If comfort could be bottled, it would smell like Bond Number One New York.
There are fragrances that sing—bright, bold, and unapologetically expressive—and then there are those that murmur softly, leaving an unforgettable trail of quiet elegance. Bond Number One New York, the latest creation from Bond No. 9, falls firmly into the latter. It whispers luxury with every note, enveloping you like a warm cashmere embrace.
Inspired by Manhattan’s rich artistic legacy, this eau de parfum is a masterful blend of timeless sophistication and contemporary edge. The scent opens with a luminous burst of Italian bergamot, giving way to the intoxicating floral heart of ylang ylang. At its core lies white musk—reimagined and elevated for the modern connoisseur—wrapped in layers of Bulgarian rose and jasmine that add a soft, romantic depth. The dry-down is nothing short of addictive, with creamy notes of Brazilian tonka bean, Madagascar vanilla, Indonesian patchouli, and cashmere wood leaving a velvety, musky trail on the skin.
Encased in a regal purple bottle, textured with a bold crocodile-skin motif and adorned with gold lettering, Bond Number One New York is a visual statement as much as an olfactory one. But beyond its stunning aesthetic lies a deeper commitment: the silhouette bottle is 100% recyclable and crafted using 50% recycled cullet, reflecting the brand’s ongoing dedication to sustainable luxury.
True to Bond No. 9’s reputation, Bond Number One New York offers impressive longevity and projection without ever overpowering. This eau de parfum wears close to the skin in the most elegant way, gradually unfolding over 8 hours. The sillage is moderate—enough to draw compliments without announcing your arrival—which makes it ideal for both daytime sophistication and intimate evening wear. As the scent warms on the skin, the creamy musk and vanilla base continue to glow softly, creating a cocoon of warmth that lasts well into the night.
Available at Bond No. 9 boutiques, Harrods, Selfridges, and online, this eau de parfum is priced at £390 for 100 ml.
Whether you’re a long-time lover of white musk or in search of a signature scent that fuses comfort with elegance, Bond Number One New York offers a luxurious take on modern perfumery. From the very first spritz, the quality is unmistakable. Creamy vanilla and powdery musk meet fresh florals in a dreamy, skin-soft finish that lingers like a second skin.
It’s not just a fragrance—it’s a feeling. A quiet luxury. A modern class.
Until next time, Ashh xo
