My Fifth Avenue

My Fifth Avenue

A sparkling citrus-floral opening of lemon, mandarin and violet leaf melts into an airy bouquet of lotus, jasmine, lily of the valley, pear and rose, settling on a clean veil of musk, amberwood, cedar and soft orris. A fresh, polished floral-woody-musk with an easy, urban elegance.

Scent Development and Character

A bright, modern floral-woody-musk built around sparkling citrus and airy white florals over a clean, musky-woody base. Lemon and mandarin illuminate soft floral and violet-leaf facets, leading into a transparent bouquet of lotus, jasmine, lily of the valley, pear and rose. As it dries down, silky musk, amberwood, cedar and a gentle orris nuance create a polished, quietly elegant trail that feels fresh, urban and understatedly feminine.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to daytime and office wear, this clean, modern floral-woody-musk works well as an easy signature in spring and summer and transitions smoothly into mild autumn weather. Its understated trail makes it appropriate for close quarters, commuting and professional settings while still feeling polished enough for casual social occasions. Most appropriate for spring and summer, with enough softness and warmth to work in mild autumn; less suited to very cold winter weather. Sillage is Soft to moderate sillage, noticeable in the first hour or two as a light aura before settling into a discreet, personal scent. Longevity is Moderate longevity of around 4–6 hours on skin for most wearers, with a gradual, close-to-skin drydown.

Perfumer and Bottle

Released in 2018, this is presented as Eau de Parfum and credited to Olivier Gillotin. Tall, clear glass bottle with sharp, architectural facets, narrowing slightly toward the base and widening toward the shoulders, evoking a modern skyscraper. The juice appears pale and luminous, with the name “My Fifth Avenue” printed vertically on the front and a sleek, rectangular metallic cap completing the streamlined silhouette.
