Playboy New York

I have tested this today at pharmacist store. Its smells awesome for the good price. First spray you get alot of mixes aroma its like putting all different types of fruits in a blender and mixes all up. Its a great scent. Must have for summer. I mean hot summer time cools you off with this scent. Even though the price is cheap. You smell yourself and you feel confident smelling good. This is good replacing body spray like axe. Average longevity about 3 4 hours and after that it get close to your skin depending on your skin type. If your on a budget this is the fragrance you need. Great price and keep you smelling for certain amount of hours.

Forget about the name on this one. It's actually good. It's like a Corona w/lime cologne. It's cheap, some are not fond of it, the styled branding, but with some lime in it, on a hot day things are perfectly refreshing. The name brings everything with it unfortunately and it is a bit synthetic but I didn't expect this caliber of scent when first sprayed.. There are better hot day scents but in this price point and with this dumb reach, you'll fail to do much better when your finances are decreasing while the temperature is rising.

Um, wow. I blind bought this cheapie based on all your reviews and I’m so glad. It is suuuuuper sexy. Kind of like shower gel + apple pie. The weather is scorching right now and it smells so good. Husband thinks he’s hilarious he keeps spritzing a little in front of the fan to keep me satisfied while he goes back to the Xbox. I’d say longevity and projection is average but as good as more expensive summer fragrances. 100ml on sale was about the price of a large takeaway coffee.

Cheap, yet beautiful fragrance. Im a young black male and I LOVE cologne. I look at expensive cologne all the time, and i even have a few. But when it seems like all of those tend to fail me, I can definitely rely on NEW YORK ! Beautiful spices and vanilla drydown make this a Quality cologne. Got it for $10 and its lasted me for a WHILE. Longevity- 8 hours - 9/10 Sillage- A few feet 7/10 SMELL- 10/10 8.7 in my book !

Wore this constantly in high school. Still a nostalgic fragrance in that sense for me, but even now in my twenties there's something nice about this. For sure a "young" fragrance in the sense that it has that Axe body spray quality, but worn with the right outfit this works as just a fun, nightclubby smell that has surprising longevity and sillage for the price. I love it, I'll always have a bottle of it.

I just picked this up tonight at TJ Maxx. I paid $6.99 for 3.4 oz. My expectations were moderate based on the reviews here. This juice exceeded my expectations. Very nice open with a fresh lime smell. After a few hours I decided to smell the spray area on the back of my hand. Very nice vanilla, maybe even chocolate smell after the dry down. This fragrance is a steal at this price point.

This has a very fruity note to it. Lot like super playboy. A good cologne to wear to school, office and on. Could even be a signature if you want it. It seems to wear off quickly tho, but it can be noticed a lot. Got around 5 compliments wearing this from girls. At first there like is that you and they had to kind of get their noses in front of me. wish it was stronger

Vibe: Fierce and Curve having sex. A good cologne for the price, reminds me of Fierce and Curve mixed. (compliment getter guaranteed) this the king of the sub 20$, smells much more expensive. Opens citric then fades into apple plus vanilla and tonka sweet. Quite nice. scent 8 price - quality 10 Durability 4-6 hours Projection Above Average.

so much hate from snobs on here because it's not a $100 cologne...yes it's cheap but i think it smells awesome and very unique, (i dont own one other cologne that comes close smell wise)...i have gotten a lot of "hey you smell good" from this and it lasts a long time on me...seriously for the price try it for yourself

this stuff stays on me for SOOO long. holy crap. I put it on just to test it again at like 10am. and its 6:50pm and i can still smell it. I keep getting nice wiffs of it here n there so its not bad on projection when its 100% dried down. its only one spray so if you used like 4 it will be really good.

I love this smell. The first fragrance I ever owned Smells so fruity and its amazing, but performance is bad. Get at most 2 hours. Good for someone in High School or as a gym/getting grocery fragrance. The older batches (with the old glass design) for sure performed better than the new COTY ones.

i think liquid hubba bubba...liquid blue candy...strong syrupy blue berry liquid coating...for 7 bucks....u can be a happy ass show off who smells wickedly sweet and its good..then it settles to a lovely skin scent after a bit...its a 7.5 of 10 for me...dont hesitate try it

Sexy and classy, sophisticated and prolific. Opens with vinyl and soapy goodness. Has a tangy middle and sweet end which is amazing. Lasts around 6 hours and projects mildly for an hour. Good scent for casual outings and gym. Could only with for better performance. 8/10

I really like this fragrance, it is cheap, but the smell is really pleasant. I even like it more than other expensive fragrances, and I ́m not embarrased to say it, because it is really good. The smell is very sexy!!

