New Haarlem by Bond No 9

On me this smells like Salvador Dali Laguna with added coffee. Love it :)

This starts as a lovely resinous scent with woody patchouli toned down with coffee. I don't care for patchouli as a general rule, but here it is subtle and lays under the coffee in a more woody aspect, almost like the patchouli leaf when it's pulled right off the plant and crushed between the fingers. There's an almost chocolate feeling to fresh patchouli that is miles away from the oily hippy type we are used to smelling. As this scent mellows, I detect hints of vanilla and lavender but those fade into more of a feeling than a presence, like a breath of vanilla, a ghost of lavender. The overall dry down is warm and sweet, without being cloying or candy-like and the coffee remains clear, never going murky or milky. It's a lovely scent but definitely not your run of the mill fragrance. It belongs to a specific personality, an attitude. I'll retest in winter, but I imagine it's a knock-out in the colder months, too.

I should have loved it because it sounded delightful but it just didn't work for me.

Didn't strike me particularly the first time I wore it, but I had read positive things about it (including a mention in an article in Time magazine), so I didn't give up. Now I find I'm liking it more and more,it's got that bit of skank that I love, and a total stranger standing behind me in line told me how great I smelled. A winner.

Coffe, vanilla, lavender and patchouli! This fragrance is HOT, it is like pure gold. It is not that sweet as it sounds. The coffee is dark and the vanilla is creamy. New Haarlem is rich and long lasting with subtle sillage. Now this is my favorite fragrance.

I go weak at the knees for fragrances with coffee ... and New Haarlem is a GREAT coffee fragrance. It's rich and dark, balanced just right with a touch of sweet vanilla and spice. I couldn't stop myself from sniffing my arm every few minutes, which would have been okay except that I was still in the store and, well, it just looks...strange.

I want it ... I WANT IT... and if I didn't already have some Jo Malone Black Vetiver Cafe waiting for me at home, I would have taken possession of a bottle right then.

I got a sample of this today and it smells like French Toast! I only put a dab of the sample on and it's STILL there. It still feels like I just sprayed it on. I really like this :)

Marvellous, jummy coffee scent. One of the most longlasting among the Bond No 9 that I´ve tried.

Works really good on both men and women. It´s strong, heady and will get noticed. This isn´t any bland coffee, no this is strong, black and energising. When I wear it I feel both comfy and uplifted. Maybe it´s the combo lavender/coffee that makes it? A lot of perfumes with coffee notes disapears on me after less than half an hour, but this don´t.

I like it a lot, but not really love, since I don´t feel like smelling coffee so often.

But indeed a must try for coffee lovers!

This has been my HG Coffee scent from first sniff! I have a small decant and love it more each time I wear it. Creamy coffee goodness with luscious hints of Lavender. For me, this scent conjures images of inhaling that first cup of steaming creamed coffee after spending the night before in a smokey, whiskey laced Blues Club....and yes, I am still wearing the clothes from the night before because I haven't been to bed yet!

This is a beautiful Rich Creamy goddess of a scent. Warm like a cup of coffee with loads of tonka bean on my skin. Spice is just right. Could wear this with no problems. Love it, need to get a bottle soon! Very Rich in deed and I love how unique it is..

It was a cold morning when I was trying to decide what fragrance to wear. I was off to a dental appointment and wanted something comforting and soothing.

New Haarlem is a great EdP for a cold day. It cuddles you with soothing notes of vanilla, coffee and patchouli. I have been enjoying my morning(even after my dental appointment) smelling my wrist while sipping my latte. They both go well together.

In warm weather, just use one spray. Otherwise it can be a little overpowering.

I loved this one when I smelled it in the store, but when I tried it on my skin it smelled like my grandfather. It smells to old and masculine for me.

This is a very nice fragrance!!!!
the Vanilla really compliments the coffee and patchoulli.
This is what a-men would like to be when it grows up. Sophisticated and smooth.

moreda

Hmmmmm an odd scent.
it remainds me of A-man but this is the refinde and rich version. First thing appealed to me was the simmelarety to Arabian woods and incens. it smells really arabian to my arabian nose :)

I am happy to say that this one is not orintal like somany western orintals. Thumps up.

As with most Bond fragrances, they keep surprising me with different notes each time I wear them.

At first, I thought this was too sweet and come on strong.

Other times, I mixed this scent with other fragrances from my collection. I enjoyed adding "something new (New Haarlem) to an existing scent."

This scent today smells like I am seating in a cafe drinking a vanilla latte after having picked some fresh lavender.

I have added this scent to my "I Want" list.

The first time I tried this fragrance, I thought it was too sweet. The coffee, vanilla and patchouli came on strong at first.

I have only tested this and do not own it. If purchased, I would use this to blend with others in my collection.
