My collection of Bonds grows. Weirdly enough, most of my Bonds were bought blindly, and this one is not an exception.
Neroli, citrus, and herbs… Think Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza, Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, or top notes of Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Colonia, plus a little dirty note; then think of a Schwarzenegger version of them ’cause this stuff is strong!
On the other hand, don’t make my mistake of buying this if you already own one of those neroli-dominant colognes – you’ll be risking to end up with two twins. So… Yes, it’s a great scent but it has to be your first and only one of the kind.

The most natural smelling bond, and also my favorite! tayyabforyouth said it best!
Croud pleaser, a more uplifting GIT and lasts all day long.
I’ve gotten, wow are you wearing sun screen or something you smell incredible”
5 times better than the extremely over rated MFK’s in this same vein ala aqva universals, forte, etc etc
This thing gets so green just to the edge of perfect, then so clean white musky just to edge of perfect. Where the MFK’s get nasty in the overly done musky cocktail this baby absolutely nails it.
This IS the best in class green,spring,uplifting in a bottle.
I have given away decants and just tell people its a honey suckle scent, the flower the honey the green leaves. This is the holy grail honey suckle scent that brings me back.
It’s my neroli supreme as I often refer to it, its like a thick yellow punch of pure nirvana.
I’ve been looking for a replacement for the 90’s Clinique Happy to fill its long lost void and I’m happy to say I’ve found not only its replacement but its rich creator, Mr. liquid happy pants!
This was one of the first niche scent I bought and one that got me hooked and disappointed that still nothing has come close, not even within 2 points. After trying as many spring summer niche scents I have its still confirmed there just aint nothin close to this, a strong LOVE!

Washing machine powder in a bottle. Inoffensive, clean and very strong.

This is the greatest neroli (orange blossom) fragrance ever made in my opinion, hands down, and basically smells like you’re smelling an orange tree and the grassy wet field in which it stands during the rain. It’s the strongest neroli fragrance ever made, being way stronger than 4711 Eau de Cologne, Ferrari Bright Neroli, Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Forte, and Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza. I just feel like I’m in bliss when smelling this, especially as neroli is one of my favourite aromas in the world. This has a very green neroli and petitgrain scent to it that smells like a way more natural version of Mugler Cologne or Creed’s Original Vetiver. I can smell the neroli but also the plant upon which it resides, including all the leaves and twigs, and also the grass in which it lives. The whole thing smells ‘wet’ as well as if it had just rained; it has the petrichor scent to it. It’s a wonderful green scent that I’m a gigantic fan of. The neroli itself is extremely natural smelling and of the soapy kind. It’s very, very pleasant. On drydown about 6 hours later, I detect the strong scent of white flowers – particularly jasmine and lily of the valley. The entire fragrance is totally unisex in my opinion but some would say is slightly feminine on the late drydown due to the white flowers – but I love white flowers so it doesn’t bother me. This is also a beast in terms of performance, with strong projection for over 7 hours and around 10 hours of longevity in total on my skin. However the projection although strong is of the light and airy kind and non-cloying although it lasts for a very long time (very similar to Mugler Cologne) and not strong in the sense of a thick, cloying fragrance or even something like Mancera Lemon Line. This is one that if you wear, people will think you smell good but won’t be overpowered by your scent. Overall this is the greatest neroli fragrance ever made in my opinion, and one of the best fragrances period; definitely in my top 10.
5/5
nazaron95 – :
It DOES, in fact, as another reviewer said, smell like a good quality sunscreen. WOW.
I also picked up a not so subtle hint of ANISE SEED.
I got this sample by mistake… But I am pleasantly amused by it. I was expecting to HATE it based on the notes.
I dont hate it, at all, though. Its quite pleasant, a wonderful surprise, and unique.
I will never buy this for myself, but I may buy it for my boyfriend.
To me this is unisex in an obvious way… Though a man wearing this should DEFINITELY use very sparingly, while females can afford to be more liberal in their application.
