Thank heavens I still have two and a half bottles left from those that I bought when I first discovered it, which I think was around 2003 or 2004. Loved it enough to immediately want to get at least a small stockpile - was more concerned at the time with it possibly being discontinued, wasn't thinking about reformulation (in the end, though, essentially the same thing). This isn't exactly helping to deter me from my firm belief that, if I love a scent enough, stockpiling is a good thing. <br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-76340646267375806552014-04-09T12:19:35.972-04:002014-04-09T12:19:35.972-04:00One of my biggest all-time favourites and best nev...One of my biggest all-time favourites and best never-fail scents. New York works on any season, any weather, any mood, any occasion. It's elegant and classy but not boring. Love the citrusy opening, spicy heart and the woody-animalic drydown. Good to know my bottle is from the old stock! I got it in 2007, when I happened to be in London and happened to walk past Parfums de Nicolaï boutique. There was a 50% off sale going on. New York had by then been for years on my wishlist so I was very happy to grab it for a nice price.tigrushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082709077132165554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-59502759600861941822014-04-09T03:59:53.321-04:002014-04-09T03:59:53.321-04:00Lovely to see New York mentioned here!

The original is a wonderful, classical 'city' thing that really speaks of an era we seem to have lost - the warmth of it and the very chyprish kick qualify it as 'one of the few' alongside Patou Pour Homme, Tiffany for Men (!) and, perhaps, Derby as effortlessly cool masculines that really go beyond that designation into 'just plain class for anyone who is interested' territory.Morton Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-37817704725984279872014-04-09T03:20:57.207-04:002014-04-09T03:20:57.207-04:00New York (I never smelled the "vintage",...New York (I never smelled the "vintage", so I am referring to a rather recent version) is one of my favorite perfumes of all times. <br />Whenever I wear it, I feel like I'm wafting some deliciously rare Guerlain from decades past, I feel like keeping my nose glued to my wrist, I feel happy and sexy and confident.<br />Now, should I tell you how I feel when my husband wears it? <br />Let me just say that my heart skips a beat and my knees get wobbly.<br />New york to me is unisex genius, and so, so romantic.<br />Zaziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216945625543485265noreply@blogger.com
