Bond No. 9 2003 EDP
Riverside Drive
Bond No. 9 Riverside Drive is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Maurice Roucel. Riverside Drive opens with Violet and Basil, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Pineapple, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Bond No. 9's Riverside Drive carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.
Riverside Drive is a wildly divisive scent - some hail it as a unique, refined take on a fresh fougere, while others find its strong herbal notes jarring. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, particularly for those unaccustomed to prominent basil and oakmoss alongside fruit.
