The Manhattan Scandal (Inspired by FDB New York 5th Avenue)

An opulent, seductive and beautifully sophisticated woody-floral gourmand fragrance inspired by Fragrance Du Bois New York 5th Avenue. A captivating fusion of velvety rose, indulgent caramel, delicate violet, creamy vanilla and luxurious woods, this exquisite composition captures the glamour, excitement and irresistible allure of Manhattan after dark.

The fragrance opens with an elegant combination of rose and bergamot. The rich, romantic beauty of rose introduces a luxurious floral character, while sparkling bergamot provides a refreshing citrus brightness. Together, they create a sophisticated opening that feels radiant, polished and effortlessly elegant.

At its heart, golden caramel takes centre stage, introducing a deliciously smooth, buttery sweetness that feels indulgent without becoming overly sugary. This gourmand richness is beautifully contrasted by Cypriol Oil (Nagarmotha), which adds a distinctive earthy, woody and subtly smoky character.

Delicate violet brings a soft, powdery floral elegance, creating an intriguing contrast between the creamy sweetness of caramel and the darker, more mysterious character of cypriol. The result is a beautifully textured heart that feels both comforting and seductive.

As The Manhattan Scandal settles, the fragrance reveals its most luxurious character. Cashmere wood envelops the composition in a soft, velvety woody warmth, while vanilla introduces a rich, creamy sweetness that beautifully complements the caramel heart.

Musk adds a smooth, sensual softness, creating an intimate, skin-like warmth. Finally, guaiac wood introduces a refined smoky and resinous depth, giving the fragrance a sophisticated woody foundation that balances its sweeter elements.

The result is an irresistible harmony of romantic rose, golden caramel, powdery violet, creamy vanilla and sensual woods. Sweet yet sophisticated, comforting yet provocative, The Manhattan Scandal is a fragrance that effortlessly combines gourmand indulgence with refined woody elegance.

What makes this fragrance particularly captivating is its contrast of personalities. The opening is elegant and floral, the heart is deliciously indulgent, and the base is warm, woody and deeply sensual. Each stage reveals another layer of its luxurious character.

Perfect for romantic evenings, special occasions, cooler seasons and anyone who appreciates sophisticated gourmand fragrances with a darker woody edge, The Manhattan Scandal is designed to leave a memorable impression.
