Bond No. 9 New York

Visited the Bond No. 9 flagship store, and Stefan was absolutely amazing! His knowledge of the fragrances and his genuine passion made the experience unforgettable. He helped me find the perfect scent and made the whole visit so enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by and asking for him!

This was an absolute dream to go shopping here. The atmosphere was so on point and so special. I felt like I was really being taken care of with such care and attention that was just beyond everything. I was able to shop with somebody who was so knowledgeable and so wonderful and who let me smell and test everything my little heart desired. This was such a magical shopping experience. Number nine is one of my favorite fragrances and I was so excited to visit the store. Not only is it beautiful outside, but it’s absolutely mesmerizing inside. This was a pure joy to visit and shop here.

The best customer service I've had in a long time. Robert was so attentive and knowledgeable about the product, and he spent a generous amount of time with my husband and I. We're so happy with our purchase and very happy with our decision to be a part of the Bond #9 fan base. Thank you so much, Robert.

I had an incredible experience shopping for perfume at the Bond NYC Flagship Store, thanks to Robert! He was knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about helping me find the perfect scent. Robert took the time to understand my preferences and guided me through their collection with thoughtful recommendations. His friendly demeanor and expertise made the entire experience so enjoyable. He even followed up with a thank you note and samples via postal. Thank you, Robert, for your outstanding service! Highly recommend!

Awesome location. I worked with Robert and he was the most talented fragrance expert. It made the experience so great! He was knowledgeable , not pushy, and informative. Absolute expert. 11/10 I would check this store out if you’re in the area and enjoy the best perfume on the market.

I didn’t get a chance to visit all the Bond No.9 boutiques in NYC like I had hoped, but I have to say—whoever is in charge of hiring sales associates at Bond No.9 is doing an absolutely AMAZING job. Between Artie (Bleecker) and Debbie (Madison), I was already impressed, but Stefans at this location took it to another level. He is truly a fragrance connoisseur with an incredible talent for explaining notes, crafting unique combinations, and showcasing an expert nose for scent. Some of the blends he created were things I could have never imagined, and I walked away feeling like I had genuinely learned something new. I deeply appreciate what this fragrance house is doing—each fragrance is so unique, and the variety is remarkable. But what truly sets Bond No.9 apart is the people working the floors. They are the heart of this brand, and they are the reason I will keep coming back. A huge thank you to Stefans for making our day—you are incredibly talented!

Robert is, without a doubt, the best Sales Associate I’ve ever encountered at a perfume store. He was patient, incredibly knowledgeable about all fragrances and notes, and made thoughtful recommendations based on my current collection. He ensured the entire experience was enjoyable and seamless. Since I was flying out soon, he went above and beyond to arrange the most efficient shipping method for my purchases, handling everything without a hitch. His warm personality and genuine compassion for others truly reflect the values Bond No. 9 seeks in an SA. Robert turned a simple shopping trip into an exceptional experience—I’ll definitely return because of him.

When I was having issues placing an online order, Robert went above and beyond to help me in Houston. Not only is he a professional and a joy to work with, he is incredibly personable and thoughtful. He answered all my questions and made fabulous recommendations to add to my Bond Collection. I can’t wait to visit the flagship store to thank him in person!

This is the second time my husband has given me this perfume, which I am in love with, and now I am going for Tribeca, my third love in aromas because the first one is my husband's aroma heheh

Loyal customer who no longer supports the brand due to failure to receive samples after waiting over 2 months & multiple emails. Will never purchase Bond No 9 again. Clearly, it's not the sample that is my issue. It is the lack of integrity & poor customer service.

Be aware do not fall into the trap of purchasing any club memberships or any "offers" provided by Bond No. 9. I made the mistake of purchasing twice a club membership. They give you 1 year to collect, God forbid you are not done with the previous bottles as it happened to me, you are told that you must collect the remaining bottles, a few months later when you open the bottle you discover it is empty. You call to advise them about it and you are treated by the store manager as if you are trying to scam them for another bottle, no matter what history of purchase you have had in their store. The store personnel pawns you off to customer service and customer service says they can't do anything as you purchase from the store. No a good way to build up loyalty Bond No. 9

horrible customer service. i tried to return a duplicate three bottle perfume set purchased for me as a gift for my birthday. my boyfriend had to purchase a duplicate set because their shipping wouldn't arrive in time for my birthday so he went in person, with the assurance from staff that he could return it. it was purchased late day April 27th and on May 15th we tried to return the set. I could not earlier as I had covid. it was on the 15th day and the manager would not accept the return and would not even do an exchange. horrible cust service for what pretends to be a high end shop. do not shop there. the perfume is poorly made and not up to the standards that I remember them beIng in the past. I will be dumping this product down the sink as it's left a bad taste all around.

