The neighborhood that begins just across Houston Street, two blocks south of us, has become millennials’ favorite and the hottest of downtown’s hotspots. The scent is a ladylike classic freesia paired with the unexpected wake-up of tangerine.
"In an industry that has long been dominated by men, Bond No.9 is the first New York parfumerie to be headed by a woman—the founder and CEO, Laurice Rahmé, who oversees every aspect of Bond No. 9--from creating the New York-centric concept behind their eau de parfum collection, to guiding the development of each fragrance and bottle design, to designing the interior of each Bond No. 9 boutique. Beyond a brand, Ms. Rahmé has made Bond No. 9 a singular force to be reckoned with in the world of luxury goods.
After all, while perfumery has always been about head-turning, Bond No. 9 has turned perfumes on their head. Their scent collection is the first to pay homage to a great city: New York, their beloved, always inspiring home town. And while they were at it, they gave their scents a dual mission: to restore artistry to perfumery, and to honor their bedazzlingly multifarious city by giving every New York neighborhood a scent of its own."
