Elements Showcase presented extraordinary offerings by high-end fragrance companies. Bond No. 9 was just one of the luxury brands that were showcased at the exhibition. This year we have the pleasure to announce their brand new fragrance, which is coming out just in time for spring 2012. Following Central Park, Gramercy Park, Bryant Park, High Line, Washington Square, and Madison Square Park, the brand launches Central Park West, an eau de parfum that honors a legendary momentous address with a grand-scale front yard.

This is the seventh fragrance by Bond No. 9 inspired by New York’s city parks, their lush gardens and aromatic botanicals. Central Park West, an avenue that runs north-south in the New York City borough of Manhattan, also forms the western edge of Central Park. This is one of the rare places on earth where a modern street's buildings, tall and elegant, have such a magnificent front yard.


Central Park West, the fragrance, honors the splendor and largesse of the street. It opens with fresh breeze of spring—narcissus mingled with ylang ylang and a pinch of spicy pepper. Then comes an attractive bouquet of white petals—orris, jasmine, and linden—enclosing magnificent gardenia in the center. The composition rests on an enduring base of white oak and vetiver combined with sensual musk.
 

Top notes: narcissus, ylang ylang, black pepper
Mid notes: gardenia, jasmine, citrus-like linden, orris
Base: vetiver, musk, white oak, treemoss


The fragrance comes in a bottle that has been designed to capture the essence both of the area and the season. The pistachio-colored flacon is embellished with a classic but oversized houndstooth check pattern updated in purple. The neck of the bottle is adorned with an in-house creation: a detachable, double-row bracelet of pink beads with a big pink floral blossom. The flower can be worn on its own as a broch.
 

Central Park West by Bond No. 9 is available for purchase starting March 15, 2012. The fragrance will be sold at Bond No. 9’s six New York stores, Saks Fifth Avenue, and bondno9.com. Central Park West is available as 100 ml and 50 ml EDP priced at $250 and $180, respectively. The scent will be accompanied by perfumed body silk ($130), a candle ($110) and shower gel ($75).

This sounds very, very different from CENTRAL PARK, which is a bitter greens-linden blossom composition!

My interest is piqued above all by the narcissus, which I have not (to my knowledge) sniffed in any of the other Bond no 9 perfumes to date...
