Madison Square Park Bond No 9 for women

Got a sample and tried it today. Something in it made me not like it. It is a nice scent but sweet and nostalgic... didn't make me all fuzzy and happy inside. Kinda like old snobbish lady smell for my nose. It did last aaaallll day, however, so I give it points for longevity.

Nice smell nonetheless, just didn't fit me or my personality.

By the way, some people mentioned it smells a little like Marc Jacobs Daisy and I can smell the resemblance at the end of the day but still think MJ Daisy is much better. Much fresher and happier.

this bottle looks kinda the same as snooki couture perfume!!!

i'm repeating what many have said, but it's almost a dead ringer for jo malone's nectarine blossom & honey, which is just over 100 USD for 100 ml instead of 260.

that said, i like this one much more. jo malone's is actually more complex ~ seems to have vetiver and something else in the drydown that really makes it pack a punch ~ but i like the light and airy fruitiness of madison square park. it's almost all peach on me ~ a strong one, at that ~ with light teak/cedar in the base and a whisper of berry-ish grass every so often. mostly, it's just peach, and it makes me happy.

you can get something similar (either the jo malone or even a VS or some other fruity edt etc) for much, much less. i do not think this is worth anything close to what they charge... but again, it's a very happy scent, and it's *VERY* well done. not unique, but very well done.

there's only good projection for the first 30-60 minutes, but it lingers for the whole day and smells great on your scarves and jackets long after the fact. but soft.

Ladies, set a date to check out this wonderful and unique fragrance from bond. I'm a guy and would love to smell this on a woman. It's an enchanting and lively happy time scent with spring written all over it. Juicy ripe peach, pink rose and fresh cut grass play the first act. As the show progresses, peach fades away just as blueberries strut onto the stage to mingle with the rose and tulips. Vetiver and woods are barely perceptible, each is cast as supporting actors allowing the stars of the show to shine. There's not much else I can say that has not already been said. Try it! You might just love it! Maybe your man will too!

MADISON SQUARE PARK by Bond No.9

Absolutely gorgeous breath of unique, fruity-green-clean Spring freshness on my skin. This opens with a rush of morning dew laden cut grass all swathed in lushly blossoming hyacinth and wildly rambling ripe blueberry bushes.

A few elegant climbing roses are interspersed judiciously throughout, and add a just touch of refined floral grace to the composition, while a subdued teakwood/vetiver base adds a clean and well healed chic to the grounding elements without weighing down the entire spirited affair!

This is a distinctive mix of joyous and celebratory Spring radiance that smells like nothing else out there on my skin! It is outrageously clean without being soapy or detergent-like. It is fruity without being overly sweet or cloying. It is a uniquely uplifting potion of down-to-earth delight that I completely enjoy reveling in! Altogether rapturously beautiful and somewhat addictive! I cannot stop sniffing my wrists when this is applied!

Totally full bottle worthy for me! And a big 100ml bottle at that!

(And there is no reason in the world to pay full price for this or anything else really.)

Cheers and thank you to the House of Bond No.9 for this sparkling stunner!

This is really nice and fresh. I've always have a hard time with Bond No 9's longevity. This doesn't seem to last that long. It's pleasent just not worth the money spent on it.

This is a pleasant grassy floral. It has an almost candy scent to it, which I normally wouldn't like but here it is fresh, light and kind of tangy. I like this, but if I'm going to spend over $200 I want to smell expensive. This doesn't. I think you could find something similar for a lot less money.

this is rather nice grassy floral that smells like you are taking a stroll through a garden. I was given a sample of this and unfortunately, its hardly lasts at all on me. If you are one of the fortunate ones who got a lasting power out of it, I am jealous.
I will say that so far, I have not sampled any fragrance in this line that was worth $250 to me. Neither is this one even though I think it smells nice.
I wish Daisy smelled like this this, I would have loved it but it doesn't even compare as its too sharp, and smells like floral candle.

Happy and optimistic is how I feel when I wear this. It is simple and straight-forward...green, floral, slightly citrus and a slight warmth upon dry down with my body chemistry. It's definitely a daytime scent. It's somewhat unique for a fruity-floral....not too sweet or cloying. Not worth buying at full price though. Long lasting and moderate sillage.

