Lexington Avenue
7.7Bond No. 9 · 2008
Floral · Fruity · Sweet
Bond No. 9 Lexington Avenue is a sweet, gourmand scent built on roasted almond, crème brûlée and pink peony; it has been discontinued.
It opens with fennel, roasted almond and blue cypress, then the crème brûlée sweetness of the heart is softened by pink peony and pimento. Sandalwood and patchouli leave a woody, slightly powdery base. Floral, fruity and spicy accords sit around that gourmand core.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening or a night out; summer is rarely chosen. It is marketed as feminine, though a fair share of voters read it as masculine. Seven Veils and Jasmin de Nuit have a close profile.
