Chinatown

by Aurélien Guichard

Bond No. 9 Chinatown is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Aurélien Guichard. The fragrance opens with Bergamot and Peach Blossom, settles into a heart of Peony, Orange Blossom, Gardenia, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood.

Our verdict on Chinatown: Acquired

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and distinctive, strong white floral and oriental accords make it a bit much for the office. However, these same qualities, especially the sensual woody-spicy dry down, lend themselves perfectly to date nights and formal events. 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.