Pleasant, fresh and clean, but incredibly overpriced for what it is. I might as well just wear Daisy for a third of the price. Another that was shoved at me by an overly aggressive salesperson who thought she knew my taste better than I do.

After the reviews I decided to splurge & purchase Madison Square Park. MJ Daisy is one of my favorite perfumes & many said it reminded them of that fragrance so I had to have it. I must say the initial burst does have that Daisy scent but after a few minutes the scent changes on my skin. It reminds me of Daisy & SJP NYC mixed together & I love it!! It's crisp but not sharp. It's fresh but not soap or cleaner fresh. It's playful & bright. This is definitely a feminine scent. Some say the is a Spring scent but I'll be wearing this all year around. I'm so happy with my purchase & will definitely be getting a backup!!

Edit: As far as lasting power, it lasted all day on me. I know some people stated it didn't last but even when I couldn't smell it, at the end of my work day, when I walked past the security guard he stated I smelled wonderful.

Amazing! Never smelled anything like this before. Unique, feminine and sophisticated scent. Blueberries and grass dominate, though florals are there too. I wish it lasted longer, unfortunately, the longevity is quite poor for such an expensive perfume. However, I am going to buy a full bottle anyway. There is just no substitute for this perfume.

Edit: Unattractive bottle and horrible cheap bracelet that I will never wear. But scent is superb!

Edit: Lately I have been wearing more season appropriate scents and caught myself thinking I crave Madison Square Park. Thinking about buying a backup. It is addictive!

It's a lovely frgrance, I get a lot of berries and no grass at all, although I believe like, as with all Bonds, it's the mixture that keeps things together.

A harmonious chord of sweet and sour. Green, fresh, berries. A spring bouquet. Beautiful fragrance. Nice silage and unconquerably romantic.

My favorite Bond.

This would be nice for someone who likes to smell super clean and fresh. But frankly, the drydown on me smells a lot like those newer, supposedly better-smelling variations of Windex!

First of all, let me say I would NEVER spend $250 on this frag. BUT, since I got it free in their buy two get one free promo, I am happy that I have it. I really don't own anything like this at all, so it's a good addition to my collection.

It smells very fresh at first, almost a little fruity, citrusy, and then the dry down is very green, like grass with some woody hints. It's quite a fresh scent and I think it will be good for summer. I would kind of like to see it stay a little fruitier but I think I can probably layer it with something slightly fruity and get a really nice fresh summer thing going. What I like the most is that once it dries down, it stays green and fresh. All my other scents dry down to something warmer, more powdery, vanilla-y, woodsy, or something with patchouli, spice, etc but not this one. This one could really refresh you on a HOT summer day when other fragrances develop too heavily.
I smell NO blueberry, and the Bond No. 9 website lists the note as huckleberry, not blueberry, fyi. I don't know if they are considered the same or not.

EDIT- Sorry, I hate it now. I just do. I tried to like it but the grass note is just overwhelming and I couldn't stand it. I swapped it!

i just dislike it for the price and the scent you get for this. wow. im actually quite amazed.... i was really really looking foreward to trying this. fresh grass? blueberries? it sounded amazing to me... but wow, this is sooo ordinary and unspectacular!
i mean, yes, it really does smell just like a normal fresh perfume, like a really simple and easy one would smell like. i mean, yes, i do smell fresh grass, and its really intense, but it still smells so ordinary... just fresh, light, easygoing... everything you could get for about 200$ less.... seriously... please, people! before you buy this one! try others.. there are alot of better, much more interesting (also fresh, and easy and simple!) just.... really muuuch cheaper! actually it disgusts me how simple and boring this scent is and the price tag attached to it...

Bond no 9 MADISON SQUARE PARK is thankfully a lot better than MADISON SOIREE, which I find unwearable (to my nose MADISON SOIREE is a somewhat rank soap scent—could be a skin chemistry issue, then again maybe not...). In fact, MADISON SQUARE PARK is a completely different genre: a kind of crispy and sparkly citrusy-fruity-floral perfect for the spring weather which had finally made its way out to these parts at the time when it was launched.

