The light airiness of this cologne makes it an excellent spring fragrance. Nieuw Amsterdam is an artistic fragrance that sends you to a pristine modern art museum. It has traditional elements of rose, peony, and amber while mixing with surprises like ginger and honeysuckle that draw interest from those around you. The close sillage of this perfume works well for small, intimate gatherings where it can be appreciated for its light, floral scent and where its ambery, woody base will shine through.
