Fragrance du Bois New York 5th Avenue Parfum

Description

New York 5th Avenue captures the plush, wintery glamour of Manhattan after dark. Released in 2020 by perfumer Shadi Samra as part of Fragrance du Bois's Fashion Capitals collection, it opens with rose and bergamot before sliding into a rich caramel-and-violet heart, then settles into a warm, cashmere-soft base of musk, vanilla, and guaiac wood. It's a luxurious, sweet-amber sibling to the house's more overtly oud-driven scents, built for evening rather than daytime wear.
