For the holidays, Bond No. 9 goes from understated to shamelessly luxurious!


Bleecker Street Bejeweled ($395, 100ml)
This year, Bond No.9 chose Bleecker Street for their annual “Swarovski treatment”. Bleecker Street is a gourmand oriental mingling of patchouli, cassis, caramel, woods, and musk. The limited edition bottle is studded, back and front, with crystals.


The Swarovski All-Stars ($650, 50ml)
Bond No.9 has embellished three more of their most coveted scents with the tiniest and most reflective of all the Swarovski stones. Eau de New York (citruses, cyclamen, jasmine, vetiver) is studded with diamond-colored aurora borealis stones, Chelsea Flowers (peonies, magnolia, rose) is decked with emerald-colored stones while Chinatown (peach, gardenia, tuberose, sandalwood) features ruby-colored stones.


The Crystallized Amphora ($3,500)
This super-sized 42 oz amphora vitrine is covered with 16,500 hand-applied platinum Swarovski stones. The top has an elliptical mirror with honeycomb base. And the content? You can fill this gorgeous bottle with one of the 32 Bond No.9 scents. All of this comes in a white patent leather gift case, also adorned with crystals.

The first one sounds good but I’ve never worn Bond no 9 before. The bottles are blinging but not really beautiful in my opinion. The Warhol collection was much better designed.

I’ve only tried Lexington Avenue by Bond No.9 and it has a lovely smell. I’m actually gonna write a review soon.
I love the amphora, that looks gorgeous, but the others are a too blinging for my liking. They still look pretty though but I agree that the Warhol collection looks much better!

Sab: they are very blinging aren’t they? and pretty too.

Alyssa: Bond No. 9 is a brand based in New York and their fragrances pay homeage to NY city. And I love their packaging, it’s always very cute and creative.
