Bond No. 9 I Love New York for Mothers is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. I Love New York for Mothers opens with Freesia and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Lily, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Bond No. 9's I Love New York for Mothers carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is divisive: some find it a delightful, clean floral, while others are put off by a sharp, synthetic edge. You'll either love its bright, fresh vibe or find it headache-inducing. Definitely sample before committing.

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 fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear and daytime activities, while its longevity might be a bit much for a formal setting. Some find it strong enough that discretion is needed in an office, but others appreciate its bright, uplifting character there.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

I Love New York for Mothers opens with a vibrant burst of sweet tangerine, quickly softened by delicate, clean freesia. As it develops, a heart of creamy jasmine and elegant lily emerges, lending a distinctly feminine floral character. The dry down introduces a warm, clean musk, underpinned by smooth amber and a hint of sandalwood, creating a lingering softness with surprising depth.
