Named after the most dynamic, most exuberant, most colorful, most rapidly exanding neighborhood in New York City, Chinatown has captured the essence of Chinatown in this seductively exotic eau de parfum. It's topnote is a burst of peach blossom - a mystic fruit in Chinse mythology that Taoists consider the elixir of life. The midnotes are an intoxicating cross-cultural bouquet: Peony (known as Sho Yo, or Most Beautiful, the Chinese flower of love, luxury and indugence), blended with creamy-sweet gardenia and sultry tuberose and mouth-watering patchouli, which adds a spiky note to the other florals. The lingering base notes are cardamon and dark woods (recalling the scent of Chinese inlaid lacquered boxes). An original perfume that carries forward the long tradition of the oriental perfumes that held sway in the 20th century but with a New York aesthetic in the mix! A beautifully original fragrance. 3.3oz