Phenomenal scents, great help from Aziza! The offer perfume, candles, lotions etc. Great place for gifts.

I have worn Bond #9 for about 18 years now and have loved all the fragrances up until 3 years ago. They use to give samples freely but they ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT give out or mail anymore samples. The Bond counter staff now treat customers poorly until they realize the customer is going to make a purchase. Most importantly, they are now starting to sell expired or almost expired perfume bottles instead of trashing them or at least informing the customer of the expiration date and selling the bottle at a reduced price. The bottles use to last at least 3 years, now you are lucky if the bottle lasts 5-6 months. The last two bottles that I purchased, Scent of Peace turned rancid after 4 months and Tribeca turned rancid in 6 months..... This is absolutely ridiculous!!!!! Purchasing this perfume has turned into a money GRAB. The Bond Company and store locations are of no use if you reach out to them regarding spoiled fragrances. The company has taken a sharp spiral downward!!!!! I bought my fragrances during the time of a promotional and I have determined that it is during this time that they are pushing to get the expired and soon to expire products off the shelf....and to sell customers perfume bottles without a top screams financial problems. Beware!!!! The product, quality, and customer service is not the same. I have had 2 bottles of Chanel (Chance and Gabrielle) for 2 years and both bottles smell just as fresh as the first day I used them. I have never had a problem with any other perfume line spoiling within months of the purchase. All the money I have recently WASTED ON BOND!!!!

I visited the Bond No. 9 flagship store last week while visiting New York. My daughter who is currently residing in New York is a big fan of the products. It does not surprise me that after being assisted by Customer Specialist Ben La Madrid I left a huge fan with plenty of products to use. Ben was very welcoming and friendly from the time we walked into the store. Other Sales people there were less than friendly and never made eye contact with us. Ben was phenomenal at listening to the scents I like to wear and matching my interest with Bond No. 9 products that compliment my preferences. He was excellent at showing me how I can wear more than 1 scent at a time and how some scents work together to customize the fragrances I like. Visiting the store was one of the highlights of my visit to NYC and Ben was a significant part of that experience. My favorites were Greenwich village, The Dubai collection, Governor island, and the scent of peace. Thank you for providing excellent service and helping me to discover fragrances I never imagined existed.

We were staying at the standard and decided to walk into the Bond store. All I kept thinking In my head was that 2 chainz lyric. "Bond no 9 that's my favorite scent" The sales person Orlando was new but was amazing. He spent about an hour with us letting us try all the smells we want. We ended up buying 2 bottles and were about to buy 3 but he recommended joining the club which would make it cheaper and we did. The whole experience was amazing. And as soon as we got back home to ft Lauderdale we got this in our mail. This is how you get customers for life. Great experience.

I've always liked Bond fragrances & decided to go in the store during my break. At first I didn't think much of the sellers help but as I looked around she literally FOLLOWED me! I went left, then she went left. She told me prices of items I didn't even inquire about. She felt the need to watch me swatch lipsticks. So I wandered the store & went back to the lipsticks and OF COURSE she stood right there, leaning on the counter .. watching me. I felt so fucking uncomfortable! A black person can never actually say an act is racially motivated w/o people questioning what took place as if our experiences & words aren't valid enough. No one else in the store was followed/watched the way I was. I payed attn to make sure.

I'm sure they have great products as I had the pleasure to to own a fragrance or two, how ever the customer service Kelly Cullen provides is horrible, she refuses to communicate, refuses to return emails and phone calls no 9 is quick to charge your credit card when you place an order but where there service contract provider (ups) doesn't deliver or misplaces package that have "signed for" bins number nine decides to disappear shocked and appalled. I've also went as far as sending certified mail over night no one seems to open those either.. if this is how a company ask is it worth doing business with them ?

I went into this store for the first time and I had a wonderful experience Charlene and Jared were the best , they were so patient and super nice . They helped my friends as well and made our time there quite thee experience! I left Bond no 9 with a few bags and an experience that will last a lifetime ! I'll only shop when Charlene and Jared are working lol they were superb !! Thanks guys !

