Overview
Bold, vibrant, and full of contrast, New York The City of Dreams by Lattafa is a chypre floral fragrance that blends juicy fruit, warm spice, and deep woody richness. It opens with a striking mix of cherry, nutmeg, and black pepper, delivering a sweet yet spicy introduction that feels energetic and attention-grabbing. As it develops, mimosa, rose, and a smooth cognac accord create a warm, slightly floral and boozy heart that adds depth and sophistication. The dry-down settles into a rich base of labdanum, oakmoss, cedarwood, and patchouli, leaving a woody, slightly earthy and resinous trail that feels bold and long-lasting.
New York The City of Dreams delivers a fruity-spicy profile with a woody chypre base—complex, modern, and built to stand out.
Fragrance Notes
Top: Cherry, Nutmeg, Black Pepper
Middle: Mimosa, Rose, Cognac
Base: Labdanum, Oakmoss, Cedarwood, Patchouli
Inspired & Occasion
This fragrance sits in the fruity chypre / spicy woody lane, offering a more niche-style profile compared to typical sweet designer scents. The cherry + spice + cognac combination gives it a bold, slightly upscale vibe.
It’s best suited for:
- Fall & winter
- Nighttime wear
- Date nights / upscale settings
This falls into the “fruity-boozy statement scent” category—unique, slightly daring, and designed for presence rather than subtlety.
Try Before You Commit
The fragrance opens with a juicy cherry note sharpened by spice, creating a sweet yet edgy first impression. Within 10–15 minutes, the cognac and florals emerge, adding warmth and smoothness. As it dries down, oakmoss and woods take over, leaving a deep, slightly earthy and refined trail that lingers with a bold and modern finish.

What's in the vial
What's in the vial
Every size is hand-filled from the original retail bottle. 1ml is a glass sample vial — roughly 10–12 sprays, enough to wear the scent for two or three days and see how it sits on your skin. 2ml, 5ml and 10ml come in refillable spray atomizers you can carry.

Will it smell like the original?
Where we name a designer reference, this fragrance was built in its image — close, not identical. Expect the same character and a different opening, drydown or longevity. The link above takes you to every other interpretation of that reference, and when we stock the genuine original you can decant both and decide for yourself.

Safety and use
Safety and use
Flammable. Fragrance contains alcohol. Keep away from heat, open flame and sparks, and don't spray near a lit cigarette or candle.
For external use only. Do not swallow. Avoid the eyes, mouth and broken or irritated skin. If it gets in your eyes, rinse well with water. If swallowed, contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) or a doctor.
Patch-test first. Fragrances contain natural and synthetic ingredients that can cause skin reactions in some people. Before wearing a new scent, spray a small area (like the inner arm) and wait 24 hours. Stop using it if redness, itching or a rash appears, and see a doctor if it continues. If you have known fragrance allergies or sensitive skin, ask your doctor before use.
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Sample vials are small glass and can break, and small parts can be a choking hazard.
Storage. Store upright, tightly closed, at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
