Description
Bond No9 is launching a new spring fragrance dressed in optimistic pink shades with illustrated flowers on the body of the bottle and a plastic flower as a decoration on its neck. Judging by design of the new fragrance by Bond No9, spring will bring us an explosion of cheerful colors and positive vibrations, as well as feminine aromas combined harmoniously with the new edition.
“Central Park South, one of the most elegant streets in the world, with the richness of greenery on street door benches, is the inspiration for the latest Eau de Parfum by Bond No9.”—Bond No9.
Top notes will refresh us with luminous, gentle grapefruit blossom combined with black currant buds announcing the intoxicating heart full of blooming jasmine and lily of the valley, on a base of classic woody notes.
The new fragrance Central Park South will be available starting March 15, 2013 as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Woah! I wasnt expecting a banana skin smell on the opening. It’s that curious woody smell. Unmistakable.
I would never have guessed blackcurrant and grapefruit blossom were present.
I would have guessed ylang was present but it isn’t! It also makes me think of the tropical shrub Michelia. I’ve smelt in bloom in one of the greenhouses in Saville Gardens UK. I can detect a bit of jasmine. I totally get why some smell tuberose but it’s also very bananary (have I created a new word?!)
It’s definitely a scent of the hot and steamy tropics. It takes me back to hacking through jungle in Malaya. A night wear number only as pretty potent. It hangs around for hours even in these warm temps. Reasonable sillage as well.

On me, Central Park South is a sweet jasmine-ylang with a touch of raspberry. A ballet-slipper-pink sort of smell. I appreciate that it is smooth and there are no harsh chemical edges like many fruity florals, but it’s a little too simple for my tastes. Would I buy it? No. But I’ll enjoy my sample and spray it when I want to smell pretty but uncomplicated.

I am a huge fan of Bond and especially love Scent of Peace but I feel as though my nose has some sort of intolerance to this as I just cannot smell anything in it? I spray myself liberally in it and have had a couple of positive comments but cannot smell anything myself. At first I thought I coukd smell apricot/peach but that too disappeared. My daughter thinks I smell like a pineapple when I wear it, I jys feel as though I smell very clean? I’m gutted as I consider this to be quite pricey.

I’ve tried it just once and it’s in my wishlist ever since.it’s a fresh,clean and lovely white floral scent with fruity undertone which makes it a delicious floral scent
Before checking it’s notes I didn’t think of jasmine and lily of the valley.tuberose,gardenia,orange flower and even neroli were in my mind.it also reminded me my beloved central park west but it’s less heavy and more fresh.I guess I can actually pick up something like grapefruit but not in a sharp,sour way,also a hint of musk
All in all it’s gorgeous,sensual,clean and creamy and delicate but with great duration and projection

Why have roses all over the bottle when no rose in the scent?
Tamazian – :
very floral and long lasting.

unfortunately this remind me of a toilet deodorizers in some office buildings. this could be a clean and elegant scent, but since i first smell this scent as toilet deodorizers i can no longer imagine this scent as another scent.
very sad….
Xeroxcpzeb – :
Perfect clean jasmine. If ever there were a desire for a clean, sparkling white floral, this is it. I’m almost tempted to describe it as tuberose, but it’s clean, dreamy, fruity jasmine. An utter delight.

Just received my sample vial. It’s a very pretty, warm fragrance, which smells exactly like Madonna Truth or Dare on my skin…even my daughter asked if I was wearing the Madonna perfume today. I’ll give it the day, but if it continues to be compared to Truth or Dare either by my nose or someone else’s, why shell out the big bucks when Truth or Dare is way less expensive with monster sillage and longevity? Not to mention I have two back up bottles!
TYTAHXAMOH – :
I just love this scent!! It smells delicious and tantalizing!! I spayed it a lot on me when I was sampling it in Bloomingdales and I can’t wait to spray it on me in the summer and spring!! This is many of the scents I will pay to get over and over

I am a big fan of beautiful perfumes that do not set off my allergies, so I’m fairly happy with Central Park South. Despite being a powerful floral, it does not upset my eyes or sinuses when I wear it. The top notes are something green and bright, which must be the grapefruit blossom. But the big floral is already there and after about 10 minutes, the jasmine and white flower scent is really becoming the big note. After about 15 minutes, a slightly spicier flower comes in (I thought it was a lily but perhaps it was just lily of the valley.) Then, after about an hour, it is all jasmine, soft on the skin and still fairly strong. What I like is that this is not a sickly-sweet scent, despite being very floral. It is pleasant and for someone like me who loves power florals, it is a nice perfume to have because it stays on my skin a long, long time. That white floral note will still be there on my skin 8 hours later. However, it is so much about the flowery smell that it might be more suited to the kind of lady who lunches at the Plaza Hotel and lives around Central Park South than to myself. In any case, I’m happy to find something that does not trigger allergies, but it is so fully floral that I use it sparingly, on days when I’m ready to be smelling a grown-up, not too sweet jasmine all day long.

I have a Bond obsession every since my first bottle. This is my favorite so far. One spray will last all day. Love Love Love Love! I have others that are great as well but this on is the one for me for sure.

