Bond No. 9 Madison Soiree is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Bond No. 9's Madison Soiree carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is Bond No. 9's divisive take on a classic chypre floral. Some find it a sophisticated, clean masterpiece, others can't get past the sharp, almost 'nail polish remover' aldehyde opening. It's for those who appreciate a bold, old-school floral with serious presence.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

Madison Soiree opens with a bright, almost metallic burst of aldehydes, giving it a sharp, clean, and somewhat snobby initial impression. This quickly transitions into a rich, heady bouquet of white florals, with creamy gardenia, sweet honeysuckle, and indolic jasmine intertwining to create a deeply feminine heart. As it settles, a prominent, earthy oakmoss base emerges, lending a vintage, chypre-like depth and a lingering, sophisticated dryness that keeps the sweetness in check.
