by Mandarina Duck
Let's Travel To New York For Man by Mandarina Duck offers a soft, powdery masculine scent with a charmingly sweet and comforting character. It opens with a light, airy bergamot and carrot seeds, adding a subtle fruity and root-like powderiness that avoids being cloying. The heart features a delicate blend of freesia and orris, creating a smooth, mellow floral powdery accord reminiscent of baby powder or fine linen, which gives the fragrance its signature elegance. The base brings in creamy sandalwood, blue cedar, and coumarin, evoking a warm, slightly hay-like sweetness that subtly adds depth without overpowering. Though well-constructed and pleasantly wearable, it lacks strong projection and longevity — typical performance is moderate, lasting around 6 to 8 hours. The scent feels close in spirit to La Nuit de l'Homme, though softer and more accessible, with a clean, lounge-appropriate aura that suits daytime use. It wears like a well-tailored suit, ideal for office settings or casual outings in spring and autumn. The perfume’s resilience and sillage are modest, making it best suited for quiet moments or close encounters rather than head-turning presence.