Came in last minute before my flight to ft lauderdale and I'm really happy with the service and products provided. Came in with my mind set on getting a 50 Ml bottle but was given a great deal on the 100 ml Bleecker st bottle and couldn't beat it. Gift for my dad and he loved it! Also was given several samples for my lady to try out she also loved them. Thank you guys again for everything! I will be back soon!!!!!!!!

We had a long day of shopping when we stopped into Bond No. 9. My gf has been a long time support of them. When I first saw her perfume bottle I was like wtf is that? Then she explained to me what it was and I had enjoyed her scent before not knowing what it was. So on our trip to NYC I figured a trip into the actual original store was worth checking out. When we stepped in we saw so many of the different bottles. Alexanolne, was quick to help us check out some of the different scents. We really enjoyed one of their new releases: Sag Harbor. I ended up purchasing the bottle for my gf. She threw in many samples and I actually fell in love with Wall Street. Hopefully I will get this for Christmas! *wink wink*

A sassy review for the most fabulous store in New York. The bitches who work here are fantastic and incredible, serving up exotic scents that will charm and delight, tease and be naughty. Sparge a little on and rule the sidewalk. You own it, baby. Nuits de Noho--spritz-spritz when you plan a little somethin-somethin. High Line--for when it's business very un-casual. Wall Street--ball-gag your banker beau and make him do what YOU say. Broadway Nite--tell him if he's good, you'll leave the restraints on. Now get your ass in the store, and learn the scents. Love the packaging. Conquer New York.

Bond No.9 has 3 different locations in NYC. I walked into the store @ 897 Madison Ave. Was welcomed by Teresa Celsa and she was absolutely perfect Non-discriminating, patient, honest, and well knowledged. She helped me smell my way through a wide arrange of selections and i was taken away maybe even a little over whelmed, but thanks to Teresa i was able to finalized my favirotes. For Men: Wall Street, Washington Square and The Bond No.9 Signature perfume For Women: Chinatown, Lexington Avenue and The Scent of Peace I personaly purchased Washington Square for me & Chinatown for my girl. I plan on going back and buying The Bond No.9 Signature Perfume its 30% Concentration but it's not too strong at all. As it fades away it only becomes so much more pleasing like being in Heaven

What a beautiful place this is. And Not just because of all the pretty girls that work here haha The inside is gorgeous and pristine: star-shaped bottles lined everywhere neatly and methodically, spacious and inviting they pull you in with lush carpets, every step is nice, comforting; crisp colors and sparkles everywhere adorn the inside of this illustrious NYC perfumery on Bond St! I only wanted a few samples to take home but Alicia was so accommodating and friendly; she gave me sprays of anything but also offered her own suggestions to my preferences and I was definitely blown away; she has a great nose. Very professional and always offered me the blue cup of coffee beans to cleanse my nasal palette in between Most of the ladies' offerings are floral-based, but they are all unique, and some of them are just divinely intoxicating. My favs: -Riverside Drive (Men) - fresh basil, green accord -New Harlem (Men) - pancake syrup, so sweet but couldn't stop smelling it! -Centerpiece (Women) - wow this was very nice, a great option for any lady who likes subtlety -Chelsea Flowers (Women) - flowers! -Amethyst (Men - Dubai Collection $550) - Whoa, this was special indeed -Scent of Peace (Men) - MMmm pineapple! Didn't buy anything sadly :( 1.7oz ~ $220!! :o But I did get a few samples to take home, Overall, a very enjoyable experience!

I love the store, in fact it's not that different from how the Creed Store use to look, which is either a good or bad thing. I really did feel like I was walking into the same store, which was a good for me. I wore the Jasmal from Creed, so when they offered me the Nuits de Noho, I was a happy girl. It wasn't as strong as Jasmal. but it was intoxicating. The staff and the ambiance were perfect for me, and so very New York.

This store was wonderful. Carnez was great and helped me find the perfect perfume based on the Bond perfumes I already had. I didn't have to spend a lot of time smelling different scents that were not close to what I preferred. The manager was also amazing. They honored the online special for Mother's Day even though I was shopping in store. I can't say enough great things about this store. The perfume is worth every penny you pay for it.

