THE INSPIRATION

When Bond No. 9 opened its flagship in 2003, the pioneering Founder Laurice Rahmé admired the potential of this small, eclectic downtown street and neighborhood. Many residents in the area had been working artists who had moved there during the thriving 1970s art era (including Bruce Williams and Robert Mapplethorpe), and while Bond Street was not quite yet the elegant, refined destination it now is, the bourgeoning fragrance boutique shared a very cool neighbor: the iconic Blick Art Materials store was located a stone’s throw down the street at #1 Bond Street.

In the undisputed “art capital of the world,” professional artists and students alike made the pilgrimage to Blick on Bond until 2022 when it finally closed shop and moved further downtown near Canal Street. Still, the original artistic heritage of Bond Street is forever infused in its cobblestone streets. Originally constructed as The Robbins and Appleton Building, #1 Bond Street was built in 1879-1880, designated a landmark in 1979, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Designed by architect Stephen Decatur Hatch, the ornate cast iron façade is a striking example of Second Empire style and emblematic of the creative architectural variety that embodies both the historic and futuristic on Bond Street.

Inspired by this blend of old and new, Bond Number One takes the enduringly popular white musk note—regarded as one of the most sensual and grounding scents—and artfully remixes it for the 21^st century in a novel hierarchy that instantly feels classically comforting and yet, ephemeral in its eternal romance.

THE COMPOSITION

“The fine arts have always been important to us as a brand,” says Rahmé, who is continuously inspired by NYC’s world-class galleries, museums, and the latest exhibitions they host. “Not a day goes by that you can’t experience amazing art in New York.”

Bond No.9 collaborated with a true artist—Senior Perfumer Vincent Schaller of DSM-Firmenich—to reinvent white musk for today’s discerning fragrance connoisseur. Number One is first and foremost sensual: the top notes open with fresh Italian bergamot and the dreamy, intoxicating florals of ylang ylang. Residing in the very heart is white musk, soft and animalic, always formidable yet infinitely wearable. Flanked by sultry Bulgarian rose, sexy jasmine petals, and warm Brazilian tonka bean, this center epitomizes elegance. For the bottom notes, decadent Madagascar vanilla, spicy Indonesian patchouli, and creamy cashmere wood make for an artful combination that elevates white musk into a true masterpiece.

THE PACKAGING

How to house Bond Number One’s distinctly artistic temperament? A rich purple—the hue a painter creates by mixing fiery red and deep blue—accented with decorative croc motif and gold lettering seems fitting for this royally layered scent.

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.

Bond No. 9’s iconic Silhouette Bottle is 100% recyclable and uses 50% recycled cullet during the manufacturing process.

Bond No. 9’s latest addition captures the

free spirit of New York’s dreamy wanderers.

Our great city—made of nomads from near and far—is back! Help us celebrate with the stunning new member of our tribe.

The newest member of our tribe features an exotic touch of the Mid East, but trust us, it smells just like home.

The city’s most branché neighborhood has a storied past. This fragrance speaks to the legendary opulence—past and present—North of Madison Square Park.

THE INSPIRATION

Renewal is in the air, and NYC has always been the epicenter of progress, evolution, and optimism. But perhaps no area in the Big Apple has been more emblematic of this than NoMad, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods that has reinvented itself in so many incarnations it would make the Material Girl blush.

Long before New Yorkers were queuing up for their Shake Shack fix in the south end of the park, the city’s most elite residents flocked to NoMad in the mid-nineteenth century, paving the way for it to become one of Manhattan’s most fashionable neighborhoods and a showcase for French Renaissance revival and beaux-arts architecture. Then as is now, the area was also home to legendary hotels that became the “it” watering holes of the glamorous Gilded Age. The infamously luxurious Fifth Avenue Hotel built in 1859 became a staple, as did The Breslin (1904; now the Ace Hotel!) and The St. James (1874), among many others. And also, like today, NoMad hosted the town’s most fabulous restaurants, such as one especially rollicking incarnation of Delmonico’s where “Lobster Newburg” was born, and the Manhattan Club, which invented one of the world’s most popular cocktails… you guessed it, “The Manhattan.”

What goes up must come down, and the area experienced multiple metamorphoses, neglect, and old-fashioned hard times. Fast-forward to the Madison Square Park Foundation’s massive 2001 restoration project: As our favorite NYC neighborhoods so often do, the cat came back. The last two decades have sparked a frenzy for developers of chic hotels, restaurants, and grand residences, restoring the area’s reputation as the jewel of the Gilded Age into today’s hub of cool. In the words of our founder Laurice Rahmé, “This fragrance celebrates NoMad’s lifestyle and culture, but what it really and truly embodies is the past and present.”

