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

Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
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.
