Nouveau Bowery
Nouveau Bowery by Bond No. 9 is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. The house lists its notes as lime, bergamot, basil, thyme, mandarin, lily, patchouli, oakmoss and vetiver, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Basil Peppery herb with an aniseed lift. Culinary but wearable.
- Thyme Dry, sharp kitchen herb. Bracing and slightly antiseptic.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Lily A big, creamy, slightly spicy white flower. The kind that fills a room.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
