New York Forever
New York Forever by Bond No. 9 is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. The house lists its notes as cinnamon, patchouli, vanilla, amber, labdanum and oakmoss, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
