What does 5th Avenue NYC Red smell like?

It opens bright and fruity with pink pepper, bergamot, white freesia, red apple and red currant. The heart turns floral with jasmine sambac, red dahlia, violet and orange blossom. The base sweetens the scent with red amber, tonka bean and cashmere wood, softened further by musk and sandalwood.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and the office, and far less for evenings or nights out. It reads feminine. Grès Lumière Rose and Kappa Pink have a close profile.
