Scent notes for the picks
Look for sweet berry and lychee with soft vanilla in Greenwich Village (Eau de Parfum, 2019), starting with blackcurrant and lychee before musk, oakmoss and vanilla take over. Lafayette Street (Eau de Parfum, 2018) lands as fresh bergamot breeze with apple sweetness and cedar, opening on bergamot and coriander and drying down to ambergris, cedarwood and tonka bean. Count on sweet coffee and caramel with creamy florals from New York Nights (2017); gardenia and jasmine up top and caramel and coffee underneath.
If these picks suit you, floral perfumes and gourmand perfumes are good places to keep looking, and the brands page lists every house.
