It’s not easy to capture one of the most diverse, evolving and breathtaking cities in the world in one single fragrance- so Fragrance du Bois decided to make two instead, one each for the disparate but equally magical NYC summers and winters. New York Intense represents the vibrant summertime of NYC, irresistible and unique like the city itself. The top note is a spicy, sparkling citrus, with just a hint of floral accords- a sharper, more masculine-feeling counterpart to 5th Avenue. A balsamic and woodsy heart deepens the sensuality with olibanum, guaiac wood, clove, and immortelle, feeling rich and luxurious. A complex and powerful base featuring oud, amber, and myrrh smolders like the city at noon, albeit with the sophistication and refinement of observing Central Park from 50 stories above. Opulent, yet impeccably tasteful, New York Intense is an undeniable triumph.
