Which Should You Buy?
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.
This cult classic is proof that some fragrances are just too good to stay on the shelves. A warm, spicy marvel with an elegant edge, it's a tragic loss for the perfume world. Mania is universally adored and desperately missed.

Occasions
Given its enormous sillage and longevity, New York Amber is far too overpowering for an office environment. It shines in evening settings - perfect for a sophisticated date or formal event where its bold character can make a commanding statement.

Occasions