This and colors de benetton are my signatures right now. What I wear when I dont want to use up my expensive stuff. Its got a fresh laundry detergent vibe to it. And I have to say I like it,

I love how this smells and I have zero performance issues with it. I've got a 2.5oz bottle that has the plain front (not the bottle with the logo on it that you see at the top of the page).

This is actually pretty good for the price. One of the better cheapy frags. Sweet in the begining, a nice masculine vanilla in the end, not feminine. Thumbs up from me

My Man has this, I bought it for him! i love it on him, reminds me of Fierce from Abercrombie & Fitch and WAAAAAAAY less expensive!

Truly exotic and elegant smell, but silage is poor.

Playboy New York is a nice cheapy but common clone scent but taken in a direction it has never been before. This is Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce, Axe Apollo or Ed Hardy Skull & Roses, and countless other fragrances. But it is one of those with a twist that don't exist in any of that corner of the mass market chick-magnet scent. While it does open like them a lot, in the mid and base, it is as if it was ever combined with Hugo Boss Boss Bottled but in a summery way like say Boss Bottled Tonic or Unlimited. It is an interesting twist on Fierce. It also shared some gourmandy but not gourmand similarities to Calvin Klein Reveal Men (which came out later.) I have to give props to whomever at Playboy fragrance came up with that idea for this scent. I know most times Playboy is sweetened if not gourmand takes on popular fragrances (that are or aren't already sweet scents) but this is really good stuff. It takes Fierce into a new direction and unique enough to not be a straight up clone or dupe like far too many in the market. I'd name them but we all know them and there are too many. That said the notes to copy Fierce are interesting and very New York with the unique vinyl and aledhydes replacing for fir. From there, it goes into a nearly Boss Bottled direction with the apple and some slight pepper. This gives it a slight feel of the apple and cinnamon you get with Boss Bottled and its various flankers or smell-alike. It is cemented with a vanilla and tonka bean base. The vanilla continues the feel of Boss Bottled but the tonka gives a Calvin Klein Reveal Men on its dry-down. Playboy does a pretty good job while it lasts. Due to the fact that it is Playboy, you get about six hours of longevity but it only projects maybe two hours at a moderate to soft level. A bit lacking considering Fierce. That said it is a lady pleaser while it lasts. My ex-girlfriend loves this on me. Overall I can give Playboy New York a 7.3 out of 10. If it lasted, it would be awesome because it took a common style scent but twisted it in its own way. It is the best of the Playboy scents I've used honestly. A best of the best in the cheapies.

First initial wearing: This stuff is another great fragrance from Playboy !!! They took what was great about Fierce (the fresh green vibe with vanilla) and took out the spices that made fierce loud and offensive when over applied. The vanilla in this is really nice as it really smoothed the fragrance out while the apple keeps the freshness. I like this WAY better than Fierce and Legend both. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So ive given this fragrance some time and I love this scent !!! Like I said in the earlier reviews it took what was great about Fierce (The fresh green vibe mixed with vanilla) and took out what was loud and offensive about it. The Vanilla in this is great as it makes this a creamier less offensive version of Fierce but still keeps that freshness. This is very well blended and smells WAY more expensive then what it really is. What this really smells like though is Apollo by AXE (Which is also a Fierce clone)and the body wash that goes with Apollo pairs perfectly and actually boosts New Yorks scent !!! Performance on this is great ! It lasts on me 8-12 hours but the only downside is projection is moderate for the first hour but quickly dies down to a skin scent. You can still smell this when you pass someone or if they get close to you. So if you loved Fierce and maybe only want to wear it sparingly this would be a great alternative concidering the price. Its also more subtle so it would be even better for casual use. AGAIN--- I like this smell WAY better than both Fierce and Legend. Overall rating- 8.5 out of 10 ! Great scent, great price, great longevity !!! If only projection would be better id give this a 9

