Bond No. 9 New York Patchouli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. New York Patchouli opens with Bergamot, Rose, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Lily, and Lilac, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Bond No. 9's New York Patchouli carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Bond No. 9 New York Patchouli is definitely *not* what you expect from the name- it's a fresh, clean surprise that gets showered with compliments, but leaves patchouli enthusiasts wondering where the patchouli went. Love it or hate it, it certainly brings the conversation.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, fresh, and versatile profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear, as it's not overpowering despite its longevity. While it can also work for dates and even some formal settings, its generally upbeat and less 'heavy' character prevents it from being a top pick for those occasions.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

Opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and a candied litchi sweetness, softened by a delicate rose. The heart blooms into a fresh floral bouquet of lilac and lily, with patchouli taking a surprisingly subtle, airy role. As it dries, it settles into a clean, woody musk of sandalwood, cedar, and amber, remaining fresh and airy throughout.
