The Name's Bond

Not only do I LOVE the packaging of this new fragrance called High Line from Bond No.9, it's also a to-die-for scent: think Bergamot, Purple Love Grass, Indian Rhubarb, Red Leaf Rose, Tulips, Grape Hyacinth and Bur Oak... talk about exotic.

Bond No.9 is a brand that feels special to me because it evokes so many NYC memories - the whole premise of the brand is to evoke scents of Manhattan - uptown, downtown, east and west... and this one is no different. Its base notes combine bur oak, from the trees that thrives there, with imported sea moss, "to evoke the Hudson’s River proximity, along with musk and teakwood, to remind us that Bond No. 9 High Line is a metro-perfume".

Now, that does make sense.