My absolute favorite perfume in the entire world is, unfortunately for my wallet, a Bond No 9 item and it is a risk buying it from other retailers, as the cost increases the chances of the stock staying longer on the shelves, and subsequently, being sold stale. This location is wonderful, full of charming sales staff, a welcoming environment, and the comfortable knowledge that all the items are in perfect olfactory condition. Staff is also generous with samples, no small thing at this price point. I've even thought of begging them never to change the formulation of my favorite, so sure am I of their sympathetic response :P

Just make sure don't purchase from sale associate Julia, her sale techniques are very dishonest and misleading. Purchase your fragrances at Madison location with Olga better. Olga looks up the best interests for you.

Bond. 9 is a perfume company that makes scents after each neighborhood in NYC. I am a big fan of their colognes, and they are a bit pricey, but well worth the money! What makes Bond 9 so great is that they use around 18-20% of pure parfum oil in their scents. Regular colognes you find at Sephora and Macys typically only have 6-8% perfume concentration, and they don't last very long. However, Bond 9 scents will truly last you throughout the entire day. They have unbelievable lasting power! My personal favorite scents are.. Eau De New York- A citrus cologne that instantly awakens your senses, There are notes of Neroli, Vetiver, Musk, and Jasmine. WestSide- A beautiful musky rose scent. There are notes of Amber, Rose, Vanilla, Nuits De Noho- A spicy evening fragraces. There are notes of Patchouli, Jasmine and Vanilla. New York Musk: Their newest scent and it smells like a Wall street man in a suit, it is very masculine and spicy. There are notes of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. The bottles are NOT cheap: a small bottle will cost you around $160.00 and a large around $220.00. However, they last forever, and a couple of sprays will last the entire day. They also sell Body creams in their scents and I use it in the morning during winter. It is made with rich silicone ingredients which instantly sink into your skin and absorb without any residue or sticky texture. The cream is so powerful, its almost a liquid lotion version of their wonderful fragrances. There are several Bond 9 Boutiques located in NYC, but outside of NYC they only sell Bond 9 at Saks Fifth Avenue Department Stores. While I have never been to a Bond 9 boutique, I am a huge fan of their fragrances and buy them frequently from Saks Fifth Avenue at South Coast Plaza and in Beverly Hills. I know dropping $115.00 on a body cream or $170.00 on a bottle of perfume is a bit pricey, but with Bond 9 the price is well worth it! Everywhere I go, I constantly get compliments on the scents I am wearing and I can detect them even when I am coming home from work in the evening. It's also great not smelling like every other guy who buys cologne from Sephora or Macys. If you don't live in NYC and can't visit the boutiques, you should go to your local Saks Fifth Avenue and check out their great scents!

The shop assistant's eyes said Get Out. The shop assistant's tone of voice said You Don't Belong Here. The shop assistant's body language said No Loitering. She moved into my personal space to push me through the store, her body blocking the scents, preventing me from lingering and sniffing. The Bleecker store may be smaller but the staff are friendly enough to actually give money to.

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love Bond No. 9's fragrances. My favorites are Nuits De NoHo, Silver Factory, and New Haarlem. The absolute best. However, the service there is not so good. I feel like if you don't go in there dressed to the 9's, they don't really care to talk to you. That is, until they realize that you might actually make a purchase. Then the entire outlook changes. That kind of sucks. I'm sure they have a few customers who try to come in only looking for free samples, but to treat everyone that way is not good. Also, once you purchase something from them, you become a "preferred member" or something like that. Which basically means they send you free samples in the mail and kiss your ass when you shop in the store. I mean, when you first walk in, they'll begrudgingly help you, and then you subtly drop your "preferred customer" status, and suddenly they'll be super exited to show you all the new fragrances that you'd probably like! They do know their fragrances though. Most employees there can give you the individual scents that blend together to make up every one of their fragrances. Which is very impressive. But unless you're planning on buying one of the super expensive (but worth it if you have the money) bottles, they won't really care about you that much. At least that's been my experience.

