Bond No. 9 New York Forever is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Domitille Michalon Bertier. New York Forever opens with Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Earthy, and Oakmoss. Bond No. 9's New York Forever carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

New York Forever is a deeply divisive scent. Some find it a magnificent cinnamon bomb comparable to top-tier niche fragrances, others dismiss it as a weaker imitation not worth the hefty price tag. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Given its strong projection and rich, warm accords like cinnamon, honey, and amber, New York Forever is best suited for evenings and special occasions. The intensity could be overwhelming for an office environment, but it shines in formal settings and on dates where a bold statement is desired.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with a potent, almost boozy blast of warm cinnamon, quickly intertwining with an earthy, slightly camphorous patchouli. As it settles, a rich honeyed sweetness emerges, blended with creamy vanilla and a hint of mossy amber, evoking a luxurious, bakery-like warmth. The drydown leaves a smooth, sensual trail of amber, musk, and a subtle earthiness.
