The story behind the bottle.
Liberty Island by Bond No 9 was launched in 2016 as a tribute to the iconic New York landmark. The fragrance opens with bright citrus and fruity notes like mandarin orange and black currant, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vibrancy. The heart of jasmine and orange blossom adds a delicate floral touch, while marshmallow introduces a subtle sweetness that balances the composition. The base of musk and powdery tones rounds out the scent with warmth and comfort. This fragrance captures the spirit of New York — energetic, inviting, and deeply layered.
Apply two sprays to each wrist and neck for a balanced blend. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so wait a few minutes before heading out — this allows the floral and musky base to fully emerge and provide lasting warmth.
