The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2013, New York Patchouli by Bond No 9 is a bold and captivating fragrance that marries the vibrancy of New York with the earthy charm of patchouli. The composition opens with bright bergamot and litchi, creating an initial freshness that quickly gives way to the floral heart of rose water, lilac, and lily. As it settles, Atlas cedar, sandalwood, amber, and musk create a warm, powdery base that grounds the scent in a rich blend of earthy sophistication. This fragrance is a proof of Bond No 9's mission to capture the essence of New York through innovative scents.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum warmth and longevity. The patchouli base note will bloom within an hour, so give it time to settle on your skin before layering or adding additional spritzes.
