Bond No. 9 Bryant Park
posted Thursday, 8 February 2007
Bryant Park is the latest fragrance from New York-based perfumer Bond No. 9.
It was created by perfumer Michel Almairac, and is described as "a rose-patchouli concoction with pink pepper added for dissonance." Although their last new fragrance, West Side also has notes of rose and amber, the two scents are quite different.
Bryant Park
Notes: rose, patchouli, pink pepper, lily of the valley, rhubarb, raspberry, amber
The opening is of tart rhubarb and tingly pink pepper with a floral background note. The patchouli, combined with the pepper, gives Bryant Park a sexy earthiness, and the raspberry is dry, not sweet.
After a few minutes, the floral background notes surge forward, causing the overall scent to become more "perfumy," then fade back down again to let the amber peek through. The drydown--the best part and definitely worth waiting for--is a lovely amber floral that still carries the tang of rhubarb and raspberry.
Bryant Park will be available on March 1. Dig that groovilicious Pucci-esque bottle!
