New York the City of Dreams
New York the City of Dreams by Lattafa is an unisex eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with cherry, black pepper and nutmeg, moves into mimosa, rose, lily of the valley and cognac and dries down to patchouli, labdanum, cedarwood and oakmoss. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cherry Sweet, syrupy and a bit almondy. Currently everywhere.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Heart
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Cognac Boozy, fruity and warming. Richer and rounder than rum.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
