Bond No. 9 Madison Square Park is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Laurent Le Guernec. Madison Square Park opens with Hyacinth, Blueberry, and Grass, settles into a heart of Tulip and Rose, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Teak. Bond No. 9's Madison Square Park carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This perfume is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique green and fruity freshness, or you'll be left underwhelmed, finding it too generic or synthetic for its luxury price tag. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, but for those who love it, prepare for a joyful spring garden in a bottle.

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:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear or as an inoffensive office scent, despite some finding it a bit sharp initially. While it can work for a daytime date, it's not quite robust enough for formal events or intense sport.

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.

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

Madison Square Park opens with a vibrant, almost fizzy burst of fresh cut grass and sweet, juicy blueberries, underscored by the crisp, heady aroma of hyacinth. As it settles, a clean, gentle floral heart emerges, dominated by delicate rose and a whisper of pink tulip, avoiding any powdery sentiment. The base is light, with vetiver offering an earthy anchor and teakwood adding a touch of subtle warmth without overshadowing the buoyant top and heart notes, maintaining a fresh and airy feel throughout its evolution.
