So New York

Bond No. 9 · 2003

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Bond No. 9 So New York is a floral, sweet women's scent that suits the milder seasons and leisure or evening plans, with a fresh side and a gourmand one sitting together. It opens fruity and fresh with osmanthus, mirabelle plum and bergamot. In the heart, peony and lily of the valley carry the floral side, while espresso, milk and patchouli add a gourmand, spicy depth. The base of cocoa powder, tonka bean and precious woods settles into a sweet, woody, powdery finish. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, though some also find a masculine side. Roads Neon and Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani Night for Her have a close profile.

Coffee Cloud (Eau de Parfum)

6.4

Good Chemistry · 2023

Sweet · Synthetic · Gourmand

Eau de Parfum

Good Chemistry Coffee Cloud Eau de Parfum is a sweet, gourmand scent built on bergamot, espresso and cedarwood, positioned as a women's fragrance. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, and most voters score both low, so it suits those who want a light scent that stays close to the skin. The number of votes is small, so this is not a firm verdict. Value for money is rated high. Bergamot opens with a light freshness, espresso takes over in the heart, and cedarwood settles underneath as a dry, woody base. The sweet, gourmand character dominates, with spicy, powdery and creamy shades softening it and a synthetic sheen alongside. Jean & Len Bergamot Cedarwood Scent Experience and Yves Rocher Nuit Vanille have a close profile.

Vanilla Café (Eau de Parfum)

8.6

Bath & Body Works · 2025

Sweet · Gourmand · Creamy

Eau de Parfum

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Café Eau de Parfum is a sweet, creamy gourmand built around roasted hazelnut, espresso and vanilla, made for women. Vanilla Café wears with moderate longevity and moderate sillage. The vote count is small, so these ratings are a first impression rather than a firm verdict; the perfume is positioned as a women's fragrance. The notes have no top, heart and base split and read as one whole. Roasted hazelnut and espresso set the gourmand tone, while vanilla softens and sweetens it. The accords agree: a sweet, gourmand and creamy character dominates. Samar Buzzworthy and So...? So...? Vanilla have a close profile.
