OrientalWhat does New Haarlem smell like?
It opens with green leaves, bergamot and lavender, a fresh and herbal start. In the heart cedarwood and coffee come forward, and as it dries down tonka bean, vanilla and amber bring the sweetness, with patchouli adding depth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn in the evening, for leisure and on nights out. It reads more masculine than feminine, though it is unisex. Peter Jacobs Imperial Bleu and Jesus del Pozo Gold Cedar Nights have a close profile.
