Derek Lam 10 Crosby - Which Is Your Favorite?

[DerekLam]

What do you know about Derek Lam 10 Crosby? 

Fragrance collection Derek Lam 10 Crosby was created by Fashion Designer Derek Lam. Each fragrance features the true form and essence of its raw ingredients. The scents are constructed to wear beautifully from day into night, and they have a balance of diffusion and tenacity. Derek selected the color palate to be varied in hue to tone. He first selected fabric swatches, then worked on translating those colors into glass. From fresh and floral to deep and oriental, the scents constructions vary from simple and chic to complex and sophisticated, yet all are modern and unique.

This collection is filled with 10 distinctive, modern fragrances based upon one street, 10 stories, 10 moments. An adventure, a romance, a party and a surprise, all inspired from the world seen and imagined outside Derek Lam’s window at 10 Crosby Street in New York City. 

Learn more about all 10 fragrances in the collection below!

Something Wild is my current favourite! Smells wonderful! Buying the big bottle!

Silent St! I had to stop wearing all perfumes years ago because they would give me headaches/migraines every single day. I tried Silent St and was really pleasantly surprised that I can wear it everyday with no problem at all! Thanks for creating a fragrance that is so light and wearable

[uzi1234]

I love and own the full sizes of Silent St., Ellipsis and Something Wild. In my opinion they arent super strong or light they are just right-no headaches and I love smelling myself when I wear them -basically self gratification!!!lol

I love rain day , when wearing it I always get compliments . its a very light spring/summer sent .

[Samtian]

I haven't tried all of them yet. But I did finish off Silent Street, I found it to be just ok. It wasn't wild enough like the description says, I found it too tame.

Oh, the blackout one sounds intriguing! I love anything with tea notes, from delicate white tea to complex chai. I also love fresh scents, so the rainy day one sounds nice, too. 

Also, I love that you have travel sizes now! The fact that it's a spray rather than a rollerball is even better. I'm really curious about the parfum sticks, as well.

[DerekLam]

Let us know what you think once you try Blackout or Rain Day! The parfum stick is a great way to try both of these amazing scents - portable and on-the-go 🙂 

[pocketvenus]

I like spicy scents and not so much sweetness and tonka so perhaps the blackout? But tbh, if you posted the noses behind the scents, I would want to try the ones by anyone I recognized/liked 🙂

[DerekLam]

Blackout is a must to try! Let us know what you think! Hope you love it, pocketvenus! 

[pocketvenus]

Any chance you might be able to tell us more about the noses behind the scents? Usually I can find this info on Fragrantica but I don't see anyone listed...

[Mcakes]

I've actually don't think I've tried anything from Derek Lam yet. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this post @DerekLam! Based on the descriptions I'm most eager to try out Dusk on Crosby Street and Every Day on Crosby Street. I'll have to remember to give these a sniff next time I'm in store 🙂

Hope you get a chance to experience Derek Lam 10 Crosby next time you visit Sephora! 🙂