Expensive copy of Geurlain Jardins de Bagatelle. *sigh*
ALONIENLY – :
A short splash of fruit, and then the power florals emerge and overtake everything. This is a surprisingly strong perfume, and it painfully hits my nose everytime Its tendrils waft out from my arm.
CPS is too assertive for me and makes me want to escape into a park for some fresh air.
HotestMan – :
This smells magnolia to me! Nothing else. Idk why. It was the only one from the line that I liked. I only spray it on my hair after a shower and it lasts for days on end, however its very strong hence why I only spray it on my hair. Fresh, summery for night and day. A little goes a long gay when sprayed on the skin

I’m not a big fan of the Bond No 9’s, they are consistent in their awfulness. This one has a lovely opening, there is a wonderful violet in the center. But soon enough it becomes just another No 9: a great big soapfest and cheap, stinky soap at that.
romarioass – :
Home run for Bond! This is a big floral fragrance that, if applied with restraint, is just wonderful, sexy and long-lasting. A must try!
ZaXareNok – :
Wow, I really like this! It has a slight citrus tang and the floral notes are just gorgeous. I’m a huge jasmine fan and they used it perfectly here.
Exhabberb – :
divine! lasts a looooong time! gorgeous floral scent!
Paul – :
Central Park South doesn’t remind me of CPW. CPW is very white and green, pungent and very top heavy. This is much longer lasting and has warmth and brightness.
Still, it can be a bit of a scrubber if you use too much. It has fewer ingredients than CPW, but maybe that is its strength. It has berries and grapefruit to cut the sweetness and pungency, she only used jasmine this time (thank you!) with Lily of the Valley which is very different, and wood in the base. So you get depth, but it’s still fairly simple.
Again, as with any “combo” white flower fragrance, use it sparingly, on the wrists only (for most of us).

I recently purchased my first bond fragrance Central Park south, what can I say except I’m in loveeee with this smell, very intoxicating ……
STENFEEPE – :
One of the perfumes that lasts the longest on me, and trust me, I have tried hundreds. I absolutely love the florals in it. And the other day I mixed it with Madison Square Park and it turned into the BOMB!!!! So beautiful!!!! And very long lasting!!!! People will stop you on the street to ask you what you are wearing.

Central Park South is the ONLY perfume I have that got me a compliment on the 10th hour of the dry down. I work for FedEx Express and I was delivering a package to the receptionist at her desk. She gasped when I told her I sprayed CPS on my skin 10 hours ago. This is a true longevity and projection beast that just keeps on giving. This just speaks volumes in the quality that they put in their perfumes.
Reading the notes before actually buying it I feared the worst. CPS might just end up smelling like every designer perfume out there that has grapefruit and blackcurrant notes. But upon first spray….CPS hits you with one of the loudest and most colorful grapefruit top notes ive ever smelled. It QUICKLY separates itself from any other perfume with similiar notes. The jasmine mingling with the obvious grapefruit and blackcurrant notes just makes CPS dance on my skin. This is truly a refreshing high class spring scent. CPS dries down into a very masculine musky and woody base in its final glorious hours….in which I still managed to get noticed and get complimented on. This is another colorful and vibrant winner from the house of Bond. A MUST for spring!!!!

Just sniffed this in a magazine strip in Vogue and I love it! I hope it smells the same from the bottle.
magnoom – :
A new and improved Guerlain jardins de bagatelle. Gardenia and tuberose with less musk.
vitkalin – :
A wonderful, long-lasting, fresh white floral! This is probably my favorite Bond~ (and I have sniffed them all!) To my nose this is a slightly spicy tuberose-like floral that dries down to a soft, lingering floral musk. It is difficult to find a fresh floral that actually lasts. (Yes, Fracas is a lasting tuberose but it does not have the “fresh” quality of C. Park South.) This is pretty and it does not scream “PERFUME”. I have gotten comments like “You smell delicious!” and “Mmm!” while wearing this….
~Oh, and the flowers on the bottle are pictures of “fuschia flowers” not roses, per the Bond No. 9 website.

No rose in the formula ?

The moment I applied Bond no 9 CENTRAL PARK SOUTH, I was reminded of CENTRAL PARK WEST. Why? Because the big floral parade of narcissus, jasmine, and ylang-ylang is once again on display. It’s becoming pretty clear that Laurice Rahmé (the creative director of this house) loves narcissus, as when it figures in one of her perfumes, it tends to steal the show. Another example: HARRODS ROSE, which is more about narcissus and ambrette than it is about rose, at least according to my nose.
Once again, in CENTRAL PARK SOUTH, we have a somewhat overwhelmingly floral creation which is probably not going to appeal to many guys, nor any gals who dislike CENTRAL PARK WEST. I’m wondering about this launch, actually. It’s the first from Bond no. 9 in more than six months, and it seems like a permutation or Lego launch. The core of CENTRAL PARK WEST is here, plus some new notes, but because the core is so strong, it doesn’t really matter much which other notes were switched out for new ones.
I can recommend this composition to all and only those who love CENTRAL PARK WEST. Narcissus, jasmine, and ylang are once again here in abundance!
