If Carrie Bradshaw’s saying, “people come to New York in search of 2 L’s: labels and love” is true, then Derek Lam’s newest collection is the ultimate olfactory ode to the city that never sleeps. The collection of ten fragrances under the helm of Lam’s more affordable line, 10 Crosby Derek Lam, is essentially the life of a New York millennial captured in a bottle. To accompany the collection, the designer will release a series of ten films to tell the story of each scent. So, whether you’re Drunk on Youth, recovering from last night’s Blackout, or feeling nostalgic about those 2 AM kisses you used to steal from strangers on Crosby Street, the collection has something just for you.

Find your story and catch all 10 films here on February 3rd. 

Purchase the full collection in travel size for $95, or individually in 1.7 oz. ($95) or 5.9 oz. ($175), on the Derek Lam site.
