New York Musk

Bond No. 9 New York Musk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. New York Musk opens with Blackcurrant and Grapefruit Blossom, settles into a heart of Osmanthus, Lily, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Musk. Bond No. 9's New York Musk carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

New York Musk is a divisive masterpiece of musk and wood, striking some as a sophisticated, alluring skin scent, while others recoil from its animalic nature. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for those who dare to venture into bold musky territory.

The strong, musky character, which can be perceived as animalic by some, makes it less ideal for a formal office setting. However, its bold and sensual nature, coupled with decent longevity for some, makes it a compelling choice for dates and evenings out.

About

Opens with an intriguing burst of sharp blackcurrant and delicate grapefruit blossom, quickly settling into a complex heart of powdery osmanthus, fresh lily, and a hint of warm nutmeg. The dry-down is dominated by a rich, earthy blend of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli, underpinned by a dominant, sometimes challenging, animalic musk. It's woody, floral, and unmistakably musky.
