The story behind the bottle.
My New York by Bond No 9 was launched in 2020 and is a creation by perfumer Michel Almairac. This fragrance captures the essence of New York’s bustling atmosphere through its blend of woody, aromatic, and spicy notes. The composition opens with the freshness of ginger, elemi, and pink pepper, which gives way to a heart of rose and papyrus before settling into a base of patchouli, sandalwood, and cashmeran. This fragrance is unisex and reflects the city’s vibrancy and complexity.
Apply one generous spritz to your pulse points — the ginger and elemi top notes are bright but fleeting. The base notes of patchouli and cashmeran will linger for hours, making it ideal for daytime wear in a bustling urban environment.
