Van Cleef & Arpels is a name associated with Parisian elegance and impeccable taste.
In 2016, the house introduced In New York, an eau de toilette dedicated to the city that never sleeps.
Part of a series celebrating iconic metropolises, this fragrance presents New York in a masculine guise—dynamic, confident, and stylish.
The composition was created by the talented Sonia Constant, who captured the energy of the metropolis in fragrance form.
Her concept was to combine the freshness of citrus fruits with a sea breeze and add sensuality through spicy and woody accents.
The result is a fragrance that feels like an anthem to the modern man seeking adventure in every day.
The opening is bright and invigorating: lemon and mandarin intertwine with a marine accord, evoking a fresh morning by the ocean.
At the heart, a bouquet of clary sage, lavender, a woody accord, and musk unfolds, revealing refined sensuality and sophistication.
The base is warm and enveloping: amber and tonka bean leave a long-lasting, soft trail.
This men's fragrance belongs to the fougère family, with amber, aquatic, and citrus accents.
The projection is subtle—discreet and restrained, ideal for the office or a romantic date. The fragrance reveals itself best in warm weather, imparting a feeling of freshness and freedom.
If you enjoy In New York, consider Carolina Herrera 212 Surf for Her for its marine character, or Antonio Banderas Miami Seduction For Men, which also plays on the contrast between citrus and wood.
For lovers of unexpected choices, there is Sergey Gubanov Start with its bold character.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The fragrance pyramid is built on contrasts. The top notes — lemon, mandarin, and a marine accord — create a refreshing, sparkling opening.
At the heart, a bouquet unfolds: clary sage, lavender, a woody accord, and musk, adding depth and sensuality. A base of amber and tonka bean leaves a warm, enveloping trail.
