Stiletto: The Sophisticated Scent that Manifests Our Shoe Obsession

Behind Nicole Amy, one of her many guests posed in front of the step and repeat while touting a sultry studded Stiletto-shaped perfume bottle. Then seemingly out of nowhere, a musky aroma wafted around the room as the designer’s premiere fragrance fell from the palm of the guest’s hand, and heavy pieces of glass shattered onto the floor. Amy glanced at the spill, and coolly referred to the promotional table next to us; “One down!” She smirked. “We still have 3 more bottles left.”

Stiletto by Nicole Amy Fragrances is a deep feminine musk with notes of sandalwood and vanilla bean. The enduring scent is sexy and sweet without the overpowering reputation musks have. Amy herself is infused with confidence and entrepreneurial gusto. I assumed this was derived from the toughness associated with Amy having lived in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New Jersey. Anyway her persistence has paid off as she managed to have her launch sponsored Fuze, Fujifilm and Gansevoort; the last of which held the event at their Park Avenue location.

In addition to the stiletto-pump design and luxurious velvet lined “shoebox” packaging, Nicole Amy’s Stiletto boasts a unique and very entrepreneurial creation story. While taking a class in entrepreneurship at Monmouth University, Amy heard of a fragrance created by a group of students and picked up where they left off. Amy cites her internship developing “Artisan” at John Varvatos as a major help, but also mentions her perfectionist nature and determination.
