Park Avenue

I got bottle no 2 and I still love Park Avenue but I sneeze alot this time - allergy settles in sadly. This one is a masterpiece. Discrete, elegant and classy. A superb spring-fragrance in fact and with the Chamomile and Mimosa- mix, I also notice the Rose/musk/ebonywood-note in background. Fresh and sparkling. Not heavy not skinclose. Park Avenue dances around you and tease you for many hours. Hittat flaska nr 2 och jag bara älskar Park Avenue men nyser enormt av den - allergin växer tyvärr mot dofter. Detta är en liten skatt. Diskret, elegant och klassisk. En superb vår-doft faktiskt med tydlig Kamomill/Mimosa-mix. Jag känner även Ros, musk, ebonywood-mixen i bakgrunden. Fräsch. Inte kraftig, inte heller hudnära. Park Avenue sveper runt dig och retas i många timmar.

I adore the earthy herby aroma of chamomile, and it is such an underused note in fragrances. But ever since I was blown away by Gucci Memoir D'Une, I started chasing scents with a prominent note of this modest flower. Park Avenue did not disappoint. It is such a down to earth, non-pretentious, non-screechy fragrance. The chamomile here is mixed so perfectly with mimosa that I can't tell where one ends and another begins. It is slightly powdery too, which I like. And a splash of lemon adds just the right amount of acidity to it, a dzing if you will. Lovely fragrance, definitely full bottle worthy for me.

This was my introduction to Bond perfumes. And I found this to be a georgeous floral. I was even married in this at the request of my then fiancee. In my opinion this one can be worn year round. It is suitable for the office, for cocktaisl, an evening out, or your wedding!!! If you are looking for an all around beautiful scent look no further than park avenue!!

She takes about 45 minutes to warm up onto my skin, but once she arrives, I become obsessed with smelling myself. Its a light skin scent that's both dainty, and delicate. After 6 hours or so on my skin, it continues to develop sweeter and sweeter. This is a winner!

Very fresh whiteflower'ish scent with some Musk and a hint of Vanilla. Gentle and chic. very womanish. Väldigt fräsch vitblommig doft men lite Musk och en aning om Vanilj.Mjuk och chic. Otroligt kvinnlig.

A fresh linden perfume that's very, very similar to Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue. Clean, fresh, very pretty. Lasting power doesn't come close to 5th Avenue.

Back in the late 80s I remember using Crabtree and Evelyn's chamomile scented line - so this to me smells very, very similar. It's a throwback. I love chamomile, personally, and seek out fragrances with it as a major component. So I was happy to get a large bon bon of this gem. I do love it - it's chamomile yet slightly more than that one note. For me the other notes are there, yet playing an almost indistinguishable background harmony that I can't quite place. I would call this a subtle scent. On me, it needs to be reapplied quite often and has little sillage. I would say this is a safe blind buy for people who like a lighter fragrance and love chamomile, and everyone else should test before buying. I have a feeling it will grown on me as I use it more.

Bond no 9 PARK AVENUE is a very likeable and feminine floral fragrance in the spirit of BULGARI POUR FEMME. I do not think that they are identical, but I must concede that they are more similar to one another than either is to anything else! To my nose, PARK AVENUE has a slightly sweet opening with less overall emphasis on the rose: the iris and chamomile are just as important in this composition. PARK AVENUE also has lower longevity and sillage. Since BULGARI POUR FEMME already graces my collection, I won't be adding a FB of PARK AVENUE anytime soon, though I must say that I am enjoying my 7ml purse spray!

This fragrance is similar to Johnson & Johnson's pink baby lotion and powder. It's very powdery, fresh and light. The notes that I can pick out on my skin are chamomile, mimosa and lemon. The mimosa makes Park Ave somewhat similar to Bond no 9 Fashion Ave which is much more green and wet than Park Ave. Overall, very easy to wear but so much so that it's almost boring. I can see this appealing to women who just want to smell nice, but not attract attention. For the price, I personally wouldn't want to just smell nice from this perfume, I would need to smell amazing. Not for me, but I don't dislike.

It's pretty. Sweet and very grainy. "Edible" but not gourmand. Likable, but I don't know if it's worth the price. The performance is below-average. It reminds me of Lancome Tresor, minus the peach. Park Avenue would be easier to wear in all seasons, but given the price I'd rather have Tresor.

From my sample it starts out as a pleasant floral, but then, does not develop into anything more. To me, a perfume named Park Avenue, should be wealthy, with a crescendo of rich notes. This just doesn't do it.

Iris, then mimosa, but the combination is a bit plastic-y somehow as the 2 don't mix together at all well, any more than purple and yellow do. For Iris I much prefer Bvlgari Iris d'Or, for Mimosa I much prefer Frederick Malle Une Fleur de Cassie.

Great beautiful fragrance, but from the first sight I thought this is herbal and flowers with little bit of Lilly of the Valley which is not mentioned. It was like reminiscence of old French school of perfumery art. Sillage is noticeably, longlasting fragrance, these stay on the skin forever. Herbals makes you remember 1740 Marquis de Sade Histoires de Parfums -but in very, very lighter edition, and instead of Immortelle you have a Camomille here. Less herbs and spices so I would recommend 1740 much better. It would be recommend for people who likes herbal, soapy notes. Worth to buy if on half price sale. Unfortunately just after few times testing may feels soapy, migraine making. So you do not know to test it or not, and again smell better from the bottle then on your skin. After all you finding Narcissus and Mimosa are overpowering everything so it is too much.

