The story behind the bottle.
Energetically New York Elixir, launched in 2025 by Zara and crafted by the renowned perfumer Jo Malone CBE, is a vibrant Oriental Floral fragrance for unisex wear. The composition opens with the bright spiciness of cardamom, leading to the soft floral notes of jasmine before settling into the enveloping warmth of sandalwood and suede. This blend creates an energetic yet comforting aura, capturing the essence of New York's bustling energy and refined elegance.
Apply one or two sprays to the pulse points for an immediate impact. The cardamom top note is bright but fleeting, so let it settle before heading out. This fragrance pairs well with a jacket for added warmth and depth.