Sweetness layered with some smoky/woody bits. Good cheapie for the first 3 hours. Intial - 2x sprays on each arm. Bottle is cheap, sprayer isn't great. Smells artificial. 10 min in - sweet with hints of the black pepper coming out, definitely see the Fierce comparisons. Actually got a random compliment as I walked around Walmart. Far too much lime. 1-3 hours - very good tonka bean/apple with a hint of the pepper, really adds the sexy complexion that other vanilla based frags lack (like Pi). I can totally see younger females loving this scent. Doesn't project that well unless you overspray in the beginning. 5+ - scent is only close to the skin, pepper fades completely leaving only a apple/creamy dry down. I wish I could reapply at this point. Very safe for work environments, nothing pops. 8 hours in and I still catch a wiff of it here and there but it's far too close to the skin for it to be noticeable. Good price. Great scent at 30 min - 3 hours. Great if you can store this in your locker and reapply. Drydown is boring (boss bottled clone). This would be great for rotating with a signature frag during fall/spring as I plan to do. Scent is linear but in the 30-3 hour mark has a great interplay between the sweetness of vanilla and the black pepper. This is a perfect pickup as a backup scent (gym, running to the store). Scent - 8/10 (only applies if compliments from younger females is your goal) Sillage - 5/10 Longevity - 6/10 - the best part doesn't last, but the base lingers on Final word -Very good for highschoolers - 18ish. Great if Fierce isn't popular in your area. You will need to OVERSPRAY in the beginning for it to last.

To me, this one is fresh and fruity, with a sweet woody undertone. First blast to me is Lime, Green Apple and Vanilla. The Apple actually stays with me the whole experience of the fragrance (which unfortunately is not much). After a while, i get the aldehydes along with the vetyver and the black pepper. These ingredients were probably added to insert a little depth to the scent, although they are not very successful at it. Is a very simple fragrance. For the younger crowd, too informal for the office, but great for college boys attending classes or parties (but keep in mind you'll have to reapply, since it doesn't last that much). I don't get the vinyl or the tonka bean, and i have no idea of what elemi resin must smell like, but honestly i don't miss them. For the price, is a very nice fragrance, even for gifts. For the everyday use, when you don't wanna be groundbreaking or wear more expensive scents. Rather colder weather. Is for the guy who wants to smell nice, freshly sweet, but simple. This guy will not be the center of attention, and maybe he doesn't want that, he just wants to have a good time, which is alright. He's the guy who likes bowling over popping champagne, if you know what i mean. For the price, probably would repurchase for everyday use.

A typical vanilla/tonka/sweet-ish/powdery scent of which there are plenty but this costs a lot less than most and is not bad. Initially smells quite synthetic/cheap with some non-descript citrus but is nicer after it settles. Becomes gently masculine, quite sweet but not too sweet, slightly woody and a little powdery. Smells generally fruity but I can't really smell any specific fruits. Doesn't feel very woody at all and I wouldn't describe it as spicy. Projects meaningfully for around 4 hours, after which it has little projection. Lasts as a skin scent for 9 or 10 hours. (All based on 2 sprays). I probably prefer the smell of this to Ferrari Black (I'm not suggesting they are similar - just both cheap vanilla scents) and this is cheaper as well. If I see this at a low price I might buy it again. A good value inoffensive, pleasant smelling, quite young, sweet-ish, everyday sort of fragrance that punches above its price.

I think REDLINE0007 shops where I do, this 15ml item can help get me discounted shipping. Reviews for this are solid, so I gave it a try. Very synthetic sweet apple and lime vibe, effervescent on initial spray, but pretty light and linear in style. I think the vinyl note throws me as I have never experienced it before, but yes I think I get it and it is quite prominent. This is an OK bang for the buck, nothing special, youthful in genre, makes a good reach if you just want to smell clean. I would not recommend this, but for the price it’s not your typical cheapie and is an interesting take. EDIT I threw this on today at random, and it smells nicer than it did yesterday? Opens with lime and apple, the vinyl note carries through and hangs in with a powdery vanilla. I should say, wear if you want to smell “powdery fresh” vs. clean. Still not anything life changing, but a solid cheapie for sure.

Be sure to give this a try, because for its relation price/performance this is a very good scent. I've never smelled A&F Fierce but i've smelled Montblanc's Legend and truly are similar, not only in smell also in quality if you know how much, where and when apply a few shots. The longevity and sillage increases if you use it in correct seasons like Summer and Fall, IMO this could work the entire year and be like a swiss knife for any ocassion. I use 4 sprays, 2 in each back of the ears and the job is done, you can apply 1 more in the chest if you want. I don't underrate this because has quality in it and works very well on my skin despite is like a "light scent". LONGEVITY: Cold Weather: 7 Hot Weather: 8 (6 to 8 Hours) SILLAGE: Moderate (be sure don't over spray) AGE: From 15 to 30 OVERALL: For me this is a 7 to 8 due its price and perfomance, a cheap but good scent :)

