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.

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.
