Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Perfumista Avenue by Bond No 9 is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of New York's vibrant streets and artistic spirit. Perfumer Laurent Le Guernec crafts a composition where saffron, plum, and nutmeg create a warm spicy opening, which transitions into a heart of rose, jasmine, and peony. The base notes of musk, patchouli, amber, and mate offer depth and complexity, creating an aroma that is both fresh and richly layered.
For best results, apply Perfumista Avenue to pulse points in moderation. The spicy top notes are bright but fade within two hours, giving way to a rich base that develops on skin over time. It's ideal for daytime wear when you want a fragrance that evolves throughout the day.
