What does Hudson Valley smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, so it stays on skin for a long time and carries well around the wearer. It suits men and women alike. It dates from 2020.

Up top, saffron's spicy warmth meets the fruity sweetness of black grape. The rose in the heart adds a soft floral touch, and patchouli with ambergris gives the base an oriental depth. Its profile is close to Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo (Eau de Parfum) and Byredo Reine de Nuit.
