The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by Bond No 9, New York Oud is a fragrance that captures the essence of an iconic city through its rich and complex composition. Created by perfumer Laurent Le Guernec, it opens with plum and saffron, offering a luxurious fruity-spicy introduction before diving into the heart of rose and oud, which are balanced by warm spices like agarwood and patchouli. The base notes of orris root, musk, white honey, and vetiver create an enveloping warmth that speaks to New York's energy and sophistication.
Given its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, New York Oud requires only one or two sprays to make a lasting impression. It's best applied to pulse points for maximum projection and warmth throughout the day.