THE COMPOSITION

NoMad’s beating heart is a strong, sensual, statement-making oud, a nod to the nomads of the Orient, but reimagined into what Rahmé calls “Americanized oud,” by adding modern fruity notes to the top instead of a traditional animalic, which is a unique presentation. Creamy pear and fresh black currant add a gourmand warmth, rounded out by luxurious amber and sandalwood, which gives this long-wearing juice as much staying power as NoMad itself.

THE PACKAGING

You want opulence? You got it. While the Moroccan-blue hue adds another allusion to the bohemian spirit of nomadic romanticism, a Gilded Age-era gold grid houses no less than 74 sparkling silver gems that shine as brightly as NoMad’s contemporary glass towers.

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. “The package-free initiative reflects our long-term efforts to build a beautiful and responsible brand and a beautiful city,” says Rahmé.

Bond No. 9’s iconic Silhouette Bottle is 100% recyclable and uses 50% recycled cullet during the manufacturing process.

NoMad may be purchased in traditional packaging or in our sustainable packaging.

“We’ve built a near-replica of our flagship boutique interior, complete with multi-lingual staff,” says Laurice Rahme, Founder of Bond No 9.

Bond No. 9 has opened a new shop and perfumerie at Bloomingdale’s flagship on 59^th Street.  They believe this luxurious space will set a standard for the next generation of retail fragrance interiors.  Their latest shop features the entire line of Bond No. 9 New York-centric fragrances – 90 of them and counting – including new Off-Broadway, a sparkling, attention-getting unisex blend of grapefruit blossom and black currant.  The intermission, so to speak, presents luxurious lily, osmanthus and nutmeg.  As a finale, the overall composition takes a strong bow with musk, patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver. 

Bond’s first shop at Bloomingdale’s, holds an appeal to New Yorkers as well as international shoppers, when travel opens up.  We’re situating ourselves in Bloomingdale’s newly-imagined fragrance floor, where guests can find Bond No. 9.  And best of all, it’s on the main level, just like home.

The details:  Bond No. 9’s new shop boutique outpost is a near-replica of our Bond Street, NoHo flagship, with identical smoky mirrors lining the built-in wall-niches, showcasing our vividly colored fragrance bottles and boxes displayed and reflected multiple times throughout the boutique-space.  The centerpiece, a custom blending table with lacquer-lipstick-red chairs for perusing our range of fragrances and Swarovski crystal-studded bottles and for personal consultation.  And front and center, a custom mannequin adorned with 20,000 Swarovski stones welcomes consumers in to the glamorous space.  What’s more, on hand to help our customer curate the perfect fragrance wardrobe or gift with our over 90 eaux de parfum, custom blends and Swarovski-on-demand will be our brilliant, Bloomingdale’s staff, who of course are multi-lingual. 

This is New York, after all.

Why should Broadway get all the attention? Off-Broadway is where plenty of stars are born.

THE INSPIRATION

Roll out the red carpet for Off-Broadway! We don’t know when theatres will reopen, and Netflix may have replaced the live experience for most of us, but we are proud to present an optimistic new fragrance that pays homage to one of New York City’s greatest traditions. You could say she’s a little sister to our iconic Broadway Nite, but she’s no shy flower. “It’s not a quiet fragrance, it’s quite noisy and effusive!” says Bond No. 9 founder and president Laurice Rahmé. Like “Hamilton” (which debuted off-Broadway), this edgy floriental scent is destined to be a major hit.

While the Great White Way has always set the standard, Off-Broadway maintains its roots as an avant-garde alternative where productions with great promise can bloom into big stars. After all, plenty of the most famous plays and musicals got their start there, including “Rent,” “A Chorus Line,” and “Dear Evan Hansen,” just to name a few. (In fact, some long-running NY mainstays like “Stomp” and “Blue Man Group,” don’t even bother to make the trip uptown!) Our Off-Broadway marches to the beat of its own drum and offers a similarly intimate, creative joie de vivre.

THE COMPOSITION

Off-Broadway is a true drama queen that sings from the top of her lungs with a sparkling, attention-getting blend of grapefruit blossom and black currant. The intermission, so to speak, presents luxurious lily, osmanthus, and nutmeg. As a finale, the overall composition takes a strong bow with musk, patchouli, sandalwood, and vetiver, resulting in an encore that is totally contagious.

THE PACKAGING

The color red is truly emblematic of the theatre, from the rich velvet curtains to the carpet laid out to celebrate the players. Here, we present our classic Silhouette Bottle with a truly festive and regal scarlet logo design that pays homage to the holidays and all the Off-Broadway-esque drama they bring!

AVAILABILITY