I bought this as a (much) cheaper alternative to A&F Fierce. It only cost me £8.00 on eBay for a 100ml bottle! The bottle looks cheap, and the sprayer is below average, in fact it's pretty poor to be honest. As far as the scent itself is concerned, I was actually pleasantly surprised - okay it's nothing miraculous or deep, but it does smell like a mix between Fierce and Curve, as some people have already mentioned! Lasting power, for the price, is acceptable, I get about 3-4 hours each wearing. Very close to the skin after 30 minutes so don't expect it to project like a beast! Can be used for casual wearing/around the house. Possibly used 'between the sheets' as it's not very strong but it will be smelt up close, and will most probably be appreciated by the opposite sex as it is a nice smell! Overall: Scent: 7/10 Projection: 5/10 Longevity: 5/10

Not having tried MB Legend, I can't comment on the similarity between that frag and PlayBoy New York. But I did have three bottles of AF Fierce, and similarity is most definitely there. In a few words: sweet, linear, safe-to-wear, best for daytime, summer & spring. On me the longevity is average (3 - 4 hours before becoming a skin scent), sillage is good for about an hour. I have a soft spot for AF Fierce, although it was a tad overpowering (and longer lasting). PlayBoy New York however is more subtle and muted, and therefore not likely to 'offend' anyone's sensitivities. It's an incredibly easy scent to wear around the house, and in the event you have to go out to run errands. This is recommend from me. Great price $9 from Chemist Warehouse Australia and highly wearable in Brisbane's warm climate.

#FR_Log3 - Blind buy rating : 5/10 I got my bottle which is 6 years old now and i got it because it reminded people of Fierce . This on its own stands great as it is versatile and is everyday gym/carpool safe. I like the opening as it is weird and honestly it carries the same lime vinyl aldehydic punch of opening till the very end till it lasts .This is some unusual kind of freshness which i like and it is not going sour on my skin . It got vanilla but there isn't prominent sweetness it is just the backbone. It is not available in my country since 2022 i guess. Grab one if you get it . Lasts 2 hrs. on skin with mild projection and 6 on clothes while you will be getting whiffs all day.

Awesome scent but slightly below average performance its a cheap fragrance (what you pay is what you get) however I don't dislike this, I love the scent, its nice fresh and fruity. It's great for Teenagers and young men. Just that the performance is the main issue with this. 2 sprays to either side of the neck would get me 2-3 hours maximum. If you are considering purchasing this I will just let you know that it is worth buying. but you most likely will need to spray a bit more than other cologne/fragrances to get ''standard'' power and longevity. Scent - 8.5/10 Silage/Projection - 5.5/10 Longevity - 5/10 Versatility - 8/10 Weather - All year round, Warm or Cold

An extremely simple fragrance. I can not smell any spices. Just a somehow easy relaxing fragrance. Fits those days you feel like nothing but a happy easy, fresh, fruty fragrance. Kind of days you stay at home or do nothing special. I could live without it very well but it's definitily worth having it because of its price & happy fruity mood. 100% synthetic but not bad at all. I do not really like this mini brand but this one & London (my favourite) are fine. VIP would have been my favourite if it had some projection & sillage. Its smell is very nice but zero projection while New York & London do stay for a day when sprayed on both your neck & your clothes

I also want to agree with FreddyK, this is great buy for the money. How wrong can you be, I got this 15 ML splash refillable bottle for $3.95 CAD/$3 USD, and once it finishes I will have a cool empty bottle with a Playboy logo to use as a travel container. This is no brainer! It is a good summary scent, reminds me of Paco Rabanne Invictus, PB NY also lasts couple hours. I would definitely recommend to others, and will buy again! Thank you P.S. IF YOU DON'T LIKE ONE FRAGRANCE YOU JUST SPRAYED ON AND THERE IS NO SHOWER NEAR, YOU CAN SIMPLY APPLY ANY HAND CREAM ON TOP OF THE SPRAY AREA AND THE SMELL IS GONE. Simple as that ;) hope this helps.

I was recommended this by Youtuber Joyamin. Very inexpensive bottle, only cost me only 8,00 USD free shipping. Smells very fruity and soapy, like fresh out the shower. It slightly reminds me of Jacque Bogart Pure Silver Scent. Fruity, kinda powdery except Playboy New York has more of a soapy scent. Sprays well, but projection is weak. Smell stays close to skin and I require more than 3 sprays around my neck to equal 1-2 sprays of other type of colognes. Overall good buy for the price. I take this wherever I go. My others stay in a collection at home in a cool place where they will not spoil.

