What does Like a Trip to New York smell like?

It wears close to the skin: longevity and sillage are both rated weak. Most voters pick spring and summer, mainly for daily and leisure wear, with office use close behind. It reads feminine, and some find it modern. It has been discontinued.

It opens with grapefruit zest, elemi resin, cardamom and cranberry, which give a fresh, fruity and lightly spicy start. Datura and rose form a floral heart. White woods, amber and cedarwood leave a soft, woody base.
