The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012, I Love New York for Fathers by Bond No 9 is an aromatic fougère that embodies the vibrant energy and crisp freshness of New York City. The fragrance opens with a bright burst of lime and grapefruit blossom, cutting through the air like a morning breeze off the Hudson River. Basil and coriander add a fresh spicy edge to this citrusy top, while lavender and sage lend an herbal warmth that softens as it settles into a base of musk, amber, and oakmoss.

How to wear it

For best effect, apply this fragrance in light layers. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so they work well for daytime wear. As it evolves on skin, the herbal warmth and musky base provide a lasting comfort that feels both fresh and familiar.
