The story behind the bottle.
Bond No 9 launched I Love New York for Holidays in 2013, capturing the essence of festive New York with its distinctive blend of sweet and woody accords. The fragrance opens with bright citrus notes from mandarin orange, which mingle with the spicy warmth of nutmeg and praline, evoking the aroma of holiday treats. At the heart, freesia adds a delicate floral touch, while pomegranate and apricot bring a fruity sweetness that warms up as the scent settles into its patchouli and leather base notes. The musky undertones create an enveloping warmth, making it feel like you're wrapped in a cozy blanket on a chilly winter evening.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a long-lasting warmth. The citrus notes fade quickly, so it's best to reapply after two hours if you want to maintain its festive glow throughout the day.
