New York Chic

I have a few Bond No 9 fragrances and this is not only one of the most unique in my collection but also the most unique out of the many samples I was given with my purchase in NYC. Absolute banger of a fragrance. Projects quite well so go easy on the trigger but it completely unisex where no particular note is overpowering including the tobacco. I tried Quattro Pizzi just around the corner at a nearby store and I can say NY Chic not only projects way more but is imo a very different fragrance.

I have the sampler from this, this will be in my top 5 as soon as I purchase a full bottle. This is absolutely delectable and I have been told I smell delicious while wearing the sampler. Very good fall/winter fragrance, could see it in spring or summer but goes well with the holiday aesthetic I feel

opens with very creamy, sweet honey and white floral notes with plenty of vanilla, then after a few you get the green leafy notes and earthy tobacco vibes coming through. I get the boozy cognac ever so slightly wafting occasionally and maybe a hint of woodyness which is a great touch. Leans feminine and is blended nicely with good performance. Not necessarily my cup of tea but it is a great scent. Stays pretty sweet throughout the day. As far as Oud goes I’m not getting much and the tobacco is present however not a main player.

This is really unique one among the other no9 Bond perfumes. Made me remember Amouga Gold. Powdery but there is earthy green note present. I was impressed each time I sprayed until it drys down and curry like herbal spicy fenu greek notes kicks in. I am picking up on the most complex facet of this Davana and Immortel molecular profile. Herbal spicy dry-savory territory is entirely different than how it smells at the opening. After couple of trying I am sure that Chic is not for me.

This is a very unique perfume! Something I can’t compare with anything and hard to describe. I was very surprised when I first tried it on. It’s very different than any other Bond No. 9 perfumes. I find it unisex, leaning more feminine. I’m not sure I would like to purchase this perfume but I would wear it sometimes when I want to stand out of crowd and smell like NO ONE ELSE.
