Perfumer: Aurélien Guichard | Launched: 2018 | Olfactory Family: Oriental Woody

Note Profile & Why They Work: Lafayette Street is a high-concentration, avant-garde masterpiece designed to capture the vibrant, urban energy of New York City’s most historic neighborhood. The opening is an immediate, high-stakes surge of energy: Bergamot, Coriander, and Floral Notes. This bright, spicy-fresh opening is perfectly balanced by the clean, aromatic bite of coriander, delivering an instant, high-energy splash of upscale freshness right from the first spray. The heart transitions into the intoxicating, show-stopping soul of the scent: Ambroxan, Apple, and Vanilla. By utilizing the magnetic, skin-like radiance of ambroxan against the crisp, fruity sweetness of apple and the creamy comfort of vanilla, the composition offers a lush, velvety, and incredibly realistic heart that radiates pure, modern elegance and strength. The dry-down is an absolute masterclass in longevity and sophisticated grounding—a dense, creamy foundation of Tonka Bean, Ambergris, and Woodsy Notes that melts into the skin to leave an unforgettable, comforting second-skin trail that lingers for 8 to 10 hours.

Vibe: Boldly confident, enigmatic, and impeccably polished. It carries the magnificent energy of a custom-tailored street-style ensemble, a high-stakes urban environment, or any moment you want to command the room with quiet, sophisticated, oriental-woody authority.

Performance: Powerfully reliable and elite. Lafayette Street projects a radiant, head-turning scent bubble for the first several hours—drawing endless compliments from those around you—before settling into a rich, creamy skin contour that stays with you all day.

Season: An exceptional, true year-round powerhouse. Its crisp, bergamot-and-apple clarity sparkles flawlessly in the warmth of Spring and Summer days, yet it possesses more than enough rich, tonka-and-ambergris depth to radiate with powerful, magnetic precision on cool Autumn and Winter evenings.
