Behind the Bottle: How New York Army Perfumes Are Made

NewYork Army’s Work and Skill: A Special NYA Overview

In this day and age, when we think about perfume, we might tend to link it with some form of art, emotion, and even storytelling. This is the perfume NewYork Army (NYA) seeks to create. To NYA each fragrance resonates with the unique character of NewYork, an ever-changing city filled with life. It’s beautiful yet complex, captures everything from city chaos to love, a literal NewYork moment in every spritz. But what really goes on behind the scenes? In this unique case, it is safe to say none of the work is easy. A singular impression and fragrance requires a lot of imagination, and determination; exactly what the branding team captures in every nook and cranny while traversing the dubbed concrete jungle. Let's now discuss the exacting artistry that goes into every NYA perfume, not simply the work but the essence of the city wrapped in a bottle.  

Inspiration: The Essence Of NewYork For NYA fragrances  

Every NYA fragrance is rooted in different parts of major NYC landmarks and mixes that with the legendary skyline. The team projects out the imagination of the people themselves, with themes such as the electric beats of Times Square, the artistic side captured through Brooklyn, ambition for Wall Street and some twisting through the eternal Central Park, one can see how it all comes together.

• Before a single drop of perfume is blended, the team asks:
• What emotion or memory does this scent evoke? 
• Which aspect of NewYork’s character will it capture? 
• Who is the wearer, and how do they feel with this perfume on?

This vision guides every step of the process, ensuring that every NYA perfume is a distinct and authentic narrative.

Sourcing the Best Ingredients

Creating a world class fragrance begins with acquiring the best raw materials. NYA’s perfumers scours the world for exquisite ingredients such as: delicate rosa from Bulgaria, creamy Sandalwood from India, zestful citrics from Sicily, and rare oud perfume from southeast Asia. All these ingredients are not only chosen based on their quality, but also on the emotions and memories they invoke.  

Sustainability is one of the cornerstones of NYA’s philosophy. The brand works with ethical growers and suppliers which guarantees the responsible and traceable harvesting of materials. This commitment also includes supporting local communities and preserving the ecosystems from which these invaluable materials originate.  

The Blending Process

The creativity in perfume-making centers along a specific perfume blending, a cross of artistry and science. Often blended by seasoned maestros with decades of experience, NYA scents are crafted with creativity, technical know-how, and unique multi-layered essence.

The Structure of a Perfume

An exquisite perfume reveals itself in three distinct stages:

Top Notes: The first impression, which tends to be fresh, citrus, or green. These notes are vibrant but short lived as they create an impression of what’s to come. 

Heart (Middle) Notes: The middle part of the perfume, usually containing floral, spicy, or fruity notes. It is the essence of the perfume and it comes out as the top notes fade.

Base Notes: The foundation which contains earthy tones such as woods, musk, or resin that last for several hours adding depth and permanence to the scent.  

At NYA, the perfumers test numerous combinations, tweaking ratios down to the smallest values until achieving the best balance possible. Every mixture is tested on the skin to determine how the fragrance blends with one’s body chemistry to ensure the scent evolves beautifully over the day. 

Scene Meets Classic

Innovation can be NYA’s focus with no compromise because they respect classic perfumery traditions. Usage of new sustainable synthetics, new extraction methods, and strange ingredient combinations add timeless pieces to the brand. Shifts like an older woody base stretched with a refreshing watery note or a floral heart kissed by spicy pepper or incense creates unforgettable pieces.

The blend of old and new is what makes NYA’s perfumes stand out—NewYork City and NYA's perfumes are timeless, yet distinctly contemporary.  

The Aging Process: Patience Pays Off

Finalized blends undergo aging, a crucial step for perfumes. Ingredients take time to blend and mature, which is necessary for merging interactivity and sophistication. Perfume, like fine wine, benefits from “rest.” NYA lets batches sit in stainless steel vats for weeks to months, allowing molecular interaction to emerge.  

The fragrance refine processes during aging smooth out sharp edges, deepen base notes, and ensure harmony for the final fragrance. After the patient waiting period, only then is the perfume bottling ready.  

Bottling and Presentation: Last Touch

At NYA, packaging remains an extension of the brand’s philosophy whilst sleek, modern, and timelessly NewYorker. Important to the fragrance, the glass regal and heavy reveals scents whilst the simplistic labels an understated luxury.

Every bottle needs to be filled and checked individually which guarantees that they all meet the standards set out by NYA. The final product is pleasing to hold, show off, and most importantly wear.
