Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New York Amber Extrait
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Yellow City EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

New York Amber

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.

Yellow City

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Reach for it across autumn and winter, where the warm spicy signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

This one suits evening and daily settings; the easy, cosy character keeps it versatile for formal rotation too.
