What does 5th Avenue NYC smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither fills a room nor disappears quickly. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though summer has its share. Daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions, while evening and night out trail behind. Voters mostly call it feminine, with modern and classic character in the background.

The opening is fresh and fruity, built on peach, apple and bergamot. The heart turns floral with peony, night-blooming jasmine, plum blossom and blackcurrant. In the base, tonka bean, vanilla and amber bring a creamy, sweet warmth, while musk and sandalwood add a woody footing.
