What does New York City Goals smell like?
It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and pineapple, giving a crisp, lightly sweet fruit freshness. In the heart, coriander, ginger and cardamom add a spicy, green edge that firms up the citrus and keeps it balanced. The base is built on sandalwood, with tonka bean bringing a creamy softness, while aquatic notes and oakmoss finish it with a cool, faintly resinous and synthetic freshness. The overall impression is clean, lively and close to everyday wear; it shares a close profile with Wolfgang Joop My Looks Man 2021 and Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Now.
