Miami

I really wish I had this for last summer, but now I get to enjoy it this summer

Miami opens up very sweet, but not candy sweet, lime, coconut, tropical sweet. Fantastic take on a tropical fragrance, nothing really like it out there (That I’ve smelt)

Yes, it dries down into a boozy, rum, and tobacco scent, but that lime and coconut stays with you all the way though

Monster projection for 5 hours, but not terribly overbearing
Don’t even need to worry about longevity on this one

If you like sweet tropical scents, this ones for you

A comparison with Prisma Topaz

Since it invariably comes up, I just spent the last two days doing a comparison of Prisma Topaz and City Rhythm Miami in samples from each company. (This is being posted to each of their pages here.). They are obviously quite similar but they are certainly not the same. To begin: Topaz is more floral and lime-forward and almost comes across as slightly a soapy floral. Miami is slightly sweeter and more coconut-y. There is a spot of floral but it is more diminished. And whereas Topaz is a more rounded and, objectively, is probably the better balanced scent, Miami is sharper, almost metallic/synthetic upon application. That may sound negative but it’s not at all: it gives Miami a life and zest. As they dry down, the fundamentally more floral nature of Topaz remains; it has far less coconut to it and keeps more of a lime/flower (camelia? gardenia?) presence. Miami, in dry-down, picks up a slight boozy rum quality over the coconut base, and although the tang diminishes it is still there. To sniff one against the other two or three hours after putting them on is to smell sibling scents – quite close, but, for me, Topaz remains flowery and Miami more resinous with rum and lingering coconut.

In terms of sillage and longevity, I found both to be about the same as to sillage. Topaz wins as to longevity. Miami is five or six hours in me. Topaz I could still smell 12 hours later - faintly but still there.

Bottom line: all in all, I enjoyed Miami just very slightly more – it has a tang and bite at first, which continues as it gets more boozy in the drydown. That’s not to say that Topaz isn’t a great scent, because it is (actually, they both are); nor is it to say that the two scents are not highly similar, because they are. Some might find Miami a touch synthetic and Topaz a rounder, fuller and better balanced scent. However, I’d think ultimately which of the two anyone might prefer would depend on their views of flowery scents versus more boozy drydowns or whether the person likes lime and flowers or slightly tangy coconut.

Suburban tropical

I thought this would be my jam, but it's a sort of a disappointing perfume. City Rhytm has done other tropicals and freshies, and this one seems lacking compared to literally every other sample of theirs I tried. It lacks subtelty and feels sort of awkward.

It opens with a bright coconut-lime fistfight, one note trying to overpower the other descending quickly into undescript sweetness and dries down into mediocre "manly man's cologne" sort of woody ambergris that was done many times before. All of that with a proper "beast-mode" sillage and longevity that seems too grandiose for such a nothingburger of a scent.

Don't get me wrong, it's not exactly disgusting or anything, just overdone, overbearing, and seems completely underwhelming. The monstrous sillage makes every note hit you like a brick to the point of headache, each of them never agreeing with each other. Instead of a chill vacation, you get a crazy family reunion dinner, where everyone shouts on one another, someone gets pissy drunk, a random fight breaks out accompanied by an obnoxiously loud music from a tablet, that was given to a child no one has time to tend to.

Hot Building Block

You take a dark, deeply aromatic rum barrel. The inside is still wet and soaked with alcohol. You fill the barrel with plenty of tonka beans - just the right amount. Carefully selected light flowers are added, wrapped in tobacco leaves and gently nestled on top of the tonka beans. The barrel is ignited from below.
The tonka beans roast gently, caramelize, and release their warm, soft scent in fantastic harmony with the flowers, which are gradually dried by the heat. Into the blazing flames, you blow ground saffron, which smolders in the heat and explosively releases its aroma. The fire draws oxygen from the air, the room heats up, becoming searingly hot. Tingling tobacco notes unfold their volume and tickle the nose. You cool the blaze with creamy, milky thick coconut milk. Into the mixture of flames, hot aromatic embers, and coconut milk, you finely grate the zest of a cinnamon stick. The essential oils are released immediately, giving your creation the final touch.
This is exactly how Miami smells to me.

City Rythm is a perfume house that certainly few in the German-speaking world have on their radar. This may be primarily due to the incredibly poor accessibility, especially considering the high import costs, but what this niche house consistently delivers in terms of masterpieces is hard to describe in words and should definitely be experienced with the nose. The scent compositions, in my opinion, are characterized not only by their incredible complexity and harmony, with a lot of creativity and a truly fine eye (or nose) for detail. Rather, the entire scent impression can always be broken down into its components despite their complexity, allowing them to be clearly identified. I always enjoy this process and especially learn to better understand the harmony of certain fragrance materials. Due to the complex creations and the described "puzzle-like" experience, I would even go so far as to say that this niche house is quite suitable for learning and understanding, and consequently also excellent for an entry into the world of niche perfumes.

Miami smells to me like no other fragrance so far - not even close. It comes across as creamy gourmand, is definitely sweet and spicy but still fresh with a citrusy touch, which makes it in no way sticky or heavy.
The base is a play of a dark boozy note into which a fine light tobacco is nestled. To prevent it from coming across too harsh, the combination is softened with tasty sweet tonka bean.
After several hours, alongside the long-lasting booziness, a dominant saffron note remains. To me, Miami then smells primarily warm, spicy, and salty. The tingling in the nose also remains.
The sillage is incredibly powerful, and the longevity is good for about eight hours even with just one spray. This makes the fragrance extremely economical, and you really get more than enough for your money here.

Anyone who gets the chance should definitely experience this. One of my absolute favorite fragrances!

First sweet and light, then boozy and creamy

On recommendation, I blind bought this fragrance.
Admittedly, due to shipping costs and customs, it is quite expensive, but the curiosity was too great.
Accordingly, the expectations were high.
First test: The lime comes in with a summery, sparkling lightness. Followed by a light coconut note and sugarcane.
Airy, delicious, and light, I thought.
But then something beautiful happens. The already very pleasant scent gains character and develops.
Creamier, rounder. More boozy, a bit of tobacco (which I usually don't like, but here it's perfectly nuanced).
Lime and coconut are still present, but take a bit of a back seat. Rum becomes more prominent, but still plays nicely with the other fragrance notes.
The scent lasts well, and I'm already eyeing the other fragrances from City Rhythm. If shipping becomes easier now (without customs and cheaper), then it would be perfect.

Creamy, meaty coconut steeped in fresh lime, garnished with light airy jasmine & other floral blossoms. Sprinkled with sugar, in a rum bath.

Fresh coconut nests behind bright lime notes. A unique summery scent that can be worn all year. Great stuff. Perfectly unisex

Like a diluted version of BR540. I don't smell coconut. More on the masculine side. Not very sweet and lacks summer vibes. Too intense for warm weather.
