Lafayette St.

Lafayette Street by Bond No 9 – launched in 2018, this one’s a smooth, slightly sweet, and fresh fragrance that works for both guys and gals. The opening is fresh and clean—bergamot, coriander, and a soft floral touch that’s like a confident handshake in the lobby of a fancy hotel. The heart leans into a smooth blend of apple, ambroxan, and vanilla—giving it a sweet, slightly fruity vibe with a little musky-woody warmth in the background. It’s sweet, but not in a candy-store way—more like the warmth of a late afternoon in the city. The base is where it stays grounded—tonka bean, ambergris, and woodsy notes give it a warm, cozy finish that makes it feel polished, but still approachable.
