Bond No. 9 Central Park West is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Laurent Le Guernec.

This loud white floral bomb is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. If you adore strong gardenia, ylang-ylang, and jasmine, get ready for an intoxicating ride. For everyone else, tread carefully or risk a headache.

About

Central Park West opens with a potent blast of white and yellow florals, dominated by an almost narcotic gardenia and sweet ylang-ylang, given a subtle kick by black pepper. As it settles, jasmine comes to the fore, intertwining with the creamy florals before transitioning into a woody, earthy dry-down of vetiver, oak, and moss. A sweet, slightly lactonic undertone ensures a rich, full-bodied experience from start to finish.
