— The story · editor’s notes —
About Manhattan.
Opening chapter
tep into the bustling heart of the metropolis with a scent that captures its vibrant spirit, beginning with an invigorating burst of sparkling bergamot and crisp apple, interwoven with the aromatic spice of coriander and a hint of violet leaf, elevated by a sharp whisper of black pepper.
02 · Heart
As the city awakens, the heart unfolds to reveal the robust aroma of freshly brewed coffee, seamlessly blended with the sophisticated warmth of cardamom and the distinctive allure of supple leather, all supported by a verdant green accord and the creamy sweetness of tonka bean, painting a picture of urban sophistication and hidden depths. As day turns to night, the fragrance descends into a luxurious base of earthy Haitian vetiver and rich tobacco, grounded by smoky sandalwood and patchouli, while ambergris and a touch of vanilla provide a soft, lingering warmth that endures long after the city lights dim, leaving an enigmatic trail that is both powerful and refined, perfect for evening soirées or making a confident statement.
