Which Should You Buy?
This Raspberry Cognac bomb has divided the masses. Some hail it as a boozy, fruity masterpiece, a worthy dupe of more expensive scents; others find it too synthetic, too loud, or just plain weird. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for its price, it definitely commands attention.
Don't let the haters get to you- New York the City of Dreams surprises with a nuanced, grown-up cherry. It's a smooth, boozy, woody ride that punches above its weight, even if the cherry doesn't always steal the show. A solid Lattafa entry, despite the bottle.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its beastly projection and longevity make it unsuitable for the office, risking being cloying. However, its warming, boozy, and sweet profile is perfect for intimate date nights and casual socialising in colder weather. It's a bit too bold for most formal settings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With moderate projection and a grown-up cherry accord, it's perfect for date nights and formal events where you want to make an impression without overwhelming. Its versatility means it can work casually, though it's a bit too refined for active wear or a quiet office setting.
