Bond No 9 Introduces Tuxedo Park
Just in time for Earth Day*, discover a luminous green escape — refined and quietly glamorously inspired by a Gatsby-esque village where elegance meets untamed woodland air and true luxury is found in nature…Introducing Bond No 9’s Tuxedo Park.
THE INSPIRATION
Nestled in the Ramapo Mountains just north of Manhattan, Tuxedo Park is one of New York’s most storied enclaves—the first planned residential community where Gilded Age ambition meets pastoral retreat.
Founded in 1885 by tobacco heir Pierre Lorillard IV, the village was conceived as a private, gated haven for New York’s elite, blending European aristocratic ideals with distinctly American grandeur and classical, opulent architecture.
Its rolling hills, pristine lakes, and winding carriage paths were carefully constructed and preserved as a living landscape of leisure. “We didn’t just choose any park,” says Bond No.9 Founder Laurice Rahmé. “Tuxedo Park is the embodiment of quiet, outdoor chic and has an incredible New York heritage.”
From inception, Tuxedo Park became synonymous with high society. The Astors, Vanderbilts, Morgans, and Whitneys were among its celebrated residents and guests who traveled from their NYC mansions to their holiday estates, while cultural figures such as Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde passed through its gates. Emily Post wrote her iconic 1922 tome Etiquette based on the formal manners she observed while growing up there.
The community’s social calendar, which centered around the village’s exclusive Tuxedo Club, was legendary and crowned by the iconic Autumn Ball—a glittering affair that drew the era’s tastemakers for nights of music, dancing, and sartorial spectacle. It was at one such ball in the 1880s that the modern tuxedo (inspired by the stylish Prince of Wales) is said to have made its American debut—an innovation that quickly spread from Tuxedo Park’s ballrooms to New York society and beyond—forever linking the village’s name to the global symbol of black-tie elegance.
Launching in the spirit of Earth Day* 2026, Tuxedo Park is a tribute to protected beauty, mindful luxury, and the reminder that the most modern indulgence is harmony with nature.
THE COMPOSITION
Like an olfactory stroll through an outdoor fête, Tuxedo Park opens with a radiant citrus medley. At the top, mandarin, bitter orange, and white grapefruit to deliver a clean, bracing brightness, joined by fresh basil for a layered expression of herbaceous zest.
The heart evokes manicured gardens bursting with luscious flowers: extravagant jasmine, heady tuberose, and grounding, earthy ylang orris. At the base, a solar oud accord adds an effervescent pop, echoing the champagne sparkle of legendary Autumn Balls and giving the florals an effortless, celebratory glow. Musk and amber anchor the composition in tailored depth for a sensual, forest-floor finish that lingers like filtered sunlight through trees.
THE PACKAGING
The fragrance is housed in a clear, bright green glass bottle—a reflection of its botanical soul—and imprinted with a gilded logo impression. The vivid yet transparent hue recalls fresh spring leaves and the reflective surfaces of Tuxedo Park’s lakes. Minimalist detailing allows the color and clarity of the glass to take center stage, turning the bottle into a modern totem of nature-meets-design.
SUSTAINABILITY
Responsible packaging is a pillar of Bond No. 9, and we strive to offer consumers the option to choose without having to compromise on luxury.
