Hippos are native to sub-Saharan Africa, so how did Colombia end up with a thriving hippopotamus population? It can all be attributed to one man — Pablo Escobar. Along with billions of dollars of cocaine, Escobar also smuggled illegal animals into the country. The collection of exotic wildlife served as a safari for his Hacienda Napoles estate. After his death, all of the animals were moved to zoos with the exception of four escaped hippos. These four have now multiplied into 40 and can be found roaming the Colombian countryside.

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street Parfum

This smooth and seductive ultra-male oriental fougère captivates both men and women alike. Inspired by the vibrant revival of Lafayette Street — a historic thoroughfare weaving through iconic New York neighborhoods like Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown—the fragrance embodies the energy of its surroundings. It opens with fresh bergamot, coriander, and floral notes, transitions to a heart of velvety ambroxan and rich vanilla, and finishes with lingering dry wood, tonka bean, cedarwood, and warm grey amber. Encased in a sleek, leather-textured bottle, Lafayette Street is a celebration of modern masculinity and a tribute to Bond No. 9's roots.