Xeroxinhlw – :
In the same vicinity of Neroli Portofino
The initial blast is superb
But as it drys down, it becomes a bit too feminine for me (Even their website lists it as a ‘Womens’ perfume)
Initial Blast: Zesty, Citrus, Green Notes
DryDown: Freshly laundered linens
minsky – :
I blind bought a partial bottle, because this fragrance has favorable reviews toward what I like.
Right off the bat, I love this!!! Smells like high-end sunscreen and lotion, a big floppy hat and big dark sunglasses. It smells like I’m not going to work today, I’m headed to the beach instead!
If I had to compare this scent to anything, it’s in the vein of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino or even Thierry Mugler Cologne, this one performing better than both of those COMBINED by the way.. Sometimes a fragrance will boldly evoke a color to me, and I can’t fully say why but this fragrance makes me think “light green and yellow” even though the scent is really white floral and citrus.
I’m glad I revisited Bond and tried this because I previously overlooked it as maybe not being my style..it is!! I love anything that smells like Summer, and this certainly does for me. Wear Mugler for the office, this stuff for out-&-about, Neroli Port for either in case you’re curious.
botanik63 – :
Ouch!!!! Just got this today what a marvelous smell very yummy candy like scent, for me it’s a WoW!!! 10/10. Overall performance is fantastic.
ninel – :
maybe i’m alone but i rather this than TF neroli portofino.
they are similar to me but this projects better, lasts longer and smells better.
When you just get out the shower on a summer or spring day this is one to put on. white t shirt and jeans with this one. i wouldn’t wear this with formal attire. this is more of a mature yet playful scent to me.
projection is great but on my skin i’d prefer a little more on the longevity..
the scent is great.
overall 8/10
peace and blessings to all
Eugen_14 – :
Finally I got this perfum this summer 2016. Green, citrus, fresh but long lasting. Perfect in Spring time, summer and in warm Autumn too. If you want something fresh but that last much longer than other citrus scent. The bottle is beautiful and joyous
Legion14 – :
If you want to give off that fresh laundry smell this fragrance is for you.
uex806Negeltzex – :
Smells exactly like an Ajax dish liquid with a lemon scent. It’s not the bad scent (otherwise Ajax wouldn’t be producing it), but I am surprised that Bond No.9 is exploiting the similar composition in its perfume.
Kraft777 – :
lets get straight to the point !
if you have a chance to wear this masterfully blended parfum dont think twice
its a true gem in my collection
from the initial spray on the tester paper to the beautiful opening of neroli and other citrus notes on my skin i was hooked
it projected wonderfully to the point that i couldn’t stop thinking to myself damn i smell like a million bucks haha even tho i didn’t get a complement apart from the people who smelt it during my initial spray
the harshest critic to please was extremely satisfied and thats what count
as long as im able to smell it throughout its wearing it eventually lifts myself confidence and my over all mood and that alone is worth it retail price of 305
10 out of 10 blind buy worthy!!!
on to the next
King Arturio – :
My favorite from the Bond line. If you like fragrances like:
Thierry Mugler’s “Mugler Cologne”
Creed’s “Original Vetiver”
Jo Malone’s “Oud & Bergamot”
Tom Ford’s “Neroli Portafino”
You would probably like this one.
It’s a nice citrusy/floral blend with a woody/vetiver base with hints of green/musk throughout. Very Clean and fresh.
evro_77 – :
I think this perfume is nice for many people than other Bond perfumes.
Smell’s image is morning central park’s green.
But people who don’t like perfume,this perfume doesn’t work too.
Anyway,Bond series is hard to blind buy.
So,try is better.
(But only few store,not easy to try,and expensive!)
ephepsync – :
I have a small sample of this scent, and I want more. On a first spray my reaction was unanimously positive. It feels sharp, green, fresh, a bit aniseed, a bit fruity, but very unique and very beautiful. It’s an obvious quality niche perfume that has an aura very much of it’s own. I know the price is high, but the pure freshness and energetic uplift that it brings is surely worth it.
d0n4len – :
A beautiful Neroli scent backed up by the petitgrain and mandarin orange. IN MY OWN personal experience i find this hard to pull of casually and much prefer to wear this dressed up rather than down. It is some quite potent juice and does last and project. It gives me an aura of being extremely clean & fresh which i just love! Can definitely be worn all year round. If you love Neroli Portofino i highly recommend checking this juice out, plus it lasts twice as long!
david77 – :
WARNING: Don’t spray this on your clothes. It left orange stains on my white t-shirt. As for the scent? It’s wondrous. This performs thee best on a windy fall day.
