Tuxedo Park
Tuxedo Park by Bond No. 9 is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. The house lists its notes as yuzu, grapefruit, bitter orange, mandarin, lime, petitgrain, pink pepper, sambac jasmine, tuberose, oud, leather, musk and ambroxan, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
