Bond No. 9 Central Park is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004. Central Park opens with Linden Tree, Bergamot, Petitgrain, and Basil, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Resins, Musk, Cedar, and Patchouli. Bond No. 9's Central Park carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive Bond no. 9 offering; some find it a gorgeous, uplifting green-floral, others a short-lived men's cologne. If you want to smell like expensive laundry and fresh-cut grass, give it a go, but sample first.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its clean, fresh, and slightly green profile makes it highly versatile for casual daywear and office settings.

The invigorating top notes also lend themselves to sporting activities.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

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

Central Park opens with an invigorating burst of zesty bergamot, sharp lime, and herbaceous basil, evoking freshly cut greenery. This vibrant introduction quickly softens into a clean, slightly soapy heart of delicate lily of the valley and subtle rose, balanced by clean jasmine. The dry down settles into a sophisticated base of earthy patchouli, warm resins, and a hint of musk and cedar, maintaining its fresh, green character.
