Fragrance house Bond No 9 has made a tribute to most places in New York City. Popular city locales, beaches and historic landmarks served as the inspiration by perfumers in creating these fragrances with Laurent Le Guernec leading the creative team.
Let’s explore some of the fragrances from each locale:
Park Avenue
(Uptown)
This a light floral fragrance composed of mimosa, lemon, chamomile, paperwhite, rose, musk, ebony and vanilla. It’s a “sweet mélange of florals that floats through the air like a whiff of well-brewed tea.” This is a soothing and elegant scent, wearable and pretty enough for work days. The only thing missing with Park Avenue is the lack of a good sillage; it quickly dissipates into the air.
Broadway Nite
(Midtown)
For the love of theater and night life at the city, Broadway Nite will catch your fancy. It’s a “non-stop razzle dazzle in a fantasy floral bouquet.” Created by perfumer Maurice Roucel, the notes feature aldehyde, green violet, rose, honeysuckle, iris, heliotrope, sweet amber, vanilla beans, cedar wood and musk. Aldehydes are the most dominant notes at the top while violets and roses mingle with vanilla and musk. There is a smooth transition in each level – top to middle then base. This fragrance has superb sillage and longevity.
Astor Place
(Downtown)
New York’s artsy and stylish intersection takes form in a lovely unisex fragrance laced with feminine tendencies. Astor Place is a light floral fragrance starring freesia. The scent is as delicate as the white floral accords; it’s a clean, refreshing fragrance all throughout. The notes are: violet leaf, mandarin zest, freesia, red poppy buds, orris root, teakwood, musk and amber. The dry down is hardly felt; the amber didn’t perform that well.
The Bond No 9 collection is consist of 39 fragrances that defines New York’s neigborhood from uptown NYto downtown. According to the fragrance house, they aim to “restore artistry to perfumery and mark every New York neighborhood with a scent of its own”.
