Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Yellow City
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Bond No.9 New York Amber - a warm spicy fragrance led by Bergamot, Saffron, Nutmeg, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Our Verdict - New York Amber
Divisive and bold, New York Amber is a beast of a scent that some adore for its rich, oriental character and others reject as synthetic and overwhelming. Be warned: it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, with monstrous projection and longevity.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Best For:
Date
