The secret is out: Manhattans most exclusive - and elusive - enclave, in luxurious scent form. Home to artists, royalty, heiresses and diplomats, this quaint span of two blocks near the East River is tucked on the edge of Turtle Bay in midtown Manhattan, making it perhaps the citys most exclusive and desirable neighborhood
In an industry that has long been dominated by men, Bond No.9 is the first New York parfumerie to be headed by a woman—the founder and CEO, Laurice Rahmé, who oversees every aspect of Bond No. 9--from creating the New York-centric concept behind their eau de parfum collection, to guiding the development of each fragrance and bottle design, to designing the interior of each Bond No. 9 boutique. Beyond a brand, Ms. Rahmé has made Bond No. 9 a singular force to be reckoned with in the world of luxury goods.
After all, while perfumery has always been about head-turning, Bond No. 9 has turned perfumes on their head. Their scent collection is the first to pay homage to a great city: New York, their beloved, always inspiring home town. And while they were at it, they gave their scents a dual mission: to restore artistry to perfumery, and to honor their bedazzlingly multifarious city by giving every New York neighborhood a scent of its own.
