Product Review: Bond No. 9 Success is a Job in New York City Eau de Parfum

Bond No. 9 Success is a Job in New York City Eau de Parfum

In October, New York-based perfume house Bond No. 9 launched "Success is a Job in New York." Following Silver Factory, Union Square and Lexington Avenue, Success is a Job in New York City is the latest addition to the Andy Warhol series.

It is named after the title of an article illustrated by Andy Warhol as his first assignment for Glamour magazine in the 50s. The bottle features the iconic silkscreened dollar signs designed by Andy Warhol in 1981.

Notes of Success is a Job in New York City Eau de Parfum:

Top notes: Bergamot, Cardamom Seed, Mandarin, Coriander, Nugmet
Middle notes: Pimento, Tuberose, Rose de Mai, Jasmine, Forbidden Plum, Iris
Base notes: Patchouli, Amber, Vanilla

The opening is citrusy and spicy. It settles down quickly to reveal a refreshing, yet relatively rich opening as the notes of bergamot, nutmeg and cardamon seed lend a soft sweetness and warmness to the beginning of this fragrance.

The top notes lead to a white floral accord with a faint hint of greenness. The notes of tuberose, jasmine and iris are more prominent in the heart, which is oriental, intense and powdery, but not overly sweet.

The scents mellow down to a warm, rich and velvety smooth finish, resting on an oriental base of vanilla and amber. The lasting power is good. It lasts eight to ten hours on my skin.




Summary

Success is a Job in New York City eau de parfum is a gourmand and oriental floral fragrance for cold weather of fall and winter. The intense, rich scents of Success is a Job in New York are an acquired taste. The fragrance weaving through a sensual blend of rich, savory scents and powdery, floral notes has a compelling and opulent character. I love the complexity and longevity of this fragrance.