Georgannyrt – :
I like this gem a lot. Very Green and clean smelling. Pharrel Williams song Happy comes to mind!
vladika – :
Extremely sharp, green citrus. More masculine than feminine, and I don’t get much of the rest of the notes out of it. Mostly the citrus, which runs over everything else. It didn’t last very long on me which is unusual for the line.
konsi1 – :
I purchased this as a nice everyday fragrance. Then I wore it to a concert in the St.Louis Cathedral. BIG mistake! The weather was a bit warm (for January in New Orleans) and it became a silage monster! I was so embarassed. Couldn’t wait to get home and shower. This fragrance is only meant for cold New York weather, and should be put in storage with your mink coat in the spring!
bzik616 – :
A citrus scent that you don’t want to wear in warm weather? This would be it!
The smell is actually very unique. Its got a lot of fairly common ingredients if you look at it on paper. But when you smell it, i think you’ll agree theres not anything like it.
The problem is that it comes of thick and heavy. Almost syrupy.
I owned a bottle of this up until a few days ago. I had to get rid of it. With the Heat coming back in the upcoming months, no way i’m doing a repeat of last summer. I nearly vomitted wearing this.
Its got outstanding performance. But i just can’t wear it in the summer. Which is odd because you want to wear fresh things in summer time.
roma19987 – :
Eau de New York is a wonderful, long lasting fragrance that puts you in the middle of a Sicilian citrus grove that’s been under planted with aromatic green herbs. What a pleasure!
karligasov – :
Another overpriced product from Bond No 9.
Very cheap, light and synthetic soapy neroli.
Mugler Cologne smells like this but much cheaper.
Longevity and sillage are too low.
scent: 3/10
longevity: 4/10
sillage: 4/10
mener – :
oh my gosh. Ok. First let me just say that I find the polarizing nature of Bond to be amusing. People either love or hate. I see both sides. I might tend to agree with the “overpriced/not worth it” camp if it weren’t for this and Fire Island.
Neroli and rose are heaven on me. The thing about roses and nerolis and tuberose etc is that they are categorized as light, but IMO, they have a top, medium, and base even within their own smell. Complex, deep, swirling. Not sure what my chemistry is, but truly these are my favorites and keep me bright, seductive, and radiant all at once. I struggled to find the perfect orange blossom and neroli for years, until I found Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.
Then some clever saleslady at Saks showed me how to layer this, Eau de New York, with Fire Island.
Oh. my. heavens!!!!!!!
Just wow. Truly gorgeous.
Now one could argue that a good fragrance should be able to stand on its own and not require additional user blending to be truly great. And, this is good on its own. But blended with Fire Island is something more rare altogether.
But honestly, what’s more fun? A blouse you wear once, or one you can wear with everything?
It’s kind of fun to see that sometimes 2+2=5 with this line.
Flarcewew – :
This one got me kicked out of the bedroom for smelling like disinfectant spray. So much longevity that it became a bad thing…I almost had to spend the night on the couch. Bottle has been banished to the “spray it at the dog when he pees on the floor” shelf.
galicinn – :
The neroli kills it for me. This would of been a blind buy, but thanks to a sample I was able to wear it a few times. I love green florals like Central Park, and I don’t even mind laundry type scents. This on the other hand is very floral on me, and that neroli note gives me a headache. Not a bad one, this isn’t a dangerous scent but it’s very one dimensional.
