The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2003 by Bond No 9, Nouveau Bowery is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of New York's ever-evolving neighborhoods. The nose behind this scent is Robertet, and it opens with bright citrus and aromatic notes before transitioning into a fresh spicy heart. This composition is grounded by woody, earthy, and mossy accords, creating a vibrant contrast between freshness and depth. Nouveau Bowery reflects the dynamic spirit of Bowery, where old meets new in a harmonious blend.

How to wear it

Apply a light spritz to your pulse points — the citrus notes are bright but quick to fade, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial freshness. The woody and mossy base will linger close to skin throughout the day.
