New York The City Of Dreams Perfume 100ml EDP is one of the most talked-about releases in the Lattafa Pride city series, a line that bottles the spirit of the world's great capitals. This chapter is pure after-dark glamour: a boozy cherry and cognac composition laced with spice, florals and dark woods. It captures that heady moment when the skyline lights up and the evening feels full of possibility. Rich, plush and unapologetically seductive, it is a fragrance made for making an entrance.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
The first spray delivers glossy black cherry wrapped in freshly cracked black pepper and warm nutmeg. The cherry is ripe and liqueur-like rather than sugary, and the spices give it an immediate grown-up edge. It is a bold, confident opening that announces itself without ever becoming harsh.
The Heart
The heart is where the dream unfolds. A swirl of cognac pours warmth through the composition, its brandied richness folding into mimosa, rose and muguet. The florals soften the booze and fruit into something velvety and romantic, like candlelight reflected in a glass. This stage is plush, smooth and quietly intoxicating.
The Dry Down
As the hours pass, New York The City Of Dreams settles onto a sophisticated bed of patchouli, labdanum, cedarwood and oakmoss. The patchouli brings dark, earthy depth, the labdanum a resinous amber glow, and the mossy woods a classic, tailored finish. The result is a dry down that feels expensive and lingers beautifully.

Longevity and Performance
This is a proper evening performer. Expect eight to ten hours on skin with strong projection for the first three, leaving a rich cherry-cognac trail wherever you go. On clothing it can easily still be there the next morning. Two to three sprays are all you need; it is generous juice and rewards restraint.
When to Wear It
Suited to autumn and winter above all, this is a cold-weather showpiece that comes alive on crisp evenings. Wear it for dinner dates, parties, city breaks and any occasion where you want to be remembered. It is too rich for a heatwave and a touch bold for a quiet office, but from dusk onwards in the cooler months it is close to unbeatable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is New York The City Of Dreams unisex?
Yes. The cherry and florals lean plush and romantic while the spice, cognac and woods keep it firmly wearable for everyone. It is a true shared-wardrobe fragrance.
Is the cherry note sweet or boozy?
Boozy. The cherry sits alongside cognac, pepper and nutmeg, so it reads as a dark cherry liqueur rather than a confectionery cherry.
How does it compare with London The City Of Contrast?
London is brighter and more contrasting in character, while New York is darker, smoother and more evening-focused. Many collectors keep both for different moods.
Is this the full 100ml bottle?
Yes, this is the full-size 100ml eau de parfum in its original Lattafa Pride presentation box.