It's official. I don't like chamomile in a fragrance. I disliked it in Gucci's Mémoire d’une Odeur and I dislike it here. I don't like the herby way Chamomile smells. I don't even like Chamomile tea, so I don't know what possessed me to even try this. I was hoping it would just be an opening note and the rose, narcisse and mimosa would take over after it subsides, as the floral notes do in other fragrances I own that have Chamomile in it. In this fragrance it is always there and the strongest note to my nose. As a flower it is pretty, and at one time I grew this cheerful little groundcover in a past garden, but I prefer to admire it from afar rather than drink or wear it. Sorry, I know this review is not very helpful, but if you happen to like Chamomile than this might appeal to you. For me, this is a pass.

To me, this smells like a funeral home. It has outstanding longevity and nuclear projection on me. I have sort of a force field of dry, bummer flowers radiating around me and I only sprayed twice. I can almost hear someone wailing under this veil of antique-ish chamomile and ebony coffin varnish. It is also linear. It always smells like this. Forever. There is no respite and even after you shower, it lingers. Vanquish your enemies with this. Especially if your enemy is me because I hate it.

Park Avenue by Bond No. 9 opens with honey-chamomile and lemony notes. Moments later, it envelopes you in a warmth--like a comforting cup of Earl Grey tea. I noticed middle notes of bergamot and amber. Like its moniker implies, Park Avenue is refined and glamorous. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Park Avenue reminds me of a lighter, citrusy cousin to Creed's Royal Delight. Park Avenue is suitable to wear year-round.

A perfect scent reminiscent of the proverbial wealthy mature females and/or trust fund babies, in uptown NYC. This discreet, semi sweet bouquet of floral in the star shaped bottle is indicative of the upper eastside to a tee. This refined floral of iris and rose with the soothing tranquility of chamomile tea represents elegance in its finest form. It sends a message of old money meets new movers and shakers. The life of this scent is short and the underwhelming aroma lacks the 'oomph' I prefer in a perfume. To suit my perfume desires, I find that blending Park Avenue with some midtown energy from Bond's Saks For Her or Lexington Avenue will kick it up a couple of notches and add some youthful liveliness to it. With that in mind, it would perform to a higher level of greatness and be the star as the bottle implies. On it's own I would rate it a 2 out of 5. With custom blending a 3 nearing a 4.

This fragrance has three of my favorite notes: Iris, Chamomile and Rose. As a male, I enjoy trying to find a beautiful floral fragrance to add to my collection. There are days, I want to be floral. Having put a small sample on the back of my hand and smelling the fragrance, I thought, this is perfect for my mother. It is a soothing scent and elegant scent as Carla also stated. As the sample began to mellow out on the back of my hand, the chamomile notes began to develop with hints of rose. The Iris notes (my ultimate favorite flower) disappeared or just went into hiding. For an Iris fragrance, I will stick to Infusion d'Iris by Prada (women's). I am looking forward to sampling this again but will mix it up with Chez Bond to add citrus notes or another Bond fragrance. This would be a nice scent for the office or a luncheon with the ladies.

I like this one soo much. Absolutely wearable. On opening, there is the signature Bond "base," that fuzzy veil of lily-something-or-other. But it settles into a gentle but deep flower. Not quite discernable as a rose; more like a diluted tuberose mixed with a tulip. It is bright, but not CITRUS. Just light and lovely. Probably best worn in Spring and early Summer, but I'm wearing it today on a most chilly earthy autumn day, and it does not feel incredibly out of place or sickly sweet. It takes talent to show restraint. Well done. Edit: This deepened over time to a gorgeous scent still discernable on waking the next day. Not at all floral, but a deep and projecting base. This is where Bonds show the quality others think they lack. Cheap frags fall apart that many hours later. This thing was still developing.

So I have 2 yellow floral perfumes that I love, Gucci Profumo di Fiori and Penhaligons Highgrove Bouquet. Tried this at a boutique last week and got captivated, although I wasn’t ready to buy a full bottle so I received a 5ml decant today. It has a very similar warm floral opening to my other 2 perfumes, but this one has a much stronger soapy note, somewhat more of a grandma vibe. Despite definitely liking Highgrove Bouquet best, I might buy a full bottle, although I’m also considering Chelsea Flowers.

This Saturday morning, I blended Chez Bond (CB) with Park Avenue (PA). The chamomile from PA mixes beautifully with the tea accords from CB. The sparkling citrus notes from CB gives a nice lift to the paper white & vanilla notes in PA. This is a nice blend anyone can wear and great for warm weather. This combination makes me feel like grabbing a champagne drink, sit in my garden and enjoy the sun.

To me this smells just like Bvlgari's Jasmine Voile. Very sensual. I think it would project awesome sillage on someone else but on me it turns to BO and gives me a nausea headache :( Weird thing about this scent is it grows. When you spray it on, it's light, then it grows and grows on you. Great lasting power. I didn't expect that. I would love to smell this on another woman, just not me.

This is undoubtedly floral although it has a "tea" note which, for me, makes it more of a clean floral. Linear with low silage and average lasting power. Nice, pretty and appropriate for office wear.

Nice and safe scent I blind bought it recently.Very relaxing like you are having a nice cup of chamomile herbal tea in your garden with some breezy air in Spring!Like it!

This a is nice, light, lemony tea scent with slight floral notes. Very office appropriate. A great spring scent.

light flowers and poudre. For me very similar to Bvlgari Pour femme. :)