I love love love the Scent of Peace! I had 3 bottles of wine with my friend at DBGB yesterday, had more wine at Mercat, decided on some apps at BondSt and while walking (barely walking) I realized I need to replenish my Scent of Peace supply. I am so glad I did. I missed this scent! I am a big Jo Malone fan but if it weren't for Bond's price point, I'd most likely shop here more often. Then again, the price point is one of the factors why I cherish the visits to this store and walking out with a baggy filled with months of comments from cab drivers, friends, loved ones - all wanting to know what I'm wearing. SCENT OF PEACE! Again, having background in fragrance, it's so personal to choose scents for oneself. I don't believe in men's, women's, unisex, whatever. You need to try it, love it, never smell it on yourself. If you smell fragrance on yourself, it's not for you. I am not a huge fan of the store's layout, sometimes I find the sales associates pushy but then again, I'm pretty darn good on clarifying that I am doing great on my own and will ask questions when I have some. Shawn and Michelle were working there last night and both could not have been more helpful. Michelle played Lady Gaga's Monster for me (special request) and Shawn was uber generous with samples, which I tremendously appreciated. I love having some of these candy wrapped vials in my bags ready to take a sniff and transport myself to the morning when the day was just starting! Big thanks for helping my friend who came with me - she's on a hunt for a signature scent and I told her we should totally visit Bond No 9. She did get her husband a bottle of Wall Street - will he like it? I'll ask. My favorites are definitely Scent of Peace. I love Union Square as well. Used up a bottle of The Hamptons and it was OK. I am testing the sample vials of Success is a Job in NY (Andy Warhol series) and the new Bond No 9 Signature. I am ready for a new addition to my scent library. :)

*Subject*: Something Stinks at Bond No. 9 in the Meatpacking District Yes, Yes, Yes sadly it seems that I only take to the Yelping airwaves when I have experienced a sub-par product or felt the brunt end of bad service. But alas, free speech on the internet is the last refuge of the wronged-by-retail in our Gotham City. This review focuses on Bond No. 9 at 863 Washington Street in the Meatpacking district. I have no problem with the bond product (it is my favorite), but rather the service experienced at the Meatpacking location. The woman that worked there this late afternoon, early evening (white, seemed late 20's to 30's, ~5'5", light brown hair - working this Monday July 16, 2012) had such a palpable condescending tone and unwelcoming attitude (read: superiority complex) that I basically cut my shopping short in the store and felt the need to leave. Life is far too short to be 'talked down to' in a fragrance shop. This is not a problem endemic to the Bond 9 stores in NYC as the store in the West Village is very welcoming and attitude-free. I have been a customer of Bond for many years now, and this kind of service felt like an insult. Whether you have spent thousands at Bond (cough cough), or it is your first time in the store, a customer should be made to feel at home and welcomed. Sadly this is not the case with their Meatpacking location.

1) I love the Bond No. 9 perfumes. (Nuits de Noho... gorgeous) 2) I'm not afraid of spending money on perfume and would have bought one if I had been treated better. 3) The store is beautiful and the perfume bottles are elegantly displayed. 4) The shop keepers are incredibly patronizing and off-putting. I had to leave within 10 minutes of entering the store. Sad sad. At least they carry Bond No. 9 uptown at the department stores. I hope they read this.

I hate to be a stick in the mud about this place since everyone seems to love it. I'm a bit a fragrance hound, and have been wearing Creed Neroli Sauvage for years. While that scent has been somewhat inconsistent in recent years (bottles smell different from batch to batch), it still is by far my favorite. When this store switched from being a Creed store to Bond No. 9, I was willing to give it a chance. I tried several of their fragrances, Eau de New York, Central Park, and others that they swore would make me drop my Neroli Sauvage. I have to say, however, after thoroughly testing them and wearing them (not to mention spending buckets of cash in the process), I am completely underwhelmed by their fragrances. While intelligently constructed, they all seem to have this pungent, oily note that lingers after the other notes have dissipated and is too strong to begin with. Just my opinion, but to me this stuff is not worth the price. I'm stickin' with my Creed. It consistently gets compliments from the opposite sex, and what's better, not that many people wear it so I don't smell like every other guy that went into Sephora and pulled a bottle off the shelf. Discounts on Creed can be gotten online, too. :-)

In short: A fragrance specialist with a very strong array of well executed colognes and perfumes. On my two visits I received excellent, informative attention from the staff. The rest: I'm very choosy when it comes to colognes(self) and perfumes(gifts), but Bond No. 9 does have a solid stable of scents. A lot of them weren't for me, but most were very well done and communicated the "idea" or intended scent behind them well ex: Cherry Blossom name DID equal Cherry blossom to my brain. I had time to spare and sampled quite a few, and luckily enough two stood out to me. I took a "trial vial" of each cologne that piqued my interest and one of them evoked a "WHAT is that? You smell delicious!". Everyone is different, and a scent will smell different on every person, so if you are going to check this place out, take your time. A little spendy? Yes. However you must think of a scent as your personal signature, and as such, a wise investment. If you are short on time, try Bleecker St. or the Saks Fth Ave special. (About my tastes: I like one from Hermes and one from Tom Ford, and 98% of the time a given cologne/perfume will smell "lame" to me. For women, try Un Jardin sur le Nil by Hermes.)

