Gotham
Fragrance notes
Gotham suits someone who wants a complex, evolving scent for cooler days and evenings. It works well when you want a fragrance that feels both polished and slightly unconventional. The wearer experiences a mix of brightness and depth that shifts as the hours pass. It is a good choice for those who enjoy florals that do not lean too sweet and woods that do not feel dry. People who prefer very simple, transparent scents may find the composition too busy for daily use.
The opening combines ylang-ylang, bergamot, yuzu, Turkish rose, and coriander with ambergris. This creates a citrus and yellow floral start that feels fresh and slightly salty. The heart introduces blue lotus, violet leaf, rose, jade flower, cedar, iris, lavender, myrrh, and palisander rosewood. These notes build a floral, aromatic, and slightly powdery middle. The base settles into muskrat, black pepper, oak, clary sage, oud, labdanum, saffron, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, and vanilla.
Together, the notes create a profile that is floral, fresh spicy, citrus, ozonic, animalic, aquatic, woody, amber, yellow floral, and aromatic. The vanilla and amber soften the sharper spices and woods. The muskrat and ambergris add an animalic, aquatic edge to the florals. The scent feels balanced between its fresh top and heavy base. It closes on the oud, vetiver, and saffron.
