City Rhythm Manhattan Extrait
City Rhythm Manhattan Extrait
Description
Manhattan was City Rhythm founder Niles Ramadhin's very first release in 2021, an homage to the city he moved to at age 12 and the place, by his own account, where the formative chapters of his life unfolded. The current edition (sold in its engraved-cap, blue-shimmer bottle) builds on the original "blue juice" pyramid with added Rock Rose and cassia bark, opening on cinnamon and violet leaf before a smoky tea-and-resin heart and a tobacco-cedar base.
Scent Character
- Smoky & Resinous: 33%
- Fresh: 25%
- Woody: 25%
- Spicy: 8%
- Sweet: 8%
Translation: a smoky-resinous core (frankincense, myrrh) balanced by a fresh green top and a warm woody-spice base. Its resinous facet can read close to oud, but there's no agarwood in the note list. The effect comes from frankincense and myrrh, not oud oil.
