Fragrance Review: New! Bond No. 9 Brooklyn eau de parfum
Making scents of New York
What we like about Bond No. 9 Brooklyn:
It's edgy.
It's unisex.
It has silliage.
The bottle's edgy design is a piece of contemporary street art that epitomizes Brooklyn, New York's legendary city within a city, home to a century or more of strivers, dreamers, and Nobel laureates, that has reinvented itself into an edgy, artsy metropolis.
Unisex with a masculine attitude, the scent is romantic, sexy, and distinctive. Woody, spicy-filled oriental notes that mingles cardamom, geranium leaves, and cedarwood while grapefruit and juniper leaves accelerate the scent, and South American guaiacwood and leather bring a tender, beckoning touch.
Brooklyn has what's known in the perfume trade as sillage, meaning that it doesn't cling to the skin but rather diffuses, leaving a trail of scent behind.
Available at bondno9.com and at Saks Fifth Avenue nationwide.
Suggested retail price: $220 for 100ml; $145 for 50 ml.
