NYC Show For Women

NYC Show is Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Calvin Klein Reveal, the sheer 2014 'solar oriental' now discontinued. It opens with the original's signature trick - a trio of white, black and pink pepper softened by a saline salt accord, peppery and skin-warm rather than sharp. A gentle heart of ambergris and powdery iris bridges into a cosy, sensual base of musk, cashmeran, sandalwood and a thread of vetiver - the soft, warm, 'fresh wood' drydown reviewers describe. The original was a well-regarded sheer-warm musk with variable but often good longevity; as a budget dupe this version keeps the distinctive salt-and-pepper-over-soft-musk character but lands a little flatter, with the radiant, solar quality dialled back. A skin-close, sophisticated peppery musk for dates, evenings and easy office wear across the cooler months and spring.
