Bond No. 9 Astor Place is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Laurent Le Guernec. Astor Place opens with Mandarin and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Poppy, Iris, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Teak. Bond No. 9's Astor Place carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Astor Place is a divisive powerhouse floral; some can't get enough of its vibrant freshness, while others find it screechy and overbearing. It's a loud and unapologetic statement, perfect for those who want their presence known.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With strong sillage and impressive longevity, Astor Place can be a bit much for the office. Its vibrant floral and ozonic profile makes it fantastic for casual wear and dates, but it might be too playful for very formal settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A potent floral explosion, Astor Place opens with a zesty burst of mandarin alongside green violet leaf, before settling into a heart of powdery orris, vibrant poppy, and sweet freesia. The base grounds this lively bouquet with soft, clean musk, warm amber, and a hint of earthy teak wood, creating a scent that's both fresh and enduring.
