This is super fresh, green and sporty one that is suitable for hot weather mostly so prefer it in summers and day time. this smells so synthetic aluminum, fresh cut lemongrass, not in a good way but 45mins when it settles into your skin it's a whole different scent,it smells great after you let it chill on your skin for a bit but as far as the first sprays it sucks don't let them hype you on this bs like they did me to me not worth the money for just the dry down. until last year when I started wearing it again, and fell in love with that fresh/green grassy accord. I really like this one, I smell Citrus, Spice, Green notes, Light floral, light wood and a sort of clay like smell, no worries, its not bad, i think its the Labdanum.

I've never been to New York, but this fragrance definitely makes me think of the Bay Area, the BART train, and the fog in the summertime.The main issue here is that the current performance is mediocre at best on my skin, it projects very well and I (and other people) can smell it when I'm moving around for at least an hour, but then it turns into a skin scent and not long after disappears altogether. people say that bvlgari doesnt last but compared to this formulation the glacial essence has more depth character. Hold the fragrance approx 5 inches away and spray your skin, focusing on pulse points (neck, wrists etc) and/or spray generously in front of you and walk through for a full coverage. Opens with a strong, sharp combination of green and spicy notes: this part of the perfume is long lasting, not bad, but bit soapy for me.

The green notes here are very unique, I didn't think that a fragrance evoking a blade of grass to my nose would be enjoyable but surprisingly this just works. Its a very pleasant cologne, suitable for outdoors, in the office if not sprayed on too much, or even date nights walking through the city.Wearing it: I like to spray this on my wrists, sides, one spray on chest and one on the back of my neck. Nice to say its still mostly the same as a I remember it -- a spicy citrus that I would wear anytime except the colder months. Right back in 2001, I can say it's one of the sexiest fragrance on the market but current formulation with 212 NYC smells shitty. On the performance front I just would like to say that every single time I wear it, I come home from work like 12 hours after spraying and my fiancee knows I arrived home even if she does not hear me, because the scent fills the whole house.
