Bond No. 9 High Line is The New Fragrance by Bond No.9 New York will be launched in March 2010. Suggested Retail Price: $220 for 100ml; $145 for 50ml;
The scent of wildflowers, green grasses … and urban renewal. The scent starts off with a prairie grazing weed- purple love grass- mixed with citrusy bergamot and zesty Indian rhubarb. The perfume’s floral heart is red-leaf rose, Lady Jane tulips, and grape hyacinth. Its lingering base notes combine bur oak- from the sheltering tree that thrives here- with imported sea moss, to evoke the Hudson’s River proximity, along with musk and teakwood, to remind us that Bond No. 9 High Line is a metro- perfume.
Here’s their new fragrance-neighborhood presentation story:
Bond No. 9 High Line: The World’s First Railroad Perfume. ![]()
Since when do new neighborhoods arise in New York? Hardly ever. After all, this city is already jam-packed with just about every kind of community imaginable. So when a new part of town appears, you can be sure we’re in for something completely different. Like our latest and most dynamic neighborhood, the High Line— which serves as the subject of Bond No. 9’s Spring 2010 eau de parfum.
An improbable aerial walkway lined with concrete planks and railroad tracks, landscaped with meadows, wetlands, and wildflowers, the High Line hovers 30 feet above street level as it meanders along its route from the Meatpacking District to the former 34th Street rail yards— sometimes bridging its way through buildings along the way. Lately too it’s begun serving a daily parade of New Yorkers and visitors wanting both a respite from and a fresh take on our non-stop kaleidoscopic city.
The textured silkscreen surface design on the clear glass High Line bottle furthers the beauty-emerging-in-a-gritty-urban-industrial-environment narrative: In the foreground, hardy blades of tall grass and determined fuchsia tulip buds sprout from gunmetal grey rail tracks (affixed to the bottle as a metal plaque) displaying the name, High Line. As for the Bond No. 9 token logo, it appears raised in relief as a backdrop.
I love the scent (got samples). It gives the me revival spring feeling, the feeling of lightness and hope for more travel and less work on spring sunny days.. .
I have Andy Warhol’s Silver Factory since two years ago and I find it hard to say goodbye to it. Bond No.9 has nicest bottles to keep and fragrances hard to forget… Ask my hubby!
