Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street EDP

Description

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street is a sweet apple-and-amber EDP — a smooth, modern oriental-fougère built on juicy apple, creamy ambroxan and vanilla.

Part of Bond No. 9's New York neighborhood collection and launched in 2018, Lafayette Street captures downtown Manhattan's energy in a warm, crowd-pleasing amber. Bright bergamot and coriander open over a signature apple-and-ambroxan heart, drying down to a cozy base of tonka bean, ambergris and soft woods. Reviewers call it a smooth "amber bomb" — sweet and versatile, with the creamy ambroxan-ambergris base that fans praise for comfort and easy everyday wearability.

Performance

• Longevity: Strong — typically 6–8 hours on skin, helped by an ambroxan-ambergris base that clings well.
• Sillage: Moderate-to-strong — a warm amber projection early (an "amber bomb" in the opening) that settles closer over time.
• Projection: Good early throw, then a comfortable skin scent. One note: ambroxan can cause nose-blindness, so it may read softer to you than to those around you.
