Which Should You Buy?
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.
Narcotic Delight is a bold, boozy cherry-vanilla powerhouse that divides opinion; some find it a sexy, addictive masterpiece, while others are put off by its intensity, synthetic vibe, or overwhelming sweetness. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its enormous sillage and longevity, this scent is ill-suited for the office, where it could easily overpower colleagues. Its seductive boozy cherry and tobacco notes, frequently described in reviews as 'sexy' and 'intoxicating', make it ideal for dates and evening events. While leaning towards night-time wear, its opulent character also fits formal evening gatherings, but it's too heavy and sweet for casual daytime or sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Cherry, Woody accords and Rose, Pepper notes
