SJP in NYC perfume by Sarah Jessica Parker
This fragrance just came out in mid-February, and has already sparked an interest among perfume lovers. The scent was developed in cooperation with Coty and is marketed as a chic, modern and fashionable fragrance.
Top notes include: Italian mandarin, white osmanthus and wild red strawberries.
Heart notes: gardenia, honeysuckle, mimosa, red rose damascenia.
Base notes: sandalwood, vanilla absolute, rum flavor and creamy musk.
As I first sniffed it on a paper tester it seemed quite pleasant, fresh and vibrant, although the strawberry-sandalwood-musk combo sounds really risky. When I spritzed the perfume on myself, it appeared a bit too sweet for my taste, as honeysuckle adds sugary note to the fragrance. Fruity strawberry theme is somewhat overwhelming at first, but it develops fresh citrus undertones after couple of hours. This may be a good fit for fruity-floral scent fans this spring. Would I wear it? Probably not, but I kinda like the strange mismatched pattern on the bottle. Ranges $25-$49.
