The Geurengoeroe over New York “Nothing but praise!”
In a description by Luca Turin in the book ‘Perfumes, The Guide’ New York gets rated 5 stars: “New York’s exquisite balance between resinous orange, powdery vanilla, and salubrious woods shimmers from moment to moment, always comfortable but never slack, always present but never loud. It is one of the greatest masculines ever, and probably the one I would save if the house burned down.”
