New York Amber

Bond No. 9 New York Amber is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. New York Amber settles into a heart of Myrrh, Musk, Pepper, and Bergamot. Bond No. 9's New York Amber carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Divisive and bold, New York Amber is a beast of a scent that some adore for its rich, oriental character and others reject as synthetic and overwhelming. Be warned: it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, with monstrous projection and longevity.

About

An intense, opulent amber fragrance, New York Amber doesn't hold back. It opens with an almost medicinal oud and bold rose, spiced sharply with pepper and nutmeg, softened by sweet saffron. As it settles, a warm, resinous benzoin and myrrh emerge, grounded by sandalwood, though the amber itself often takes a backseat to the powerhouse rose and oud. It's a complex, oriental potion, with a prominent soapy-floral undertone that adds to its polarising nature.
