Which Should You Buy?
Bond No. 9 New York Nights is a confusing beast - a divisive gourmand that throws everything but the kitchen sink at you. You'll either get creamy banana bread dreams or nail polish remover. Not for the faint-hearted or those seeking linear perfection, but undoubtedly unique.
This one's a definite love-it-or-hate-it. Some call it stunning and an exquisite caramel dream, a night-time banger. Others smell synthetic plastic and a repulsive banana. Don't blind buy, sample first to see which camp you fall into.

With significant sweetness and prominent caramel and coffee accords, this leans away from formal or office settings. Its strong sillage and 'date night' mentions in reviews highlight its suitability for intimate evening wear and casual outings, though some find it versatile enough for year-round wear.
