The story behind the bottle.
Central Park by Bond No 9 was launched in 2004 as a Floral Green fragrance that captures the essence of New York's iconic green space. The composition opens with bright citrus and fresh spicy notes like lime blossom, petitgrain, and basil, evoking the crisp air and lush vegetation of the park. As it evolves, aromatic herbs and white florals such as jasmine and lily-of-the-valley come into play, creating a serene yet vibrant atmosphere. The woody base of cedar and patchouli grounds this scent with earthy warmth, reflecting the enduring charm of Central Park itself.
One or two sprays are sufficient as this fragrance blooms quickly. It's best worn during the cooler hours when the green and citrus notes shine without overpowering other scents around you.
