New York Nights is a gourmand fragrance centered around caramel, coffee, and a subtle banana-like note, offering a soft, sweet, and creamy profile that feels both comforting and whimsical. The scent evolves from a bright, slightly aquatic opening with notes of gardenia and sea notes, into a rich, caramel- and coffee-heavy base with a smooth, almost cookie-like sweetness. The banana element is faint but distinct, resembling banana bread or a delicate banana custard, making it one of the most uniquely perceived gourmands available. While the scent is widely admired for its addictive quality and sophisticated balance of sweetness and earthiness, it is generally regarded as light in sillage and modest in longevity, especially on skin—lasting moderately to well on clothing. The fragrance's unisex nature allows it to be worn by anyone, but it leans masculine in body chemistry and performance for many, creating a rare and exclusive sensation that stands out in a crowd. It's ideal for cooler weather and night-time wear, offering a warm, intimate trail that lingers without overwhelming. The signature effect is a delightful, slightly nostalgic gourmand experience that evokes taverns, pastry shops, or seaside cafes in a poetic way.