jeka_more – :
I got a sample of this and I’m glad that’s all I purchased. This one just didn’t work with my skin at all. I got this pine tree scent that drove me nuts and even my hubby didn’t like it, not even for him. With all that being said, the sillage and longevity are great, as always with Bond fragrances. I know this one is labeled as unisex, but I think it suits a man much better, IMO. I guess they all can’t be winners, but if you want to try this, definitely get a sample first.
pentaxer – :
First of all I’m new to the world of perfumes so please forgive my rather naive observations. When I first sprayed this perfume I was in love!! It reminded me of the 4711 Cologne that my grandmother used to use only with a powerful punch! Unfortunately on my skin I found that the dry down turned in to a lemon detergent smell which has given me quite a headache. It’s one of those smells where if I were driving it would be guaranteed to make me travel sick. I wanted to love it, I really did but I’m afraid I just can’t…
dolinskiy2 – :
Please try this one before buying. It didn’t work for me unfortunately.
The opening smells like starfruit. Very very fresh and bright. Made an excellent first impression on me. It later transformed into something funky and it didn’t work for me at all. I can’t even describe what I smelled.
In my opinion, for a neroli based fragrance, Tom Ford’s Neroli Portifono is better.
cxt814Diobtetty – :
Almost all Bond no 9 perfume remind me of another perfume. That one took me more time than usual but i finally find it : Agua de Pravia by Heno, minus the flower notes, but you get the same grassy lemon scent. Same projection, same longevity for 1/10 of the price.
filenkoden – :
Eau de New York is oh so beautiful. I first tried it as a smple and felt it did not have staying power, although it smelled wonderful. Months later I tried a spritz at my local Nordstrom. Wow! The sample was weak, but the bottle yielded long-lasting, yet subtle notes. The citrus is refreshing and the vetiver is complimentary. The aroma took me back to my first bottle of ‘perfume’ given to me by my grandmother when I was 8 years old, Max Factor brand Lemon Cologne. Utterly delightful!
sanyagtn – :
I loved this from the second I tried it at Saks. It stayed with me all day. It smells great mixed with Hermes Eau De Pamplemousse Rose, they’re fairly similiar… but beware, this will make some people sneeze.
andryxa2607 – :
I like the citrus notes in Eau de New York, but the veviter and basil, totally overtake the softer florals on my skin. This isn’t one I like on me at all. In my opinion this is a much more masculine fragrance.
Overall, definitely try before you spend the big bucks on this one.
oiegmoto7777 – :
Eh, I don’t think this smells really like love and luck. I get the citrus at the top, but the reason why i do not care for this fragrance that much is because I find it a little too floral. It smells too feminine on my skin. I get a lot of the grapefruit, but I would rather wear something like fahrenheit aqua to get a fresh grapefruit fix. that one has some more violet which I consider a masculine floral and some woody undertones. This is a nice fragrance, but I see it more for a woman than a man. Just my 2 cents
PSY2311 – :
I Liked it. But I wore it twice and I’m bored of it already. It smells floral and grassy. I don’t really see anyone complimenting me on this.
Grade C+
jhk73 – :
An Eau de Cologne that lasts? THERE IS A GOD!
Eau de New York, much like the equally good Eau de Guerlain, takes the classic Eau formula and gaves it amazing projection and lasting power – by adding elements such as wood, vetiver, and synthetic musk. There’s a very nicely done lemon note here, too. Overall, this is a green, balmy Eau de Cologne along the lines of Eau du Coq by Guerlain.
What’s even better is that there’s a dewy coumarin (newly mown hay) note in the drydown that lasts for hours. This stuff is so good it’s unbelievable. Definitely planning on getting a full bottle of this one.
bimbom – :
A nice, inoffensive, overpriced, summery grapefruit-and-herb scent…but I can’t think of any fragrance I’d associate less with NY! For me, this evokes fresh, forested mountain air and sea breezes…and if it were up to me (ha ha), it would be named Eau de Seattle! 😛
(I like Seattle, if that wasn’t clear, so don’t get offended, Seattlites. Or New Yorkers.)
tolayn – :
This is a nice fragrance, but after my second wear, I realized something. This, smells exactly like something else in the top. After rumbling my brain for about an hour, I ended up in Dillards, and walking pass the Ed Hardy line, I said yep, “Love and Luck”. Came home sprayed them both on my hand and sure nough, they are the same for the first 30 minutes.
