What does 5th Avenue NYC Premiere smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring close behind and summer rarely chosen. It leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time more than the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room.

Mandarin orange and pink pepper open with a bright, fruity, lightly spicy start, softened by lily of the valley. In the heart, wild orchid, hyacinth and jasmine form the floral core. The base carries vanilla, benzoin and amber for sweetness, while sandalwood, patchouli and musk give it a woody, powdery, oriental turn.
