Manhattan

Manhattan by City Rhythm is a layered, richly textured fragrance that combines fresh green and ozonic notes with warm, sweet tobacco and vanilla. It opens with a bright burst of bergamot, cinnamon, and violet leaf, creating a spicy, aromatic lift that evokes a crisp citrus tea. As it develops, distinct tea, myrrh, and labdanum notes emerge, softened by a subtle powdery green delicacy. The heart leans into a creamy, smooth tobacco with touches of incense and spice, leading to a dry, slightly earthy base of vanilla, cedar, and vetiver. This transformation results in a scent that feels both modern and timeless — uniquely urban, with a refined elegance. The performance is impressive, with long-lasting longevity and moderate to strong sillage, making it a standout choice for cooler weather. It’s versatile enough for night wear and can be worn during the day with confidence, though it shines most in autumn and winter. Several reviewers note a head-turning quality, with many compliments received, even from strangers. Some find the green-tobacco character too reminiscent of dry, used cigarette smoke, but overall, the fragrance is considered highly compelling, offering an inspiring, self-empowering vibe rooted in urban strength and resilience.
