Bond No. 9 Chinatown is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Aurélien Guichard. Chinatown opens with Peach Blossom and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Peony, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood. Bond No. 9's Chinatown carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Chinatown is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a polarizing, unique blend of spicy florals and creamy woods that some find enchanting and others, well, say it's more 'old lady' than niche.

Its potent projection and distinctive, strong white floral and oriental accords make it a bit much for the office.

It's a bold choice, but some reviewers find it versatile enough for daily wear.

About

Imagine a rich tapestry of peach blossom and bergamot, leading into a creamy heart of peony, gardenia, and tuberose. Beneath this opulent floral bouquet, a warm, spiced base of sandalwood, patchouli, guaiac wood, cedar, cardamom, and vanilla creates a complex, lingering trail. It's a journey from bright, sweet florals to an enveloping, balsamic depth.
