What does Karl New York Mercer Street smell like?

The top holds white pepper, rhubarb, basil and citrus notes, so it opens crisp, green and a little peppery. In the heart, blossoms and aromatic notes soften things, and the base of cotton and musky notes leaves a clean, slightly synthetic finish.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it neither dominates nor disappears quickly. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily and business wear lead the occasions. It reads mostly masculine, with a modern feel. Bond No. 9 Central Park and Jaguar Performance (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
