Move over 007, there’s a new Bond in town. And she smells — and looks — just as ravishing.
Looking stylish in its intricately shaped bottles inspired by the female form, Bond No. 9 has made a scent-sational entry to Manila with its recent debut in Rustan’s. Created under the visionary eye and refined nose of Laurice Rahme, the luxury perfume brand presents an iconic collection of scents that serve as an homage to the famed city that never sleeps.
Named after its famed flagship boutique and headquarters at 9 Bond Street in NoHo, Bond No. 9 takes you on an exciting olfactory tour of New York City, marking every New York neighborhood and district with a scent of its own.
Moreover, it only uses the highest quality of ingredients sourced from all over the world, with 18 percent to 30 percent concentrations of pure eau de parfums — matching the long-lasting concentrations of the legendary vintage scents of the 1920s and 1930s. Each fragrance is also rich and unique, but all share a distinguished edge that reflects the uncompromising spirit of this kaleidoscopic city.
While there are 90 perfumes under Bond No. 9, three stand out for capturing the energy, spirit, and effervescent quality of the Big Apple.
Bleecker Street: Situated in the NYC borough of Manhattan, this famously fashion-forward district reverberates with electric energy. An ultra-contemporary unisex scent, Bleecker Street Eau de Parfum is the perfect warm and sensual aphrodisiac that glides from day to evening. It reinvigorates the senses with its harmony of Violet Leaf, Jasmine, Cassis, and Thyme, all herby notes that perfectly blend with the enticingly rich layers of Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Oak Moss, Suede, Patchouli, Amber, and Vanilla.
Nolita: Located just across Houston Street, Nolita is one of the favorite places for rendezvous of chic millennials, brimming with energy and playful romance. The perfume draws you in with its sparkling-fresh scent anchored on the floral notes of Freesia and bright Tangerine. Take a deep breath and be awakened by the harmony of chords of Lilies, Rose, Jasmine Sambac, Soft Amber, Musk and Sandalwood.
The Scent of Peace for Him: If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Touted as the greatest see-and-be-seen A-list place in New York City, its name-sake perfume, Peace, comes as a beautiful pair of scents for men and women. The fragrance designed specifically for the former, The Scent of Peace for Him, forwards an alluring blend of contemporary and traditional notes. Soothing yet powerful, this chic cologne helps you to step out into the world with greater confidence. Revel in the decadent notes of Bergamot, Pineapple, Juniper Berry, and Black Currant, which is layered onto a rich base of Cedar Wood, Vetiver, Patchouli, Moss, Musk, and Amber.
