Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Like a Trip to New York opens with grapefruit, cranberry, elemi and cardamom, a bright, tart and lightly spicy start. The heart is floral, with datura and rose adding a soft, rounded sweetness. The base is cedar, woody notes and amber, which give a dry, warm finish. The scent moves from zesty to smooth and woody, a lively feminine fruity floral with a firm base.
