I had high hopes here as I generally like gourmand (even if it doesn't hold my attention for long) and what could be more delicious than a not terribly foody chocolate and plum mixture. But on me...

So New York is a light version of Angel IMHO. Most Bond No. 9's are some interpretation of some other fragrance. Very expensive and nothing special. The packaging is different and interesting...

I got the holiday Perfumista box for my birthday and all I can say is that I am addicted to mixing my own perfumes! Bond no 9 is so creative in coming up with such a concept! Everyday I create a...

Wow. Another bond that when i sniffed the bottle, i had no impression of it. Then, I put it on and it was beautiful. Chocolatey and floral (sounds weird but works beautifully) with very slight...

This is my new favorite fragrance and my favorite Bond scent (Chinatown and NY Fling are not far behind!). This is a complex fragrance that to me is neither very floral or gourmand. Somewhere in...

It starts out very gourmand- plums and chocolate, but then it morphs into a really soft floral. It is gorgeous! The lasting power is phenomenal. Lasts and lasts forever! It is very sensual and...

This starts off a lot like a fruitier version of Angel and dries down to a sweet floral/milky/coffee scent. I find it a tad too strong and a bit too similar to Angel for me to wear. It's also a bit...

I am looking for a new comfort scent and pulled out my sample of So New York. I can not believe I've had it for months and months and never tried it. When I first put it one I got a whiff of...

Thank God I didn't end up falling madly in love with this! My bank account rejoices. To be honest, I ordered a sample because it's really the candle I was craving. Now I don't want either the...

Baby wipes, talc & cinnamon blast at first sniff....swiftly fades to a cocoa heart note (my favorite part of this fragrance), but even that too goes away quickly to a base of spice and light...

I cannot believe how much I love this. It's like Angel without whatever the horrible thing in Angel is that makes it horrible. It's chocolate and velvet, rich coffee with cream. This scent is so...

I agree with what others are saying: this is definitely similar to Angel, but more refined. Doesn't have that "Christmas tree" scent I find in Angel. I love the cozy chocolate in it. A nice smooth...

This is one of only two Bond scents I have tried that I could find myself wearing and genuinely enjoying. It is a chocolaty gourmand scent (not foody, but warm and snuggly and sweet). It is as...

One of my favorite Bonds, and one of my favorite chocolate fragrances. Bond No. 9 So New York is a gourmand blend, but not an overly sweet one. On my skin, I smell a jammy plum topnote, a...

When I first applied this scent, I could detect a nice, soft chocolate scent but within 5 minutes, it had turned into a dry, powdery, burnt scent that smelled a little like cardboard and pencils,...

Well I for one think this is great! I wouldn't wear the ubiquitous Angel and although I love smell-alike Lolita Lempicka (which has licorice instead of the chocolate), the LL has a kind-of wheaty...

I'm terribly disappointed with this one. I was expecting a hint of freshly brewed coffee but ended with stale grounds and the smell of murky, burnt coffee. An outrageous price for something this...
