Our verdict on New Haarlem: Acquired

Divisive, love-it-or-hate-it. This 'sexy pancakes' scent has a cult following who adore its edible warmth and beast mode performance, but it's not for everyone. Some find the maple syrup note overwhelming and artificial, leaning into cloying territory.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and syrupy sweetness make it a poor fit for the office, potentially cloying to others. However, the comforting gourmand profile and long-lasting nature are perfect for casual outings or intimate date nights, especially in cooler weather.

About

New Haarlem opens with a surprisingly fresh burst of lavender and green notes, quickly softened by a sweet bergamot. This momentary crispness soon gives way to a rich, warm heart dominated by a creamy, almost burnt coffee note, intertwined with balsamic cedar. The dry down is a gourmand dream of amber, tonka bean, and vanilla, creating a syrupy, pancake-like embrace, grounded by a subtle, earthy patchouli.
