Bond No. 9 was founded in New York City in 2003 by Laurice Rahmé, a Lebanese-born entrepreneur who wanted to create a fragrance house that celebrated New York City neighbourhood by neighbourhood — each composition a love letter to a specific Manhattan address. The bottle, featuring a star of circles, has become one of the most distinctive and recognised fragrance flacons in the niche market. Over 100 compositions now map the city from Park Avenue to Chinatown. Bond No. 9 occupies a unique position: a genuinely New York niche house with an accessible-to-premium price range.

Every Bond No. 9 fragrance at The Scent Stories® is 100% authentic, factory-sealed and brand-packaged.
