Launched in 2016 by Van Cleef & Arpels, In New York is a modern interpretation of the aromatic fougère genre. Perfumer Sonia Constant crafted this scent around an intriguing contrast: the sharp citrus freshness of Italian lemon and mandarin orange balances seamlessly with marine notes that evoke the city's vibrant energy. The heart of lavender and clary sage adds a touch of herbal depth, while woody undertones and musk create a warm, grounding base. This composition captures the essence of New York — dynamic, fresh, and unmistakably urban.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light sprays — the citrus top notes are bright but fleeting. The woody and musky base will develop over time, so it's best to let it settle into your skin rather than layering too much at once. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that reflects the city’s lively atmosphere.
