About Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street
Lafayette Street runs through SoHo and NoLIta in lower Manhattan — and this 2018 men's EDP captures the energy of that neighborhood. Bergamot, coriander, apple, ambroxan, vanilla, tonka, and ambergris. Rated 8.8 — one of the highest-rated fragrances on the site.
Bergamot, flowers, and coriander open with freshness and warmth. Coriander adds a slightly spiced, herbal edge to the bergamot's brightness.
Apple, ambroxan, and vanilla develop in the heart. Ambroxan is warm and slightly woody — a synthetic amber molecule that gives the mid enormous presence. Apple adds fresh fruitiness; vanilla softens.
Tonka bean, ambergris, and woody notes close the fragrance. Tonka adds sweet warmth; ambergris gives a natural depth. The drydown is warm, amber, and very long-lasting.
Best in fall and winter. A polished, sophisticated men's fragrance — the ambroxan-vanilla-tonka base is its anchor and greatest strength. The very high rating reflects how well the entire composition is put together.
