Once upon a time in America...
"New York" comes from the French fragrance house Parfums de Nicolaï. The owner Patricia de Nicolai is the niece of the famous perfumer Jean-Paul Guerlain and has been running her own brand since 1989. Independent and free from the guidelines or ideas of the fragrance industry, she loves to implement her own ideas and therefore does not follow trends or currents. In her fragrances she combines tradition with modernity, which her creations skilfully express. Not least through the use of exclusive and natural ingredients, expressive and intense concentrations of the highest quality are created. The fragrance "New York" is considered a pioneer of their own line and is already a classic today...
*
Equally a classic and pioneer of its genre is the film "Once Upon a Time in America". Stylistically undisputed a milestone in film history, Sergio Leone has captured in his time a compelling story on celluloid, which has its beginning in New York in the 1920s at the time of Prohibition. At the center of the story are the friends Noodles and Max, who, through the illegal business with alcohol and other criminal machinations, entangle themselves deeper and deeper in the swamp of violence and crime.
Would you want to underline this cinematic experience olfactory, so the fragrance New York would be the perfect little water...
New York has on the one hand the potential of a classic, coupled with a certain portion of nostalgia, on the other hand, its cosmopolitan nature and charming characteristics offers a still functioning and timeless fragrance DNA.
*
In the wild 1920s, one went chic and elegant to one of the many jazz clubs in Harlem or Manhattan. Dressed in a casual tuxedo, the determined man of the world generously applies the fragrance. After all, you want to be noticed to be able to celebrate exuberantly and debauched...
The prelude inspires with a wonderfully refreshing citrus note and dresses its wearer appropriately. The citrus is not at all overloaded, it is held as equal in check by a certain spice and subliminal lavender note, cinnamon and clove. This creates a touch of fougère - Très chic!
When the gentleman then makes his way to a "Speakeasy", which were the so-called "whispering pubs" or "moonlight pubs" at the time, the tart moss has already taken over with its mild herbaceousness. In these "moonshine pubs" high-proof alcohol and beer was served at the time of alcohol prohibition in the USA. This was the basis of the roaring atmosphere of the 1920s...along with cocaine and other intoxicants.
The oak moss plays a supporting role further, fixes the molecules and makes the wearer a distinguished gentleman. At the same time, New York never appears too edgy or harshly polished, it gets a noble frame and soft-seeming elegance through fine woods.
Basically subordinate, but still accentuating chords of musk, beaver and Co. give the projection a certain "wild" facet, to also be able to experience an intense party night.
*
New York but also fits fantastically into the present and represents by no means a stale, but rather contemporary oldschool fragrance. The finely coordinated aromas act light-footed and complementary with each other. Playful and informal, the fragrance can be worn on almost any occasion, creating a consistently pleasant aura without overpowering or overwhelming its environment. A good durability distinguishes him as well as an appropriate projection.

Thanks for reading, stay tuned as always, and another big thank you to Gentilhomme for the fine sample...
