Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New York Intense
This one's a proper grown-up scent, divisive as hell but with a passionate following. You'll either get the hype of this classic, masculine powerhouse or you'll think it smells like an old bloke's aftershave before he clipped his nose hairs. It takes a certain wearer, but it's pure class for those who get it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - New York
A divisive classic that splits opinion between masterful, classy sophistication and 'old man' datedness. Some find it a timeless, versatile masterpiece, while others are put off by its traditional, powdery nature or performance issues in newer formulations.

New York Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Office Date

Its sophisticated aromatic and spicy profile, combined with generally good longevity and moderate to strong sillage, makes it perfect for formal events and the office. It's a bit too refined for casual wear and definitely not for sport, while opinions are split on date nights, with some finding it sexy and others too 'old-school'.
