What does 5th Avenue NYC Lights smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. Value for money scores high. It is described as a women's fragrance.
Citrus and fruity accents lead the first impression. In the heart, iris and osmanthus absolute add a floral, powdery softness, while Amber Xtreme™ pulls it towards warmth. The base of patchouli, tonka bean absolute and sandalwood settles into a sweet, woody finish. Hugo Boss Boss Jour pour Femme and Tiffany & Co. Tiffany & Co. have a close profile.
