Central Park West by Bond No 9 was launched in 2012 and crafted by perfumer Laurent Le Guernec, capturing the essence of New York’s iconic street with a blend of white floral, yellow floral, woody, sweet, green, lactonic, earthy, and powdery accords. The fragrance opens with bright ylang-ylang and narcissus, leading to a heart of gardenia, jasmine, and lime blossom, before settling into an earthy base of orris root, musk, vetiver, oak, and oak moss. This composition evokes the elegant yet grounded atmosphere of Central Park West, where high-rise buildings meet lush greenery.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of this fragrance. The floral notes are bright but evolve into a warm, powdery base over time. Best for daytime wear when you want to feel both elegant and grounded.
