Superpower meets Supercity: The emerging superpower energy with the avant-garde cachet of Downtown New York. A sultry, mouth-watering equal-opportunity East-West bouquet.
Chinatown—the new Chinatown, suffused both with emerging superpower energy and with the avant-garde cachet of downtown New York.Â
What's in this seductively dynamic eau de parfum? Its top note is a burst of peach blossom - a mystic fruit in Chinese mythology that Taoists consider the elixir of life.
The midnotes are an intoxicating cross-cultural bouquet: Peony (known as Sho Yo, or Most Beautiful, the Chinese flower of love, luxury and indulgence), blended with creamy-sweet gardenia (the flower Billie Holiday wore in her hair) and sultry tuberose (known in the Western world as the Mistress of the Night), and mouth-watering patchouli, which adds a spiky note to the other florals. The lingering base notes are cardamom (an ancient spice from the East, long used as a condiment) and dark woods (recalling the scent of Chinese inlaid lacquered boxes).
Bond No. 9's Chinatown carries forward the long tradition of the so-called oriental perfumes that held sway in the 20th century. But ours is innovative - it's the first to add a New York aesthetic to the mix.Â
Notes: Peach Blossoms, Gardenia, Tuberose, Patchouli and Cardamom