Used the body spray, purchased it thanks to the reviews here. So glad I did, I can smell the vanilla presence but it's not too noticeable. I actually prefer that, because I come into contact with a lot of people at close quarters and some like fragrance and some really don't. So, I smell good and it's not bowling people over. Actually, the body spray does tend to hang more in the room where I sprayed it rather than on me, and it fades after 5-10 min, but it's fresh and generally good for what I need it for. Hope this helps somebody looking for Playboy or the body spray! :)

Better than what I've expected this to be. Good blend for the price. That vinyl note is crazy reminds me of old days somehow. The performance is pretty good about 6 hours of longevity and 1 hour of very good projection. The toka bean and vanilla is very prominent in this and in the dry down it gets even more heavy which gives the fragrance a better longevity. Huge scent bubbles around me for 2 hours and after that it's like a skin scent. Overall a pretty solid perfume with decent performance. I give it a 8 out of 10. Cheers!

The opening is something that is lacking. It’s bad but it’s not a great tell. It immediately becomes a skin scent. The skin scent is immensely better than the opening. I picked this up only due to the similarities that people on here posted and it was dirt cheap. This isn’t something I recommend to run out and get but if you’re starting a collection on a tiny budget this is better as a second option. This will find a place in my rotation but not in the first or second tier.

To me this is an okay fragrance. I wasn't expecting too much because I only paid a little over $10 for it. It's a nice smell but on my skin, it's very faint. I have to spray at least 10 times to smell it. It sits very close to the skin. lasts maybe 4-5 hours. I will say that vinyl note is different, in a good way. All in all I would recommend this fragrance for a teen or maybe a college student. I give it an overall 6/10 rating.

starts with aldehydes, then turns into fresh, sweet scent, you can smell the apple, pepper and tonka beans in the middle notes, then turns into a sweet synthetic scent, in a good way. The tonka bean is very sweet, but goes well with the vanilla. Longetivity is only 1-2 hours, projection is moderate, its best in hot weather. 6/10 only for the lack of longetivity and projection.

Its a good scent, and would be a safe blind-buy. Although its my favorite of the Playboy I personally didn't enjoy the synthetic and sharp scent; I don't ever wear this cologne going out, but put it on every now and again when I hop out of the shower or before I have people come over. Its unique, interesting, and especially cheap, if you have the chance at least give it a try.

I got this scent based on reviews on this site. I'm actually glad I did. It wears off after a couple hours if you're outside, and in most cases you'll get hit by the vanilla tone most. It's not at all bad, though. I liked it, and I don't think it's overpowering, but I'm using the body spray, not the edt bottle.

Just got this today at Ross 3.4oz for $9.99... This smells so much like Abercrombie Fierce but add a little hint of vanilla.. I have playboy malibu and it does not stay on my skin long but this one shockingly stays on my skin and clothes for hours.. everyones skin is different though.. lol!! hope this helps

There's a freshness I like in this, not your average freshie shower gel type, aromatics, airy, not detecting much vinyl and vanilla but i do think this is subtle and not sweet. Easy to wear. Lasting ok so far, be several hours. $12 fir a big bottle, could layer it (I'm female)

The bubblegum version of Fierce! Yes, it's really synthetic but in the air anyone won't notice that. Also i personally think Playboy New York even a better alternative to Montblanc Legend and has almost the same performances. Try it if can find it for less than 10 euros! 7/10

It smells really nice and it lasts more about 6 hours on me... For that price, its a absolutely must have..You can use it for everyday "casual".. Es riecht wirklich sehr angenehm und der Haltbarkeit für den Preis, find ich eigentlich ganz ok..

To me it smells like a light version of a typical vanilla fragrance for men. The twist is the slightly fresh, bitter opening that gives the fresh bathed impression. Kinda boring, perfect gym scent.

Very nice fragance for the price, I paid $5 but it smells much more expensive, I imagine this fragance under a design label, many will pay more. I am very satisfied.

Good fragrance and pocket friendly. Nice for teens who might not buy those more expensive brands. Found this in Wal -Greens for 3 bucks!! Similar to fierce.

007peter, I had Super Playboy and that as pretty much Beckham The Essence but it wasn't as good. No apple, no vinyl and no aldehydes.

Loved it, but it used to last no more than 3h on me, anyway, I would buy it again, reminds me of Montblanc Legend.

Yeah... smells very synthetic, but the fragrance is quite good! It's sweet and powerful, great for young people.
