What does New York (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with aldehydes, vinyl and lime, a bright, slightly synthetic freshness. The heart adds green apple, black pepper and elemi resin, giving a fruity, spicy green touch. In the base, tonka bean and vanilla sweeten the scent, while vetiver keeps that sweetness on a drier footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen most for leisure and daily wear. It reads modern and masculine. Rasasi Entebaa pour Homme and Zara Blue Temptation have a close profile.
