Bond No. 9 Nolita is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Nolita opens with Freesia and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Bond No. 9's Nolita carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Nolita is your ultimate fresh, 'clean girl' scent - if you can overlook the contentious price tag and uncanny resemblance to high street body mists. It's divisive, with some critics claiming it's an overpriced 'shampoo-ey' fragrance, whilst fans adore its sweet, juicy, effervescent charm.

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.

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

  • 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

A vibrant burst of tangerine immediately invigorates the senses, complemented by the delicate, airy freshness of freesia. As this zesty opening mellows, a rich bouquet of white florals emerges, with rose and jasmine providing a classic, sophisticated heart. The base settles into a comforting blend of soft, creamy sandalwood, warm amber, and a clean, lingering musk, giving it a playful yet grounded finish.
