Description
Lafayette Street runs through the creative heart of SoHo, where galleries, fashion studios, and architectural landmark buildings crowd both sides. Bond No 9 distils this specific urban energy into a fragrance that is simultaneously sleek, warm, and unmistakably New York.
Bergamot and coriander open the composition with freshness and spice in equal measure — a clean, aromatic introduction that doesn't linger long before the deeper character takes hold.
The heart is defined by ambroxan — a note celebrated for its skin-like warmth and the way it seems to amplify the wearer's natural scent. Grey amber deepens this effect, while vanilla and tonka bean lend a smooth, slightly gourmand sweetness that sits beneath the surface.
Dry wood and cedarwood anchor the base, lending the fragrance its backbone of quiet masculine authority. For wholesale perfume buyers, Lafayette Street occupies a premium slot in the oriental fougère category that performs strongly across multiple demographics.
