Bond No. 9 New York Amber is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2011. New York Amber opens with Bergamot, Pepper, Nutmeg, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oud. Bond No. 9's New York Amber carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-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.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its enormous sillage and longevity, New York Amber is far too overpowering for an office environment. It shines in evening settings - perfect for a sophisticated date or formal event where its bold character can make a commanding statement.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

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.
