Launched in 2013 by Bond No 9, Lexington Avenue is a Woody Chypre fragrance created by Claude Dir that captures the essence of its namesake street in New York City. The composition opens with cardamom and star anise, bringing warmth and spice to the fore before transitioning into a heart of peony and orris, which adds floral softness and depth. The base notes of sandalwood and patchouli provide a grounding earthiness that ties everything together. This fragrance is both modern and lasting, embodying the city's dynamic energy and its rich history.

Application Tips
Apply Lexington Avenue to pulse points and allow it to develop on your skin. The spicy top notes are bright but brief, so layering over time will enhance its warmth. It pairs well with cooler evenings or indoor settings where its woody base can shine.