I hate florals with a passion. Those sweet, sticky, flowery scents are just too damned cloying to me, plus they always morph into the scent of cheap air freshener when I wear them (must be my body chemistry.) But yet, every friggin' perfume nazi at Sephora/Macy's/Bloomies is always trying to make me smell like a 'Spring Breeze, after the rain' because I'm female. (I'll pass, thank you very much.) Woodsy scents, like pachouli, amber, and sandalwood are more of my thing, yet I can only find those notes in men's cologne. Enter Bond No 9. Through the magic of a brilliant sales associate, I was handed a cup of yummy tea and introduced to my current obsessions; Hamptons (which is my everyday scent, with clean notes of lime, sandalwood, and beachy-goodness) and West-Side (my come-hither date-nite scent, with elements of rose, amber, and vanilla.) Though I forget his name (tall, blond, blue eyed, slightly annoyed by my torrent of questions) he listened to my 'anti-florals' rant, and suggested several alternatives that I did enjoy. Though they're not cheap (small bottles are $120-130, and large bottles start at $175) because the perfumes are made with 18-22 percent essential oils, the scents will stick around much longer than that bottle of JLO Glow you've been reapplying ever 15 minutes. My suggestion; take a Sunday, pay a visit to Bond no 9, and if you fall in love with a scent, but aren't ready to make the full commitment, buy one of the Bon-Bon's, which are a travel-sized version of the scents.

This is a high-end perfume shop with candles and body products. From being a non-perfume aficionado's point of view, this store is luxurious and the products look artistic in their designs. The SA helped me to pick a few scents that're popular in the store, but I didn't feel any enthusiasm or real help from her. The perfume and candles smell nice, but nothing really hit the spot. It also didn't help when I asked for the price tag, which was $98 for the candles and over $100 for the body butter. I can't help but wonder if the SA thinks I don't look or dress like someone who would spend that kind of money on their products (even though I do when there is a good SA convincing me how awesome their products are). Or perhaps, the SA thinks Bond No. 9 is already famous like Chanel No. 5 that it doesn't require any explanation. Will recommend the store to my perfume-loving friends. It's not for me, even though part of me was hoping to learn why Bond No.9 is special.

I wrestled with letting this secret out, but I just love Yelp too much to keep it to myself anymore. It's places like these that make me love New York. Bond No. 9, so called for the address of its flagship boutique, is an amazing and unique line of men's and women's fragrences named for neighborhoods and places in New York. There's "Chelsea Flowers," "Chinatown," "Little Italy," "Wall Street," etc., and each one is totally amazing. I wear "Nouveau Bowery," but I'm also partial to "Riverside Drive" and "Bleeker St." They're all so interesting and innovative, but unfortunately VERY expensive. I bought a small bottle last year at Saks with a gift certificate, and I'm still only half way through it. It's wonderful stuff. Go check it out! They also have boutiques on Madison Ave in the 70's and on Bleeker.

I'm a big fan of the Bond line of fragrances. I don't think men have a great selection of colognes that are readily available. Sure, you can go on line & pick up something so obscure so you can stand out but I like Bond (my favorite right now is Central Park) because the dry down changes nicely, at least on my skin it does. I admit I like a few from Creed as well but I think I'd still stick to Bond. Plus when you invest in something that's a little more pricier to get you're not going to end up smelling like the 21 yr old coming out of Sutra or Goat Hill Tavern. I'll let them buy the Macy's Diesel or Cool Water colognes which ALL smell ALIKE!

