Madison Square Park

These are two different eau de parfums exploring two different sides of New York. Fragrance expert Arnaud Marolleau, consultant of Prestige Brands, Inc., who visited the Philippines for the launch, said that Madison Square Park resembles the quirkiness of the TV series Sex in the City.http://lasmuestrasenelperfumedelafragance.blogspot.com/

It contains notes of grape hyacinth, huckleberry, prairie dropseed grass, red leaf rose, red hunter tullips, and teakwood -- a light floral, crisp grass scent with a slight coolness like that of a spring breeze.

“[The scent] is very fresh, exactly like a walk around the park,” said Mr. Marolleau.

The perfume is encased in a vibrant neon pink and green bottle with a removable grass-green rose which can be used as a bracelet or as a brooch.

Meanwhile, Mr. Marolleau described New York Oud as the “essence of seduction.”

“[It’s] an extreme, powerful, dramatic scent that can possess a date,” he said.

Oud, he explained, was known as the essence of love used by royalty.
