Bleecker Street Bejeweled
The choice this holiday for our annual “Swarovski treatment” is Bleecker Street (a gourmand oriental mingling of patchouli, cassis, caramel, woods, and musk). The limited-edition 100ml lime green-chartreuse-amethyst-gold starburst watercolor flacon is studded, back and front, with a checkerboard pattern of matching crystals—and for good measure, an extra-large crystal front and center. $395.
The Swarovski All-Stars
But why stop at one new Swarovski-enhanced flacon? We’ve gone overboard and embellished three more of our most coveted scents with the tiniest and most reflective of all the Swarovski stones—five thousand of them per 50ml bottle. The pearlized milk glass Eau de New York bottle (citruses-cyclamen-jasmine-vetiver) is studded with diamond-colored aurora borealis stones. Chelsea Flowers (peonies-magnolia-rose) is decked with emerald-colored stones. Chinatown (peach-gardenia-tuberose-sandalwood) features ruby-colored stones. $650.
The Crystallized Amphora
We’ve saved the show-stopper for last: Our outsized 42 oz amphora vitrine, breathtakingly covered with 16,500 hand-applied platinum Swarovski stones. Not to forget the bottle top—an elliptical mirror with honeycomb base. And while we were at it, we added the Bond No. 9 signature and a handy golden spigot. Contents? Your choice among our 32 scents. This bedazzlement comes in a white patent leather gift case, also adorned with crystals. $3,500.
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.
New York’s Bright Lights, To Go—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.
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.
Holiday ‘08 at Bond No. 9
Bond No 9 goes from understated and recession-proof (think two figures) to shamelessly luxurious (four figures)
