Nolita

I love NY for Mother’s Day is one of my favorite fragrances and it’s so sad it got discontinued so when I read how similar this (nolita) is to NY Mother’s Day, I HAD to order a sample and today my sample arrived... LOOOVE it, it’s basically the same smell with NY MD being a bit more citrus-y (or loud) at first spritz but a few seconds later they both smell quite identical! (Actually comparing them side to side Nolita has a bit of a sweeter drydown where NY MD smells a bit fruitier) Either way glad to find a substitute for my beloved Bond no. 9 I love NY for Mother’s Day!!! I’d rate it a 10/10 I also received a couple other samples from Bond: -Spring Fling: lovely, 9/10 -Gold Coast: hmm, ok, similar to Chloe but I miss the rose-y drydown, 6/10 -Sag Harbor: wow, this surprised me... I started rating it a 5-6/10 but after it dried down I'm giving it a 8/10 -Greenwich Village: bleh, smells just the Burberry one which I recently got a free sample of and gave it away immediately... it smells like lip gloss/lipstick to me! -Coney Island: wtf is this? There’s so much in this fragrance that my nose and stomach disliked I don’t even know where to start... maybe I’ll just say: this doesn’t belong in a perfume bottle, specially not in such a beautiful one like the Coney Island one!

I always gravitate toward fruity floral fragrances, but it is always absolutely difficult to find the ideal ones since a majority of those fragrances are likely to be synthetic and boring. However, many of the fruity/floral scents from Bond No.9 have different perspectives, especially Nolita. It is a beautiful dreaming juicy tangerine scent with graceful freesia (I think freesia accord from Bond No.9 is the best) and lily without any sharpness. Some people say it is too overpriced for this scent, but I believe this is stunning in my opinion. Also, longevity is incredible. Edit This scent is beautiful as I described above but, longevity and silage are awful!!!! I have tried it at Fenwick very recently and found it extremely weak!! I do not know why nobody talks about that; many people say it has prominent silage! It stays on my skin, but definitely not matching the price tag...

Nolita isn’t mind blowing and it’s extremely overpriced. However, it does smell really nice and you can’t go wrong having it in your collection if you love feminine scents. Like everyone has said, its the niche version of Victoria Secret Bombshell. If you’re the person that calls VSB juvenile (I know a lot of women wore it as teenagers in middle/high school) but you still love the scent, you would wear Nolita as an adult. The musk, amber and sandalwood balance out the citrusy white florals very nicely. This is definitely an easy reach for spring and summer for all occasions...work, daytime dates, brunch, errands, anything. It lasts around 5-6 hours before it starts to settle into a skin scent with moderate sillage.

90's kids- does this take anyone else back in time?? to me it smells like 90s shampoo but literally in the best way possible.... reminds me of carefree summers- swimming all day, lipsmackers lipgloss, riding bikes til the street lights come on, playing Nintendo 64 with my brother, sleeping in til the afternoon, no homework so we go play outside with friends, parents dont know what to make for dinner so we're ordering Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust i will love this scent until the day i die, RIP to 90s childhood days, we literally had the most fun growing up- the simple days, house phones, dial up internet, ice cream trucks, fun summer days without being glued to our cell phones

I hadn’t been reaching for this fragrance in the past couple of years that I’ve had it. The weather is warming up, so I spritzed a few nice sprays everywhere that I apply to get a nice scent bubble. A few hours later I kept getting lovely wafts of candied tangerine with slight freesia, a touch of the jasmine and the musk, sandalwood and amber. Yes, this smells clean and bright. Yes, it’s kind of smells like a slightly fruity and fresh shampoo in the best way possible. I would not pay Bond prices for a bottle. There are too many places that you can score a BNIB authentic bottle of this fragrance. G

Based on the notes, I wasn't expecting to love this scent as much as I do. I'd never call Nolita generic or describe her as a "pretty girl" perfume. Frankly, what does that even mean? Are plain people not allowed to wear fragrances? There's definitely a strong floral note here, but the tangerine burst in the opening is a knockout. Freesia is prominent, but I pick up the voluminous, fresh, green scent of Jasmine Sambac all the way through. The drydown is incredible ... musky and spicy with a hint of sweetness. Sexy, complex, definitely full bottle worthy (and what a charming bottle it is).

