Last November, we spent an enchanted evening at the new Amaffi perfume boutique in Manhattan before the luxe perfumer whisked us off to a Babette’s feast at Restaurant Daniel. So we were delighted to hear that the company has selected three fragrances from its myriad collection to highlight for spring.
Arcanum, for women, blends jasmine, patchouli and tonka bean in a multifaceted, silver-plated, crystal bottle ($7,100). Keeping with the jasmine theme, Black Jasmin salutes women with jasmine, vanilla and labdanum in a modern amber, crystal and hand-polished gold bottle that evokes a New York skyscraper ($5,000).
For you sea gods out there – and we’re coming up to your season – there’s Poseidon, a cologne that lets you ride the wave of orange blossom and juniper in a glass bottle with a handmade medallion depicting the tempestuous Greek god of the sea ($5,000).
Yes, we know, the prices. But then, each comes with a second plain bottle of the fragrance, so you don’t have to walk around with the crystal masterpiece.
The trio and its sibling scents are exclusively available at Amaffi, 44 E. 57th St. For more, call 646-360-3695 or visit amaffi.com.
