We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.
What's the closest accessible alternative to New York Nights?
We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to New York Nights by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke New York Nights, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.
Is New York Nights for men or women?
Bond No. 9 New York Nights is listed as unisex, marketed for anyone, which is how we'd wear it too. Fragrance has no inherent gender; the label just reflects how the retailer sells it.

We list the genuine original first, always. Fragrance Hunter earns affiliate commissions on outbound links across the site, on both original bottles and accessible alternatives, at no cost to you. Because we earn the same either way, what pays us never sets the order we rank things in; the ranking answers to the cited accords, not a sponsor (how we pick, and how we earn). Accessible alternatives are imitations of a named original; related fragrances are independent houses' own creations that stand as originals in their own right. We label which is which, and never present an imitation as the original. Prices are indicative, set by the retailer, and change. Accords are coarse scent families cited from brand or retailer sources; an alternative evokes the profile, it is not the same formula.
