The story behind the bottle.
Central Park South by Bond No 9 is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of New York's iconic green space. Launched in 2013, this scent opens with the bright freshness of grapefruit blossom and black currant blossom before diving into a heart of jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The woody base notes provide a grounding warmth, making it a harmonious blend that evokes the serene yet vibrant atmosphere of Central Park.
For best results, apply this fragrance to pulse points like your wrists and neck. The grapefruit blossom top notes are bright but fleeting, so a few sprays will ensure you capture both the fresh opening and the woody base that lingers throughout the day.