Seriously in the market to restore the glory of my soft hands, I walked into Bond No. 9. I love the lay-out of the store and the fact that the stool have backrests with the image of Marilyn Monroe. :) The sales staff were very attentive and solicitous and I tried about three (3) hand creams of which Noho Nuits seemed the best. It was very fragrant but in the end, the scent just proved too overpowering for me especially since I favor subtle scents. It seemed like I was physically in Noho but Astoria can actually smell me. :)

Lovely store with a helpful staff very knowledgeable of their product, and when it comes to their scents, the varieties are numerous! The fragrances are unique & fun. I actually discovered Bond No. 9 at a boutique in the Philli burbs, but stopped by their flagship store @ 9 Bond St to have access to their entire line after my mom mentioned wanting a citrusy perfume. The sales associates quickly collected any citrusy scents, and I decided on Little Italy (with Neaveau Bowery in close second). As I rung out, they added me to their mailing list & took my preferences for scents & which of theirs I liked & disliked (they did not want want to send me samples of smells that weren't my taste!) My personal favorite is Nuits de Noho. The one drawback to the boutique (and you really can't even call it a drawback, its to be expected) is how heavily I was assaulted by every scent they carry the instant I walked in the door. I spent as little time inside as possible, but left with a headache nonetheless.

This place is awesome!!! Called ahead of time and spoke to Michelle. She made sure that my Cologne was in stock. It was ready to go when I got there. She is awesome!! Give that girl a raise!!!

I became a huge fan of Bond No 9 thanks to their amazing fragrances and the awesome service I received at this shop. This is the kind of place that normally sees my girlfriend and figures they shouldn't waste their time with me. Maybe the sales guy thought my old Led Zeppelin shirt was becoming or he saw through my summer comfort clothing and immediately helped me focus in on some of their colognes (without being asked!) while also helping my girlfriend with every single question and request she had. Also, since we were visiting from another state, he shipped the products we bought for free and didn't charge us sales tax. Ever since then, I shop Bond No 9 first when I want to smell purdy. On cold San Francisco days (every day apart from October) it's Chez Bond. Warmer days call for Wall Street. But that's just me. I would never buy any scent without trying it on as many scents either fade super fast or wind up smelling very very wrong on my skin. I'm probably not the type to order samples on line either so going to the shop was the way to go. I love this shop. The decor is really cool, the space is, well, spacious and they have some cool decorative pieces to look at. It's worth it to drop in and just look around. Incidentally, the underwhelming UES store did not appreciate my summer comfort ensemble (same Led Zeppelin t-shirt) apparently as the two times I've been there the sales person at the time seemed annoyed that I was in their tiny shop. What I love about Bond fragrances is that they are unique, complex and high quality. Two sprays an arm's length away will last all day. They definitely have more women's then men's fragrances and I know my girlfriend likes to blend them and I will say she smells fabulous. While I first balked at paying $240 for a bottle of smelly water, I very quickly changed my tune and now call it a bargain (ok, sure, it's probably a 2000% mark up from cost but that's the beauty biz). A 3.3oz bottle will last a couple years of daily use (and is good for 4 years). Bargain.

Love the product and scenery, but this location is not very welcoming. My partner received better service at the meatpacking location.

Thankfully the scents are not true to their namesakes in an olfactory way -- Chinatown? Wall Street? I think Wall Street smells like hot dogs and tourists, and sometimes like smugness. In any case, the staff at the Bond St. store are lovely and helpful. It's nice just to pop in and buy a $40 bon bon spray.

I spray Nuits de NoHo on my neck and I smell so good I almost can't take it :P This is definitely a fancy pants store, and the employees certainly act like it, but they don't make me feel like some sort of inferior species while doing so. Cool :) If I had a lot more money I'd own a lot more fragrances from Bond #9. In the meantime, it'll be me, les nuits de noho and the liberal amount of samples they gave me.

Great service! Sooooo many scents... it can actually be overwhelming if you aren't careful. Mariela was great. Made great suggestions and offered great samples. Even mailed me samples home after getting an idea of my what I may/may not like. Everything she scent, I love! Currently hooked on The Scent of Peace and High Line.

I'm a "Wall Street" woman who also loves "New York". I haven't been to the store, but discovered the "candies" in a gift bag. In San Francisco, we can find Bond at Sacks...so off I went and oh was I in for a treat. I had no idea. After using the candy selection to test each frangrance over a month I've found the two for me. What I didn't realize is that they are unisex with more masculine "Harlem" and more feminine "Chelsea Flowers". "Little Italy" smells like oranges and "Chinatown" like face powder. Not bad or good just different. There's a flavor for everyone. It's just a genius idea!

