The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, New York 5th Avenue by Fragrance Du Bois is a woody-spicy fragrance crafted by perfumer Shadi Samra. The composition opens with the brightness of bergamot and caramel, creating an inviting warmth that transitions into a heart of rose and violet, adding depth and floral complexity. The base notes of cashmere wood, guaiac wood, and musk provide a grounding sense of comfort and sophistication, making this fragrance a perfect blend of elegance and modernity.
Apply this fragrance in thin layers to allow its rich base notes to develop fully on your skin. It has a moderate sillage that works well for daytime or evening wear, but avoid using it during humid summer days when the caramel note might feel too heavy.
