Lexington Avenue is the third fragrance that Bond No.9 created in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation. The fragrance is described as “a floral woody chypre with highly coveted contemporary gourmand notes”. It has top notes of blue cypress, fennel, cardamom, roasted almonds, a heart of pink peony, florentine orris, creme brulee and pimento berry and base notes of patchouli and sandalwood. It is a wonderful floral, slightly sweet and spicy scent. It is rich but not overpowering and lasts all day. I really like the fragrance and it is definitely worth checking it out.
I also love the packaging, I think it is really cool and creative. It is decorated with shoes because Andy Warhol used to work as an illustrator for I. Miller Shoe Company in the 1950s when he lived in Lexington Avenue in New York. For the holidays season, a limited edition flacon is available. It features a necklace with 4 shoe charms, inspired by Warhol’s sketches and retails at $575.
Summary:
Overall, I really love this fragrance. It has a lovely sweet and spicy but not overpowering scent that lasts all day. The packaging is very pretty and original as well. However, it is expensive.
Rating: 4/5

The notes smell nice and I love gourmand perfume, gotta save money for this one!
It does smell lovely. The notes are very interesting and the fragrance doesn’t disappoint. I was afraid it was going to be overly sweet, which is a big no-no for me, but luckily that wasn’t the case.
