Bond No. 9 My New York is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Michel Almairac. My New York opens with Pink Pepper, Ginger, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Papyrus and Rose, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Cashmeran. Bond No. 9's My New York carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Bond No. 9's My New York is a divisive beast: some hail its unique spicy rose blend, while for others, it's a 'no, thank you' on a rose-heavy train. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample it first and see if you too can break from the shackles of perfume etiquette.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Several reviewers attest to its suitability for the office, owing to its well-blended nature and moderate projection. Its unique, sophisticated blend of woody and rose accords also makes it a strong contender for dates and formal events, though perhaps less fitting for purely casual wear or 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.

Other declarable allergens

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

A complex woody rose that opens with a vibrant, fresh spice kick from ginger and pink pepper, softened by the resinous elemi. The heart blooms into a distinct, airy rose, underpinned by the dry, almost papery scent of papyrus. It settles into a warm, creamy embrace of sandalwood and cashmeran, with an earthy patchouli grounding the composition.
