So New York

Bond No. 9 So New York is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. So New York opens with Plum, settles into a heart of Coffee, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod and Powdery. Bond No. 9's So New York carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some love its unique chocolaty, powdery plum vibe, others find it a "powder bomb" or just baffling. Definitely not a safe blind buy, and performance is a wild card. Expect something unusual; just don't expect everyone to get it.

Best Seasons

Best For:

Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and powdery dry down make it acceptable for casual and even some office wear, though the gourmand facets might be too much for formal settings. The warm, cosy accords lend themselves well to dates, especially in cooler weather, but it's far too heavy for sport.

About

Opens with a juicy, dark plum, quickly enveloped by a rich coffee and a dusting of bitter cacao. The dry down settles into a surprisingly prominent powdery base, lending a unique sophisticated-yet-gourmand feel. It's a sweet, warm embrace, but with an earthy, almost musky undertone.
