From Fragrance du Bois's city-inspired range, NY Intense opens on bergamot, orange, and petitgrain before rose, jasmine, and saffron develop into a patchouli, oud, and vanilla base, for anyone.
NY Intense, part of Fragrance du Bois's City Exclusive range, adds petitgrain to the citrus opening alongside bergamot and orange: petitgrain, from the leaves of the bitter orange tree, adds a green-woody-citrus quality that gives the opening more complexity than a simple citrus accord. The "Intense" designation indicates a higher concentration than the standard NY formulation.
Rose, jasmine, and saffron in the heart form a classic floral-oriental accord with saffron adding metallic warmth. The base introduces oud alongside patchouli, musk, and vanilla: the oud provides agarwood's characteristic resinous-woody depth; patchouli adds earthy complexity; vanilla and musk soften and extend the drydown. The oud distinguishes NY Intense from the simpler city fragrances in the range. Ten to twelve hours on skin.
NY Intense suits autumn and winter from afternoon through evening. The oud and patchouli base reads most clearly in cooler temperatures. A fragrance suited to formal occasions and evening events.
