opens with pepper, bergamot and lily of the valley, then moves into a sweet, gourmand heart of coffee bean, cocoa and chestnut. The base of patchouli, rum, vanilla, leather and sandalwood adds a woody, leathery, oriental warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings, leisure and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes are nearly level, so it reads as genuinely in between. Bond No. 9 New Bond St. and Serge Lutens Santal majuscule have a close profile.
