The story behind the bottle.
New York by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur, launched in 1989 and crafted by Patricia de Nicolai, stands as a bold statement within the brand's repertoire. This Woody Spicy fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of Amalfi Lemon and Bergamot, giving way to an aromatic heart of Thyme and Lavender. The composition is further enlivened by warm spices like Cinnamon and Cloves, which add depth and complexity. A base of Vanilla, Incense, Styrax, Civet, Castoreum, and Musk rounds out the scent, creating a rich blend that feels both fresh and enveloping.
New York's parfum concentration means it has a long-lasting presence. One or two sprays are enough to make an impact throughout the day. The fragrance projects well, so you can wear it confidently in any setting.
