Lafayette Street

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. The fragrance opens with Coriander, Bergamot, and Floral, settles into a heart of Vanilla, Apple, and Ambroxan, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean, Woody, and Ambergris.

Our verdict on Lafayette Street: Acquired

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street is a divisive one, hyped by many as a mass-appealing, versatile masterpiece, but dismissed by others as overpriced and utterly generic. It's safe, sure, but whether it smells 'luxurious' or like cheap wet wipes depends entirely on your nose and your budget.

About

Lafayette Street opens with a zingy burst of bergamot, uplifted by a whisper of floral coriander. This rapidly sweetens into a crisp, juicy apple heart, softened by creamy vanilla and a hint of warm ambroxan. The dry down settles into a woody ambergris base, laced with smooth tonka for a clean, albeit somewhat generic, finish.
