Bond No. 9 New Haarlem is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Maurice Roucel. New Haarlem opens with Green, Bergamot, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cedar and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Bond No. 9's New Haarlem carries an Acquired verdict, a coffee-led wear.

Divisive, love-it-or-hate-it. This 'sexy pancakes' scent has a cult following who adore its edible warmth and beast mode performance, but it's not for everyone. Some find the maple syrup note overwhelming and artificial, leaning into cloying territory.

About

New Haarlem opens with a surprisingly fresh burst of lavender and green notes, quickly softened by a sweet bergamot. This momentary crispness soon gives way to a rich, warm heart dominated by a creamy, almost burnt coffee note, intertwined with balsamic cedar. The dry down is a gourmand dream of amber, tonka bean, and vanilla, creating a syrupy, pancake-like embrace, grounded by a subtle, earthy patchouli.
