New York Nights

blind buy (pretty non-expensive) and i don't regret at all! but i'm shocked (in a good way)! 0.0 New York Nights smells EXACTLY like armani code (my fave ferfume scent but armani code don t like my skin chemstry, it get lost on me in one hour at least). this one features as well an extra touch powder (tuberose?) in the heart and an extra touch warmth (tonka?)and creaminess (sandalwood?)in the bottom. i prefere New York Nights to armani code - it's more complex and interesting about the pear, cassis and rose accords in it as well which ones are giving this composition an extra twist while armani code is rather simple and a bit soapy... guess the mentioned vintage sensation indeed comes from the powdery tuberose and cassis accord... very nice nice nice intoxicating scent. yammmm! compare the notes; it's obvious they are same-same. New York Nights seems to have more staying power than armani code and more depth of course. i wear it now since 3 hours and it lingers so soft with nice whifts caching when moving around. though, a very nice summer night out scent. pretty bottle. love it. very addictive scent.... i will repurchase for shure when run out.

I received this perfume as a gift nearly 2 years ago but didn't open it until a few weeks ago. Much to my surprise this is a very beautiful fragrance. It's complex and I get whiffs of the fruity,floral and oriental notes. I don't agree with it's classification as a fruity- floral however because the overall aroma is definitely more oriental.I'd say it's a night out type of scent for sure. I've tried Armani Code and I can't recall how similar it is to New York Nights but more importantly, I certainly didn't like Armani Code as much as I like this. Another great thing about New York Nights is the affordability. I went into my local Beauty Base yesterday and saw it on promotion-3 bottles (30ml size) for £10 so I promptly re-stocked. While I was there, I took the opportunity to sample Girard's Bali Sunrise and Provence Spring-neither of these imo are as good as NYN. As long as it's available,New York Nights will be in rotation with my other favourites.

I have a 50ml which is my go to sexy fragrance for night. I keep trying to get a back up bottle of New York Nights on ebay but they are scarce and when one does pop up they mostly go for a ridiculous amount of money :-( considering what they cost orginally....Much to my delight i happened to spray Bench Urban original womens edt on me today and it smells so similiar to New York Nights that I cannot tell the difference but my nose is not that well trained so maybe others could. The Bench bottle is also a lovely dark red plum colour with pink writing. Bench is maybe not as deep or powdery and is definately not as long lasting on me as New York Nights but the smell is pretty darn close to New York Nights, lovely fragrance New York Nights, so sad discontinued but happy to have found something similiar and reasonably priced :-) Give Bench a go and see what you think....

Wonderful affordable niche perfume ! Armani Code was based on this Girard original formula. It's very hard to tell much difference between New York Nights and Armani Code. Armani Code added a honey note that is not present in New York Nights. If anything, New York Nights is a bit more rich in composition and quality. New York Nights is extremely long lasting, with consistent moderate projection. It smells expensive, beautifully balanced, elegant, fresh and classy. Perfect to wear any time, any season.

Luckily I bought it on Ebay for 4£ (50ml) and only because I checked reviews before. What a surprise! Alien and Gabriela Sabatini in one. So beautiful, and unisex, however it will be gifted to my hubby for his B-day. It's less agressive than Alien TM and managed to stay on my hand and wrist after shower. It's second Girard's fragrance in my wardrobe and I'm very surprised how nice both are. And bottles are amazingly well finished - simple but beautiful. I would defnitelly recommend for Alien's fans.
