About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Manhattan opens with lavender, basil and bergamot — an aromatic, faintly green lift before the composition turns warm. The heart brings coconut, heliotrope, violet, may rose and jasmine, a soft floral-creamy layer that keeps the scent from tipping into pure spice. What follows is the real architecture: tobacco, clove, vanilla, cinnamon, patchouli, cedar, pine, benzoin, vetiver, musk, ginger, pink pepper and oakmoss, a dense oriental-spicy base where sweetness and dry wood trade places over hours.
Collectors should expect a rich, deliberate wear rather than a light daily scent; the warm-spicy accord dominates, with woody and vanilla facets close behind. It suits someone who enjoys classic tobacco-vanilla orientals and doesn't mind a pronounced clove-cinnamon presence. Best for cool weather, evening wear or formal occasions, and worth sampling first if heavy spice or coconut-floral sweetness can feel overpowering on skin. Apply sparingly — the base is persistent.
中文簡介
Manhattan 以薰衣草、羅勒與佛手柑開場,帶出微微草本清亮感,隨後轉入椰子、天芥菜、紫羅蘭、五月玫瑰與茉莉的柔潤花香核心,令辛香不至於過分乾燥。真正主體在後段:煙草、丁香、雲呢拿、肉桂、廣藿香、雪松、松木、安息香、香根草、麝香、薑、粉紅胡椒與橡苔層層堆疊,暖辛香最突出,木質與甜香緊隨其後。
氣質濃厚而古典,屬煙草雲呢拿型東方辛香,適合喜歡重香料、能接受丁香與肉桂存在感的人。秋冬季、晚間或正式場合最為合拍;若怕椰子花香甜感或辛香過重,建議先試香。用量宜少,基調留香持久。
