Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - So New York EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some love its unique chocolaty, powdery plum vibe, others find it a "powder bomb" or just baffling. Definitely not a safe blind buy, and performance is a wild card. Expect something unusual; just don't expect everyone to get it.

Our Verdict - Gelato Espresso Extrait
If you want to smell like an Italian coffee shop in a bottle, then Gelato Espresso is your mug. It's a sweet, comforting, and utterly delicious gourmand that unapologetically announces its presence.

Season and Occasion Fit

So New York

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and powdery dry down make it acceptable for casual and even some office wear, though the gourmand facets might be too much for formal settings. The warm, cosy accords lend themselves well to dates, especially in cooler weather, but it's far too heavy for sport.

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

This is a strong gourmand, making it a bit much for the office or formal events where subtlety is often key. It shines on a date or in casual settings where its warm, inviting nature can be fully appreciated without overwhelming the room.
