New Haarlem is a highly distinctive gourmand fragrance that evokes the comforting, rich aura of a warm winter morning—like breakfast in a bottle. It begins with a bold fusion of coffee, lavender, and bergamot, creating a crisp, aromatic opening that feels both modern and deeply nostalgic. The core of the scent unfolds into a smooth, syrupy coffee-vanilla-brown sugar accord, accentuated by a subtle, earthy patchouli and cedar, giving it both depth and a welcoming warmth. Though some find it overwhelmingly sweet, especially in warm weather, its overall character remains balanced by the spiciness and softness of the lavender and woody notes, preventing it from becoming cloying. It performs exceptionally well, with long-lasting longevity and moderate to strong sillage, making it a standout choice for cold seasons. It is decidedly unisex, though leans masculine on many skin types due to its prominent coffee and spice elements—yet remains wearable and beloved by many. It is best suited for intimate settings, evening wear, or winter contexts, where its cozy, comforting nature shines.