I bought Nolita a couple of years ago after trying several Bond No 9 fragrances. I thought I’d prefer Gold Coast over this one, but I prefer this one. This is a nice floral, slightly fruity musk. She projects on my skin and she doesn’t need to be over sprayed as she lasts on my skin and clothes for 5+ hours. As far as projection, the first few hours she projects at arms length. Thereafter she wears close to your skin. I appreciate her for what she is a beautiful, clean, floral/fruity musk. She doesn’t need a o be loud or to project far. She’s a lovely Spring and Summer stunner.

Omg!!! I love her! I’ve wanted her for so long Nolita! She’s beautiful, fresh, fruity, floral, flirty. She’s not my typical vanilla fragrance but I’m here for it! I can’t stop wearing this since I got it. I love it! Soft, clean, feminine, sexy, sophisticated. I’ve honestly never smelled bombshell from VS but like if it smells like this will I like it? Idk I’m used to niche fragrances now. Anyways will someone let me know. Also please try this fragrance. It’s stunning!

Love love love! Bond no. 9 has some haters, I'm definitely not one of them considering I own 19 from this house. Nolita is a stand out pretty girl scent hands down. It's so fresh, juicy, sweet, and the amber gives it depth. It's extremely enjoyable and it lasts pretty long too. I can layer this with anything fruity to morph its character. Layered with BR540 it glows. Sprayed on top of Delina Exclusif it's divine. Will always keep this in my collection.

Pucker up because the opening notes of this fragrance smell like a kiss like it's just kissing you all over (it's the Freesia) and I absolutely love it very fresh and alluring I found myself continuing to go back to my wrist to smell it it's a very unique fragrance for me I haven't smelled anything quite like it and I love that it's definitely my signature fragrance right now for the last few days and I'm so enjoying it...

Lovey smell that fits perfectly with the bottle colors! The scent is sweet, fresh, still delicious and super candy-yummy-like. At first spray I was trying to find the main ingredient, and to my wonder was Tangerine Orange Slices!!! And I love it! Follow with some fresh flowers and musk. Bond n9 Nolita is not a in your face fragrance, the scent stays with you several hours but noticeable enough for your taste!

Love from first sniff! Such a lovely feminine scent...so delicate...I get sweet citrus, freesia, lily, rose jasmine on bed of warm amber sandalwood that is balanced by cleanliness of musk...so well balanced...like most Bond 9 perfumes. Notes are pretty familiar but it smells very unique and universal in terms of wear. Can be worn any time of the year and for any occasion

Just copped my second bottle. This has been my go to perfume for this spring/summer. It's a pretty white floral scent that reminds me of a classy Gen Z boss if that makes sense lol. I agree with everyone about the price point and there probably are better options but for me its a must have in my collection until I find a better/cheaper alternative.

This is the fragrance that kicked off my jones for rose/animalic combos. I love the sweet, juicy tangerine. I love the heavy muskiness. I love the florals. It's sexy af. This is not a scent for the faint of heart. It radiates confidence & sass. A keeper. ❤️ This is an excellent substitute for Bond No 9 I Love NY Mothers Day.

I love, love, love this smell and have for years 😍 HOWEVER, my baby Nolita does not last long at all which is unacceptable for the price. I actually don't know anyone who says they get more then 2-3 hours. I have the original but would be more then willing to find a dupe/ clone. Nowadays these dupes are killing it!. I

This fragrance is so beautiful! Juicy white florals, smells sweet, fresh, sophisticated, classy and rich! The longevity and silage on this is crazy lasts forever on me! Lots of compliments. I love this scent I think the fragrance is well blended and grown but sexy.

I’m surprised nobody has said this has a lipstick smell. It’s a nice fragrance but I smell something that gives red lipstick that or moms would wear lol I wonder if that’s the point! I mean look at the bottle. Am I the only one?

Bond 9 fragrance are my favs 🥰🥰🥰Nolita is my signature very unique,smell so good and so expensive I love it so much! I can wear it any time of the day 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I love Bond I Love New York For Mothers and this is the closest I’ve come to replacing it. Fruity, musky, easy to wear.

Such an adorable girly teddy bear cuddly like scent. Innocent, joyful, free spirit, mildl sweet. Love it.
