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.
