My Bond With Bond No. 9 Perfume

I’ve recently become a perfume-nista and the luxury brand Bond No. 9 is my favorite. I first discovered Bond’s “Bryant Park” ($45 – $198) fragrance during New York Fashion Week several seasons ago, and I’ve been jonesing for the subtle floral scent ever since.

The best way to find the Bond fragrance that’s right for you is to order a few colorfully-wrapped samples (six samples for $15 including shipping and handling at www.bondno9.com).  Since discovering “Bryant Park,” I’ve also become fond of the “Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue” ($135- $195) scent with hints of fennel, toasted almonds, sandalwood and pink peony, and the grapefruit-infused “Scent of Peace” ($45- $198).  

I love that Bond No. 9 fragrances are named after New York City icons, landmarks, and neighborhoods and several of the brand’s most popular scents are available in the new, nostalgic solid perfume “token.”  The refillable compact comes in a little white zipper case, and sits atop my Christmas wish list.
