What does New York 5th Avenue smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards night-out and evening wear, and also fits leisure and daily use. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine, though a fair share call it masculine.

It opens with bergamot and rose, then moves to violet, caramel and cypriol. The base holds gaiac wood, cashmere wood, musk and vanilla. The floral side is softened by caramel and vanilla, while the woody, spicy side keeps it grounded on a dry base.
