I'll always have a special place in my heart for Bond No. 9 because all the scents are named after NYC neighborhoods, so no matter which one I spray myself with, I'm always reminded of home. (Plus, Fire Island is THE perfect summer scent). This season, they're introducing a recession-proof Holiday 2008 collection with all new, glamorous, NYC-inspired gift ideas. Your favorite city girl will want all of them! Here's what Bond No. 9 has to say about the collection:
All-Around-Town Pocket Sprays
For those who crave a
mini-miscellany of Bond No. 9 scents, we’re introducing a box of eight
pocket spray flacons, each containing a different New York neighborhood
eau, and each delectably twist-wrapped in our award-winning signature
foils. These are small enough to slip into an evening clutch bag, with
plenty of room to spare. Plus, they’re refillable. $130.
The Perfume “Token”
We’ve re-imagined Bond No. 9’s nostalgia-laden circular “token” as a solid-perfume compact, containing your choice of six of our most sought-after eaux de parfum. Stashed in its own perfect little white leather zipper case, it’s so street-smart it’ll glide through any turnstile. The compact’s refillable; the zipper case will lead a double life as a carry-case for rings, earrings, and lapel pins (with or without the American flag). Andy Warhol Union Square, Chelsea Flowers, Chinatown, Nuits de Noho, The Scent of Peace or Wall Street: $85.
The Soapbox
Dressed in our colorful signature foils that display delectable pleats and the Bond No. 9 NYC logo as a centerpiece, our guest soaps are clever “token” imposters that will have you wondering if they should be unwrapped at all? Nah, better to let the dinner guests go with unwashed hands. The soap boxes—displaying a field of Bond No. 9 “tokens” on an ivory background—are beguiling in their own right. A set of four (Chelsea Flowers, Chinatown, Eau de New York and The Scent of Peace): $95. A lone soap bar, available in six of our best-selling scents (the boxed foursome, Nuits de Noho and Wall Street): $35.
The Voyager Candles
We are justifiably praised for the fine-ness of our scented candles, which smell every bit as exquisite as our eaux de parfum. Now we’re introducing traveler candles, sized to stow in a suitcase. Think of them as ambiance-enhancing New York neighborhood souvenirs. A five-pack of our most popular scents (Chelsea Flowers, Chinatown, Eau de New York, Nuits de Noho and The Scent of Peace), each bearing the Bond No. 9 “token”: $95.
I totally have my eye on the Perfume "Token." How cute is it? Although the candles look fantastic, too. And the soaps would be perfect in a guest bathroom. Okay, fine, I want them all!!
