Identity and History

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.

Perfumer and Concept

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.

Olfactory Pyramid and Development

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.

Who It Suits and How to Wear It

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.

Similar Fragrances

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.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.

The fragrance is fresh, of course, but it all ends with amber. There's no individuality from Van Cleef here - just another mass-market product. Marketers decided that citrus aquatic was cool, and in the end, they got a faceless grey bottle that, in theory, should evoke New York. But in reality, it only reminds me of broken asphalt in Brooklyn. Overall, it's a passable option, nothing more

This cologne is a complete disappointment. Spices, lavender, and aquatic notes were mixed in such a way that it turned into a mess. The lemons at the beginning are the only thing that brings any joy, but then everything devolves into watery tastelessness. In short, I don't recommend it, better choose something else
