What does I Love New York for Marriage Equality smell like?

Citrus and fruity accents lead from the start, with nutmeg giving the sweetness a spicy edge. In the heart, lily, rose and jasmine form a floral body. Cashmere wood, sandalwood and amber then settle it onto a woody, sweet and slightly smoky base. It has been discontinued.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and wear centres on daily, business and leisure use. It reads somewhat more masculine, though the feminine vote is strong too. Calvin Klein Secret Obsession and Amouage Silver have a close profile.
