I love perfumes but I am quite picky with them. I love the fresh, citrusy, aquatic scents during the day, and something floral, musky, or woody at night. I am usually drawn towards the perfumes for women as they tend to be on the light and floral notes.

I remember while I was in Japan during my one year work assignment, I used to buy perfumes almost every month but I always go to where the perfumes are on sale because you know, perfumes are expensive. Yet I was blessed with the means to buy these perfumes, I somehow came into fruition that this was an addictive and a costly hobby, agree?

Then here comes the long lasting yet affordable LIC NEW YORK perfumes.

I had the chance to attend an exclusive launch of the LIC NEW YORK perfume line where the founder, a New York-based Filipino entrepreneur, fashion designer, painter, and practicing Nurse-Physical Therapist ROMMEL RICO personally precided over the launch.

Rommel is back from New York with a line of fragrance inspired by luxury scents from New York with a lively nightlife scene, must-visit restaurants, and contemporary art. I have never been there but I imagine it as one area with a mixture of busy artsy, professional, and fashionable people knowing that New York is one of the most prominent fashion capitals of the world.

Since most of haven’t been to New York, Rommel wants to bring New York closer to Filipinos with his LIC NEW YORK perfume line. More than the ingredients of the perfume, Rommel wants his perfume line to be a representation of his memories and feelings of New York.

Here are some of the fragrances:

OTHER SCENTS AND FRAGRANCES

Though these fragrances have been New YorK inspired, these were attuned to the preferences of the Filipino market. Rommel’s vision is to make luxurious perfumes more accessible to Filipinos so this line just ranges from Php 199 to Php 599 only. I’ve tried the perfumes and they are definitely promising and mind you, they are long lasting. I am excited for the upcoming scents!

So, if you’re searching for affordable perfumes and colognes, LIC New York Perfume lets you indulge in luxurious, long-lasting fragrances without the hefty price tag.
