Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street Eau de Parfum | 100ml / 3.4 oz

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street Eau de Parfum

The energy of downtown Manhattan, captured in a fragrance. Lafayette Street by Bond No. 9 is a bold, deeply sophisticated oriental fougère fragrance launched in 2018 — a fragrance that captures the essence of one of downtown Manhattan’s most iconic thoroughfares: the street that runs through SoHo and NoHo, connecting the art galleries of the West Village to the boutiques of Nolita, carrying the energy of a city that never stops moving and never stops creating. Lafayette Street is New York at its most alive: creative, ambitious, and effortlessly cool — and this fragrance carries that same quality. It opens with a vivid, immediately distinctive combination of bergamot, flowers, and coriander — bright, slightly spiced, and deeply aromatic. The coriander is the opening’s most unexpected and most distinctive element: warm, slightly citrusy, and deeply aromatic, it gives Lafayette Street an immediate complexity and character that sets it apart from every other oriental fougère in its class. The heart is the fragrance’s most sophisticated and most original moment: apple, Ambroxan, and vanilla — a beautifully unconventional accord that places two of perfumery’s most celebrated skin-amplifying and warmth-creating ingredients at the centre of the fragrance rather than the base. Ambroxan in the heart — rather than the base — gives Lafayette Street a warm, clean, deeply personal sillage from the very first moment of wear, making it feel simultaneously more intimate and more powerful than most oriental fragrances. The dry-down is warm, smooth, and deeply enveloping: tonka bean, woody notes, and ambergris creating a rich, slightly sweet, deeply skin-close base of rare, enduring beauty. Ambergris — one of the most ancient, most prized, and most expensive ingredients in all of perfumery — adds a warm, slightly marine, deeply animalic depth that makes the base feel simultaneously timeless and completely modern.
