What does In New York smell like?
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend spring, fall and summer, and very few pick winter. Daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions named most often; nearly half of voters read it as masculine, and some call it modern.
Marine notes, mandarin orange and Italian lemon give it a fresh, aquatic start. In the heart, musk, clary sage, woods and lavender pull it toward a woody, lightly spicy side. Tonka bean and amber close it on a soft, sweet base.
