Harlem Nights by Chris Collins was launched in 2017, crafted by perfumer Laurent Marrone. This unisex fragrance opens with a vibrant clash of citrus and spices — grapefruit and lemon meet saffron and nutmeg — creating an immediate tension that is both fresh and warm. The heart unfolds into a rich blend of iris and jasmine, balanced by the earthy depth of patchouli and cedar. The base notes of rum, sandalwood, vanilla, musk, and vetiver bring a sensual warmth that evokes the intimate atmosphere of late-night jazz clubs.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to pulse points for an even spread. The citrus-spicy opening is vibrant but fades within the first hour; allow time for the base notes to settle in before heading out, as they bloom slowly and provide a lasting warmth.
