Bond No.9 Madison Ave

Madison Ave mixes blackberry and apple with rose, then grounds it all with patchouli and praline.

Here’s how it moves:

1. Blackberry, apple and bergamot, bright and juicy.
2. Rose, magnolia and jasmine, a polished bouquet.
3. Patchouli, praline and ambroxan, earthy, sweet and warm.

The patchouli and praline pairing is what gives it depth. The sweetness is there, but the earthy note keeps it grown-up.

It’s a nice step up for someone who likes fruity florals but wants more richness. Shopping afternoons, dinners and evenings out all suit it.

Bottle sizes are 1.7 oz and 3.3 oz, Eau de Parfum.

A similar fruit, praline and patchouli mix appears in La Vie Est Belle. For a rosier Bond No.9, see Gold Coast. All Bond No.9 scents are here.
