The story behind the bottle.
I Love New York for Him by Bond No 9 was launched in 2011 and is a proof of the city's vibrant energy. This aromatic fougère fragrance opens with fresh, zesty notes of grapefruit and ginger, which are balanced by the herbal tones of juniper berries and lavender. At its heart, geranium adds a subtle floral warmth, while patchouli and leather lend an earthy depth that transitions into a musky, woody base accented with amber and French labdanum. The composition captures the essence of New York's dynamic streets — where crisp freshness meets rich, warm spiciness.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for an immediate burst of freshness. The zesty top notes will fade within two hours, but the musky base will linger throughout the day, making it perfect for a full day's wear.
