Playboy New York is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. New York opens with Vinyl, Lime, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Pepper, Elemi, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Playboy's New York carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper bargain, defying its price tag with a surprisingly decent scent. While some moan about the synthetic edge, most reckon it's a solid, crowd-pleasing clone of pricier options, perfect for younger gents or those after a cheap thrill. Just don't expect it to last all day without a top-up.

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.

Its fresh, clean, and somewhat light profile makes it suitable for casual wear and the gym, with many reviews mentioning it as a good 'gym scent'. Its moderate projection and longevity mean it won't overwhelm an office, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a zesty, almost bubblegum opening of lime and a unique vinyl accord, quickly mellowing into a heart of crisp apple and a hint of spicy pepper. The dry-down brings a comforting vanilla and tonka bean sweetness, grounded by earthy vetiver. It's a fresh and slightly sweet journey, easy on the nose and decidedly modern.
