Perfume Parlour NYC Loose For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. NYC Loose For Men opens with Absinth, Star Anise, Juniper, and Jackfruit, settles into a heart of Suede, Buchu, Coffee, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Oak, Cedar, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's NYC Loose For Men carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

NYC Loose copies Calvin Klein's CK Free - that clean, light woody-aromatic with a coffee-tobacco-suede heart that barely shows. The dupe matches the original's airy, easy character, including its famously weak longevity.

Scent Profile

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

NYC Loose is Perfume Parlour's take on Calvin Klein's CK Free. It opens green and aromatic with absinthe, star anise, juniper berries and a quirky touch of jackfruit, before a heart that on paper promises coffee, tobacco, suede and buchu but - as in the original - stays clean, light and understated rather than rich. The base is a fresh woody affair of oak, cedar and patchouli. As a budget version it captures CK Free's airy, inoffensive, everyday-office character faithfully, including the original's main flaw: short longevity and modest projection. It is a clean, casual daytime scent best applied liberally and reapplied through the day, offering the easy CK style at a budget price.
