The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Great Jones by Bond No 9, launched in 2003 and crafted by perfumer Francis Camail, is an ode to the Woody Aromatic essence of New York's urban landscape. The fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord that captures the crisp energy of the city, transitioning into earthy and mossy notes that evoke the dense greenery hidden within its concrete canyons. The warm spicy undertones and musky base add depth, creating a scent that is both grounded and evocative.

How to wear it

Great Jones projects best when applied to pulse points and allowed a few minutes to settle. The citrus notes are fleeting, so rely on the woody and musky base for lasting warmth throughout the day.
