By the editors · 2 min readNew York Musk opens with a dark, jammy blackcurrant — sweet but with that sulfurous, almost-skin tang that keeps it from going syrupy. Within minutes osmanthus surfaces, lending a fuzzy apricot-leather warmth, while a curl of nutmeg adds dry friction.
The drydown is where the name earns itself: a sandalwood-vetiver-patchouli base, sweetened and humanized by white musk, settles close to the skin and stays there for hours. The fruit never fully leaves; it lingers as a smudge under the woods.
Wears as a soft, slightly louche cool-weather skin scent. Quiet for a Bond, with more shadow than statement.
