Bryant Park by Bond No 9

For: women Designer: Bond No 9 Olfactive Group: Chypre Floral

Bond No. 9 has devoted its 28th perfume to Bryant Park, the uptown part of New York where the Fashion Week takes place two times a year. This fragrance is mainly oriented and connected to fashion. The perfume is built on the harmony of rose and patchouli, spiced with pink pepper added to discord the composition. The main notes are lily of the valley, pink pepper and rhubarb in the top; rose and patchouli in the heart; and raspberry and amber in the base. The rhubarb brings in a fine tart note that contrasts the earthy note of patchouli. Together with pink pepper they create a fine balance to sweet and decadent raspberry and flowers. The perfume was created by Michel Almairac in 2007.

Bryant Park comes in 50ml at US$125 and 100ml bottle at US$185.

At first application: most noticeable notes are the raspberry and rhubarb. The spicy pink pepper shows through a bit. At this point, it is reminding me of a fruity shampoo that was on sale at the grocery which I bought to bathe my dog so he will smell "peachy" instead of "doggy".

A while later: still primarily sweet with a bit of a peppery note. A little, teensy bit of patchouli shows up in the drydown, but it is a minor player. I would describe it thusly: sweet, fresh, soft.

My overall reaction: meh

Could substitute for the fragrance they put in Garnier Fructis or Clairol Herbal Essence shampoos.

As a fragrance, does not stand out from the crowd of other fruity florals (the category where it belongs - I would argue it's NOT a chypre floral). I would not pay over $100 for this, it just isn't impressive enough.

Well, I may have to try this again, as my experience doesn't remotely match what other reviewers are saying here.It goes only my skin smelling sharp and chemical, like insect repellent and sweet flowers. Then it starts to change to a dusty green tea feeling with super sweet candied flowers, not bad, but a sharply sweet.I suspect that's the raspberry. After that, I get what smells remarkably like Lemon Verbena and then it fades really fast to almost nothing. It's not a heavy fragrance to start with, but after about an hour, there's almost nothing left.

I just received my Bond No 9 sampler packet today. Amongst the 3 was the Bryant Park that I requested. Whoa/WOW. The compostion is an absolute delight for me. I can see why those who love it love it so much and I'm perplexed as to why anyone wouldn't like it, unless they need a dirty, spicy rose. This is slightly creamy, fresh and pleasantly fruity. The raspberry, my favorite berry, is definitely present throughout the duration. The rhubarb is pretty evident here, as well. I can clearly recognize the notes in this composition - this is extremely clean-cut. I'm guessing that the pink pepper and patchouli keep this concoction from becoming too sweet and I'm beginning to become a huge fan of rose/patchouli combos. Ah, the rose is here, but it shares the spotlight on my skin.

If I had to compare this fragrance to anything, it would be the performers of the Cirque Du Soleil. While there is usually a particular performer that stands out to individual members in the audience, the whole cast is equally praised and exalted for such an extravagant show. Bond No 9 has managed to capture this in a bottle. I will be applauding with a purchase in the near future.

This is also my favourite among all the Bond No 9's, and I love it.

As F_A said, yes, it's really refereshing and sparkling.
On me, Bryant Park smells really linear, even though this could seem to be boring, but the perfume shines in a special way.

I get a lot of patchouli, which blended really well with the florals and fruits. So the earthy (even a little bit medicine-like) patchouli scent has been softened and the perfume gets a little bit femininer. There's no really distintive notes beside the patchouli, and everything's blended well like a piece of transparent art deco glass.

Some might feel Bryant park is still kinda too edge or too mausculine, but to me, I think it's just perfectly representing the indepandent woman who will wear it. Don't know why when I wear it, I can imagine the feeling of runway, the light, the make-ups, the fashion, the drinks and maybe the atmosphere there etc.

When you are wearing it, it's close to you, boosting your confidence as if you are standing under the spotlight; but to the others, it's nice, but in a sharp and a little distant way, as if it's saying "Don't mess with me'. it's definetely not the sweet seductive sexy kitten, but a grown-up proud wolf who knows what she wants.

Thanks to rebella I have a chance to try Bryant park. On my skin it smells like sweet, ripe, dark red cherries in the top notes, then the sweetness disappears leaving a scent of a sparkling refreshing cherry drink!

The lasting power is ok, could be better.
I would recommend Bryant park for everyone who's looking for cherry smelling fragrance.

Pretend it´s the hottest day in summer and you´re wandering around in a big, busy and quite unknown city with someone you care for, your partner, a close friend or maybe your mother. There´s a lot to look at, but you´re feeling hot, thirsty and a bit exhausted. The person you´re with takes you to a unknown bulding and tells you that he/she have a surprise for you. You enter the bulding and take the elevator to the top flore where it is the most amazing bar with posh atmosphere, aircondition and amazing, modern decoration. You sat down at a table and you order something to drink, the waiter suggest you to try The super sunny summer special-drink, and you both accept. After a while you´re served an amazing blend in beautiful big glasses. The drink is creamy redish pink and seems to be so delicious, cool and refreshing. You taste it and the most wonderful tastes of berries, a little rhubarb, exquisit liqeurs, some sissling champagne, vanilla ice cream and a lot of other really good but unknown ingredients. Bryant Park smells like that drink would taste. I think it must be a terrific summer frag. You feel fresh, cool and kind of poch when using Bryant Park, or at least I do.