However, Ed Hardy begins to transition at the 45 minute or so mark while Eau de New York continues with the vibrant citrus note. It is much brighter and much fresher at the top and the top sticks around longer. After about 2 hours the citrus begins to pull back and the florals kick it and here is where, if in a marathon, Bond begins to get a second wind and pull away. The middle of EDNY is a sweet floral citrus which is very appealing to my nose. Around hour 6 (yep it is still projecting) the musk kicks in while the floral takes a back seat but there is still some citrus lurking in the shadows.
For a citrus in that family this is ahead of the class by far; however, is it worth the extra $150 you will pay for it retail? Depends. I think a very good alternative to the basic nose and bargain fragrance lover, Ed Hardy works. The middle is different but the top and base are almost identical. Love and Luck is a bit more synthetic smelling but it isn’t bad. If you need a run of the mill citrus to fill the stock then go with Ed Hardy but if you only want one fragrance that is citrus then EDNY is the way to go.

This smells like bathroom or kitchen cleaner, really.
tools – :
Smells like every other citrus aromatic out there. Nothing special.
svlook – :
I’m beginning to detect a pattern here: Bond no 9 really knows what they’re doing when it comes to citrus. EAU DE NEW YORK, another beautiful edp in their line-up, opens with an array of high-quality citrus. Yum, yum, yum–no Lemon pledge here! The brisk and refreshing opening gives way to a lovely melange of light florals and dries down in a vetiver-rich woodiness.
This is a very pleasurable fragrance to wear, with unexpectedly good staying power and sillage for a citrus aromatic. I like this a lot–the perfect hot summer scent to lift one’s spirits fragrantly to the shimmering sunlit heavens. Is it earthshatteringly original? No. Do I *have* to have a bottle? No. Do I want one anyway? Yes!
Nody – :
Have tested this sample about 4 times over 2 days and I do not like it. I hate it on me, and doubt it would be any better on a man. The scent I smell is that of a spray I last smelled in a hospital, that was used to mask bad odors. It lasts about 2 hours on me and then, mercifly, fades away.
kiler48 – :
I wanted to give this fragrance a second chance since my first two tries back in May 2008.
I am so glad I did. Today in San Francisco the fog has rolled in and has not cleared yet. The chilled air, the salt water smell of the bay and the scent of Eau de New York has placed me in a relaxed and happy state of mind.
I am so enjoying this scent, the neroli and vetiver are the two dominant accords. I now can see myself adding this scent to my collection. It is a great scent for any climate.
Sometimes it is hard to live by your own words; “Give it (fragrance) several tries before making a quick judgment about it.”
ctymrj – :
MMMM! Loved this! Very citrusy! I’ll get this one for my citrus Bond scent. I wanted Little Italy, but that one didn’t turn out so well 🙁
norkTrown – :
Its going to be a hot day here in San Francisco and I had been mising using my body lotion from Bvlgari’s Petits et Mamans. I was in the mood to mix something up today. So, I decide to wear the last bit of the sample of Bond No. 9 Eau de New York. I was looking for a talc powder scent mixed with some citrus notes. I found it with this combinations.
Yuri_semko – :
I have tested this fragrance several time now and this is my thoughts on it: This fragrance open up with floral notes (jasmine and lily)on me, then it warms up to a tangy citrus (grapefruit and mandarin)notes. The final scent is a combinations of a musky scent mixed with undertones of woodsy notes. I would recommend this fragrance more for a woman.
ezq727elipseskism – :
I’m starting to realize that vetiver just isn’t my note! Especially when it’s mixed with a woody base. I like the top citrus notes in Eau de New York, but the veviter just totally overtakes them on my skin. Not one, I really care for on me. It does have unbelievable lasting power & sillage. This would smell better on a man in my opinion. I’d give it a 1 out of 5 stars. Not me at all.
