What does New York Nights smell like?

Jasmine, gardenia and carnation give it a floral opening. In the heart, marine notes, sandalwood and patchouli surround the flowers, while caramel and coffee in the base pull the scent towards a creamy, gourmand sweetness. Fruity, spicy and synthetic tones also show in the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters recommend fall and winter; evenings and nights out come first, while office wear stays in the background. Voters read it as feminine more than anything else. It has a close profile to Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) and Cacharel Yes I Am.
