Bond No. 9 Madison Avenue 100ml, $300, Bondno9.com (Photo: Courtesy Bond No. 9).
Bond No. 9 has achieved the impossible: They’ve bottled a fragrance that evokes the feeling of dropping dough on designer duds. Specifically, this sensory shopping trip takes place in the glossy boutiques of Madison Avenue, a New York thoroughfare worthy of not one, but two Bond No. 9 odes.
This lush, shopping-inspired elixir is a version of the classic chypre formula with fruity top notes of apple, bergamot and blackberry and woodsy base notes of patchouli and praline. It comes packaged in a pretty pink bottle, accented with a stitching detail and finished off with a grosgrain ribbon. One spritz of this Bond No. 9 concoction could put you in the mood for some serious damage, credit-card-wise. You have been warned.
