The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Bond No 9, Madison Avenue is a vibrant floral scent that captures the essence of New York's iconic avenue. The fragrance opens with bright fruity and citrus notes — apple and blackberry mingle with bergamot to create an energetic freshness. At its heart, rose and magnolia blend seamlessly into jasmine, adding depth and warmth. As it settles, patchouli and praline introduce a sweet earthiness, grounded by the rich amber base. This composition is a proof of Bond No 9's commitment to creating fragrances that evoke specific New York moments.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — its top notes are bright and lively but fade quickly. The heart and base notes carry the warmth and depth throughout the day, making it perfect for an afternoon out or a formal evening event.
