Une Ville, un Parfum : New York
Guerlain (2009)

The opening blast is very standard, but pleasant, with the freshness off the bergamot aligning well with a cardamom; soon cinnamon with whiffs of a very discrete tonka adds smoothness. After the first couple of hours a very dull and mediocre woodsiness takes over and remains the sole component in the base notes.
No Guerlinade here.

The performance is not thrilling, with moderate sillage, limited projection and four hours of longevity on my skin, the last two of which are forgettable indeed.

Pleasant for spring initially, then a disappointment. 2.75/5.