The opening of this Bond offering smells to me a bit like a cross between HIGH LINE and Guerlain AQUA ALLEGORIA PAMPLELUNE. Although grapefruit is not listed among the official notes, I really do smell a dominant quasi-grapefruit zest note in the opening. This gives way shortly thereafter to a hyacinth and tart rhubarb-like composition. All in all, a generally refreshing and optimistic scent. Not sure that I'd want a full bottle of this one, but I'd definitely wear it in the springtime, if I happened to have some lying around. For now, I'll work my way through my purse spray and then see whether MADISON SQUARE PARK has become an acquired need...

Eclectic and challenging, is certainly a perfume designed to captivate to a wider audience than the "loyal" customers of the brand: a bottle striking (and so are others!), the bracelet "pop meets art déco" crowning and updating the aesthetics of the brand ... sharp but comfortable fruity-grass chord that separates this one from most of it’s predecessors of the house Bond 9.

Composition: more complex and strong in developing in comparision with other new releases of the last two years of the brand, green and fruity notes slowly give way to the profuse floral chords to intercede at the dry down whit woodsy and musk accord. Is clearly a fruity-floral to me.

The sillage is medium (test on your own skin), yet still captures attention on both woman and man surrounded or next to you.

-A winner.

Too poor lasting power.And too delicate and sheer as a scent.
Otherwise nice, somehow reminds me of Marc Jacobs Daisy plus some added berries on the top.Nothing unique so does not suit the price tag.

I don't know what I was expecting from Madison Square Park, but I must admit that I'd thought it'd be a lot softer and more floral.

First things first, this fragrance hates my skin chemistry, it turns this fragrance into a sour berries and off-juice nightmare that gives me a crazy headache. Thankfully on paper it smells a hell of a lot better.

The opening is rich blueberries, not unlike John Galliano's new fragrance Parlez-Moi d'Amour. It kind of smells a little bit like an Escada release as well, especially with all those berry top notes and fizzy peach.

As the fragrance settles, a sweet and freshly mowed lawn scent comes to the fore, with a hint of rose and tulip, like you'd expect to smell in a bouquet from your lover. Unfortunately I don't get this beautiful blend on my skin.

I noted that it was quite a strong fragrance with a heck of a lot of fruits and flowers. It's a little too much for my poor little nose, although I do seem to enjoy the fresh rose note drizzled with berry syrup. I do believe that if this was applied with a light hand, it could be so much more appealing.

While I don't dislike it, I'm not a fan either. It just doesn't suit my tastes, and has presented itself as not agreeing with my chemistry, which usually suits most fragrances. I think I prefer Bond No.9's darker, more masculine offerings, like West Side for example. Please do test this fragrance before you buy.

This is a bond that I like. It's a nice spring fruity floral. Unmistakable as a Bond scent.

When I think of Madison Square Park, I think of my favorite food stands. But so fortunately this fragrance doesn't smell like concrete, dirt, burger or hotdog. Instead, it is very nice and rich fresh fruity at first and fellowed closely by delicate floral notes. Yes, I get something like peach or/and melon but no berries! Then it becomes clean, refreshing, and delicious. The floral notes are gentle but quite green. The scent never gets powdery or too sweet. It's just fresh rich delicious scent. It fits perfectly along with High Line and Gramercy Park. It lasts forever as well, as all of Bond fragrances do. This is easily one of the few best spring/ summer scents of the year.

Testing, testing.
Now I have just applied and sniffed Madison Square Park, and find it typically bond-like. Which is a compliment to the perfume house.

Other than go into any particular notes, I find it refreshing, cool, strong, and chic. A nice Summer perfume, quite wearable in careful small amounts ... too much could be an overkill.

There is a crispness to it which would be appropriate in a business setting.

Romantic - I don't know. It is probably too light in character. Wear it in the afternoon, and switch to something heavier for night time.

Thumbs up !

It reminds me of a ripe apricot or peach in the beginning. Then it devellopes to something exciting, green and surprisingly enchanting. Like all Bond no. 9 its beautifully constructed for ones enjoyment. Its love and hate relationship with this one to me. I enjoy it but in limited amount.
