Bond No. 9 Fire Island is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Michel Almairac. Fire Island opens with Cardamom, settles into a heart of Musk and Neroli, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Tuberose. Bond No. 9's Fire Island carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's proper divisive: a love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's the ultimate beach-holiday in a bottle, perfectly capturing sun-warmed skin and expensive lotion. Others just get a synthetic, harsh whiff of hairspray or even cleaning products.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its strong projection and summery beach vibe make it perfect for casual settings and dates, but potentially too distracting for the office. The clear 'sunscreen' association means it's not a go-to for formal events.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Fire Island is built on a creamy white floral core, with tuberose front and centre. It's softened by a musky undertone and a bright, spicy cardamom, lifted by neroli's citrusy sparkle. The patchouli adds a touch of earthy depth as it settles, evoking the scent of sun-baked skin after a day out.
