NYC Male

Name: NYC Male Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour NYC Male is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007. NYC Male opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Violet Leaf, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Nutmeg, Bay Leaf, Incense, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Guaiac Wood. Perfume Parlour's NYC Male carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

NYC Male targets Calvin Klein's CK Man - the tart, peppery violet-leaf woody-spice that balanced green herbs against creamy amber. The dupe captures the violet-leaf-and-herbs signature but renders it flatter, with the coniferous-creamy contrast simplified and projection sitting closer to the skin than the well-balanced original.

About

NYC Male opens tart and green - violet leaf leading a crisp citrus-rosemary accord that sets the herbal, peppery tone CK Man is known for. A spicy-aromatic heart of bay leaf, nutmeg and cool mint follows, edged with a thread of incense. The base settles into cypress, guaiac wood, sandalwood, amber and musk. Against the Calvin Klein original the dupe reads a touch flatter and less polished: the elegant contrast between the coniferous green top and the creamy amber drydown is simplified, and the distinctive tart violet-leaf sparkle is softened. It wears as a versatile, well-balanced masculine - easy for the office, daily wear and casual outings across the milder seasons. Projection is modest and longevity skin-close after the opening hours, the usual budget trade against the solidly performing original. As a smell-alike it captures the herbal-green-woody character that made CK Man a reliable everyday pick while losing a little of the balance and tenacity.
