Last week was incredibly hectic at work, and I desperately needed a fragrance that could make me feel empowered and ready to tackle anything. I was looking for something bold and long-lasting, capable of enduring those extended work shifts while leaving a subtle yet persistent impression. My quest led me to delve into my collection of Bond No. 9 samples, seeking the perfect scent for both my demanding schedule and a feature for Bond Monday. Without consciously checking names or notes, I randomly selected a vial, and it turned out to be Bond No 9 Wall Street – an immediate winner.
The initial whiff from the vial offered a refreshing hint of citrus, a crisp, clean note reminiscent of cucumber, and a subtle touch of musk, preventing it from being overly sweet or simplistic.
Top Notes: Citrus, Cucumber, Sea Kale
Middle Notes: Ozone, Lentisque, Lavender, Bigarrade
Base Notes: Musk, Vetiver, Ambergris
As Bond No 9 Wall Street develops on the skin, it only gets more captivating. The cucumber note gracefully recedes, allowing the vibrant citrus and soothing lavender to emerge more prominently, beautifully underscored by a hint of musk. The most intriguing aspect is the thyme note, which provides an unexpected depth and complexity to the overall composition. This herbaceous touch elevates the fragrance beyond a typical fresh scent, adding a layer of sophistication.
What truly impressed me about Bond No 9 Wall Street is its remarkable longevity. Even after an exceptionally long workday, stretching from early morning to the late hours of the night, colleagues were still inquiring about my fragrance at 3 AM. Considering I had applied it around 6 AM the previous day, its staying power is truly exceptional. This fragrance achieves a harmonious balance between musk and citrus, enlivened by the refreshing cucumber and the grounding thyme.
Wearing Bond No 9 Wall Street undeniably instilled a sense of strength and renewed energy. I envision this fragrance being particularly well-suited for occasions that demand confidence and assertiveness, such as public speaking engagements or crucial job interviews. Its inherently androgynous nature also makes it a versatile choice, potentially perfect for sharing with a partner.
You can purchase Bond No 9 Wall Street at Saks or directly from Bond No 9.
