What does New York smell like?

The top notes of lemon, mandarine and bergamot give a fresh start, while juniper and pink pepper add spice. In the heart, jasmine, rose and iris build a floral layer, with caramel adding sweetness. The base is led by tobacco, vanilla and tonka bean, leaving a creamy, woody warmth.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring is not far behind, and summer is chosen less. It suits nights out and evenings best, and works for leisure too. Voters lean towards reading it as masculine. Widian Black IV and Vandini Sensual have a close profile.
