Bond No. 9 New York Gardenia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. New York Gardenia opens with Jasmine, Tuberose, and Peony, settles into a heart of Rose and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Vanilla. Bond No. 9's New York Gardenia carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a big, creamy white floral that's divisive; some find it a gorgeous, sensual indulgence, whilst others are underwhelmed by its projection and question the price tag. Expect a heady gardenia-tuberose blend, but don't expect a fresh-cut flower.

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.

About

New York Gardenia unfurls with a rich, narcotic blend of tuberose and jasmine, swiftly joined by the star gardenia. This isn't a demure bloom; it's lush and creamy, with an almost lactonic sweetness. As it settles, a soft vanilla undercurrent emerges, grounding the florals, while a hint of vetiver adds a subtle, earthy depth, preventing it from becoming overly sweet. It's an enveloping, opulent white floral experience.
