It’s been a while since I sniffed New York at Breuninger and for some reason, I noted it down in my mental "Must have" list.
Now that I wanted to get the fragrance, I tried the sample again. I have no idea what I found so great about it, but none of that is present here anymore.
The opening is fruity fresh, but the top notes are so piercingly unpleasant that you want to wash it off your arm immediately. In the drydown, it becomes quieter, but not better. I also wouldn't know for which occasions one could wear it; overall, it strikes me as a sad fruit platter from a place that needs to be rescued by Rosin's restaurant.
