New York Amber Extrait

Which Should You Buy?
Hawas London is a divisive one, hyped by some, reviled by others as an 'old lady' perfume. Ignore the noise - it's a confident, modern rose with real depth, but definitely 'unisex leaning feminine' so not for everyone, nor a safe blind 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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
The strong projection and prominent rose note make it less ideal for an office environment, as some perceive it as too 'old-fashioned' or feminine for men. However, its sophisticated and elegant character, combined with reported solid projection and longevity, makes it well-suited for dates and formal events.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
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.