Unique scents for the eccentric personality type. Very nice friendly staff. Love them

I love Bond No. 9 scents, just because they are so unique and there is a lot of variety. Seriously something for everybody. I love the concept of naming them after different New York neighborhoods, and the packaging has a very creative design concept. I had a great experience with the service here. I forget the employee's name, but she was patient, listened to what I liked, and made good suggestions. After my purchase, I received packages in the mail with free samples. This is a great idea, as it is fun to get packages, and it's a smart way to market the new fragrances. I can't see going anywhere else.

Chances are, if you go to Bond No. 9, you will smell a lot of nice fragrances and find something you like. The bottled scents are named after neighborhoods in New York. It's a bit gimmicky and I've got to wonder how they assigned smells to neighborhoods. My issue with Bond is that nothing there is really that original and the smells are all very ho-hum. I have yet to buy anything here because I have yet to find anything I love... or hate for that matter. There are plenty of perfume shops in NYC that will challenge and reward your nose. This not quite one of them. That said, you can find nice perfume here. If you want exquisite, look elsewhere.

After sampling 3 different bon bons (all of their perfume samples are packaged in different colored foil wrap), I decided to purchase The Scent of Peace. I couldn't decide which scent I wanted (they all smell incredibly good), but I figured their best seller was a good place to start. After buying my first bottle, I joined their "fragrance club" and have received two large samples - Andy Warhol and Coney Island. None of them smell as good as The Scent of Peace (or Bryant Park), but I really like the program because I can always go online and trade with another Bond enthusiast. If you go to Saks to recycle your empty perfume bottle, they give you a purse size atomizer (with another purchase of your favorite Bond perfume!)

I love love Bond No.9!! I haven't even been inside the store, although I always pass by the store [I work close by].... Top 5 Faves: Andy Warhol Union Square [very sexy] Scent of Peace [it's soo ME] Fire Island [a little bit masculine :p] Hamptons [kind of high end and more mature in terms of scent] Andy Warhol Union Square :)) [this is LOVE] You must find a way to stop by Bond No.9 and at least get soome samples. You'd definitely comeback.

Sometimes things happen for the best. I was devastated when Bond left Nordstrom. It was my favorite perfume line and living in Minnesota, the only store that carried it. When I needed to replace a scent, I called the customer service number and spoke to Maxim. WOW! Did I luck out. Not only was he knowledgeable and very personably, but he actually made me feel as if we knew each other for years and I had been coming in to the store for all the years - felt like his best customer. That is not easy to do on a phone call. He follows up on all my orders to make sure I am happy and always sends samples and cards to let me know when new scents are coming. I feel like I get better service now then I did at Nordstrom. I highly recommend you ask for Maxim next time you need one of their products. You are amazing,Max. Thank you!!! Joan Bradley

I learned about Bond9 from a briefly run magazine called Cargo. This must've been 2005 or so. The write up about it sounded amazing but I never figured I'd have access to it living in Atlanta at the time. Fast forward to Black Friday 2009 and my wife and I just so happen to find ourselves at Saks 5th in Atlanta where we found out that Bond was offered through them. My first purchase was a candle (I think it was West Side) and a standard bottle of New Harlem. It took me no time at all to realize that I was never going to wear any of my other name brand scents again. Fast forward to today, I haven't had a ton of Bond fragrances or candles simply because I don't have a million dollars to buy them all, but I can say that the only fragrances & candles that I've had for the last 10 years have been Bond No. 9. Two years ago, I was able to fly to NYC and go to the flagship store. It was a dream come true for me. I have been a fan since 2005 and I'm so happy to see this brand thriving. I can't wait to check out Greenwich Village.

Eau-de-mmmmmmmmmmm. Bond No. 9 smells lovely. I walked in and immediately wanted to close my eyes and imagine myself on a bed of flowers, or maybe sitting on a cloud, or even snuggled up close to someone's neck. Bond No. 9 has that effect on you. With all of their many scents, not one over powered one another. It was refreshing, classy, and sexy. The store was spacious, light and airy. And gosh, those little star shaped bottles. They are almost too cute to leave behind. I wasn't in the position to buy but my friend was and she knew exactly what she wanted. The sales people were extremely nice and friendly, not snobbish at all, a character trait that could have easily been the thickness of air in a place like this. The cool Warhol branding and NYC nods are nothing compared to what's inside the bottles. The scents are key here and everything else is icing on the cake. Did I mention that they give out samples by the handful? And if you put yourself on their preferred mailing list, they will send you some periodically? How's that for some extra sugar? Pretty sweet, I say.
