Miami

So this fragrance seems to be love-hate. I ordered this cologne directly from City Rhythm and only got 10ml to try out before committing to a full bottle. The shipping was fast and only took about 3 days for the order to be fulfilled. The 10ml bottle is nice with a decent atomizer. The opening of this fragrance is very sugary and sweet and it's hard to pick out the different notes unless you try to. For some reason though I just like this fragrance. The projection and longevity are ok nothing too good but not bad. I think that when I run out of my 10ml I will order a full bottle unless I find something else like this for around the same price. this cologne offers something different from what I normally see with citrus and green Niche fragrances and is what I've been looking for. I do not see myself wearing this any time but the hot days of summer or on vacation as it's just too sweet. I think you need to try this before you commit to a full bottle as it seems some people love it or hate it. I don't understand the comments about it smelling like cheap suntan lotion. As the fragrance evolves over time it becomes even better with that sweetness starting to die down it becomes this sexy and wonderful fragrance. I was even able to smell this after I woke up so it lasted me around 12 hours. Overall I really like this fragrance and I will probably get a full bottle when I run out of my 10ml. Smell: 8/10 Projection: 6/10 Longevity: 9/10

Ok, so I heard about this house through a social media fragrance reviewer, back when it was in the older bottles. It was always touted as a hard to beat collection killer that everyone just must have. I finally gave in and ordered a full 50ml bottle of Miami and Manhattan from City Rhythm. Today, I wore Miami. Let me tell you, the hype was well deserved. This scent is incredible! For one it's one of my only scents that actually LASTS on my skin, could still pick up notes of it on myself 6hr later. And it wasn't overwhelming to the point of causing a headache, either. Not just the projection but the scent itself. I have a couple of these somewhat boozy margherita on the beach kind of inspired scents. Often they're either unbalanced and end up smelling like like or synthetic coconut, or are so overwhelming they smell like sunscreen. Not this one! Perfectly balanced. It's sweet in a gentle way, not a poppy way. It's enticing, all of the big notes are recognizable without overshadowing the others. Coconut, lime, sweet sugar and soft mellow tobacco with just enough booziness to round it out. This is a rare 10/10 scent, no holds barred. Would give it an 11 if I could. Silage - 10/10 Longevity - 10/10 Scent - 10/10 Value - 10/10 (50ml for $130 but a couple sprays will last you, reasonable for niche house) Overall - every bit a 10 out of 10. Absolute respect to the creator.

I bought this as a blind buy after trying some other coconut focused fragrances, like VIW, as I wanted a new summer scent that lasted a long while and that wasn't generic (ie I have an addiction). First spray had a wow factor. I immediately knew I will like it a lot. This fragrance smells similar to what the composition says: zesty coconut at first, very VERY nice tabacco+rum on the dry down. It gives me SWY/absolutely vibes, but it's a very unique mix of very different notes. Though this is not mishmash of random notes. It's unique, blended extremely good, smells intoxicating and the composition feels very intentional and nice (yes, it gives Miami vibes). Cannot smell any synthetic chemicals, oils, etc. This feels like something you would wear to smell best in any occasion or situation. Atomic performance (10-12h on my skin, days on clothes), everyone will smell you, it can be cloying in high heat, but I wouldn't worry and do 4 sprays max. I bought 100ml for 170EUR, the price is VERY good, so don't be misled by other people, this smells extremely good and sophisticated, so the price is justified easily. I would say that this is more of a blind buy worthy, than most of the designer fragrances, but I would recommend sampling it still. Oh, the bottle is high quality and atomizer is top tier. Hope I did not miss out anything. 11/10

City Rhythm Miami, a fragrance that captures the vibrant soul of the Magic City. The opening notes of coconut and lime instantly transport you to Miami's pristine beaches, where the tropical breeze carries a sense of carefree joy. Saffron adds a touch of exotic allure, mirroring the city's diverse and vibrant culture. As the scent develops, the heart notes take you deeper into the Miami experience. Sugar cane, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and osmanthus blend harmoniously, like a stroll through the city's lush gardens and colorful neighborhoods. It's an olfactory journey that reflects Miami's rich blend of influences and passions. The base notes evoke the city's nightlife and energy. Rum and ambergris create a warm and inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of a sunset cocktail by the ocean. Tonka bean and cedar add depth to the composition, echoing the city's modern sophistication. The hint of tobacco leaf provides a touch of intrigue, inviting you to explore Miami's hidden corners and secrets. Miami is more than a fragrance; it's an olfactory tribute to the city's dynamic spirit. With each whiff, you're transported to the sun-kissed shores, bustling streets, and lively nightlife that define this iconic coastal haven. Whether you're a resident or a traveler, this fragrance encapsulates the essence of Miami's enchanting allure.

Unbiased review: First day meh, felt just feminine leaning sweet, let it sit for a week and turned smooth, miami has 3 fases, the really fresh tropical opening with the lime and creamy coconut, you might not tell the coconut apart, its well blended, then the lime disappears after 1-2h and you have this creamy cocktail coconut vibe, this part lasts the most on skin, then the drydown, masculine leaning, heavy tobacco leaf and rum, really dry tobacco not exaggerating, this is where it turns into a skin scent, ill give you a tip, you want this heavy part to last? its been on my sweater for 2 weeks and it feels like it was sprayed on the same hour, do what you do with these. Not a safe blind bind for sure, specially if you don't like scents that are sweet, this is not a vanilla sweet, as you can point sugar cane, and also if you don't like fragrances that change a lot through the day. It projects really well on the first 3-4 hours then it starts calming down, by the 6th hour the tobacco dry down takes it for hours feeling like your "natural smell".
