Citrus-Floral-Vetiver Refreshment!

I acquired a bottle of EAU DE NEW YORK after having sampled a vial more than a year ago, and I am happy to have done so. This is another example of a Bond no 9 creation that I only wear in hot weather and don't even really like once it gets cold (same story as CENTRAL PARK for me...). But I love this crisp citrus-floral-vetiver come summertime!

I do not find EAU DE NEW YORK soapy, although it really is very clean. Yet it is not a straightforward citrus cologne, as some might surmise from the top notes. I do aver that it bears similarities to other fragrances, including Banana Republic W, which costs about 1/10th the price. However, EAU DE NEW YORK is definitely richer to my nose, and has much better longevity.

Upon spritzing this composition on, I immediately experience a rush of citrus-woodiness, but it is much more about petit grain than juicy citrus (grapefruit and mandarin). The basil and verbena contribute a lot here too, and the vetiver is detectable as well. Neroli and lily are also key. All in all, a scrumptious array of notes woven together into a seamless tapestry of scent. I like it a lot and do not consider it overly masculine at all, as some reviewers have suggested.

Refreshing!

Jiddu Krishnamurti emphasized .. .. ..

.. .. .. in his lectures and books that one should ALWAYS form their own opinion and never just adopt the opinions of others. He is of course right with this statement .. but convenience and other reasons sometimes prevent that.

So it was with me: Lacking the opportunity to test, I adopted the opinions expressed here about this fragrance 1:1 and did not pay further attention to it, as I do not particularly like 4711 and fragrances with a strong neroli note anyway.
A mistake, as it turns out, because I perceive Eau de New York completely differently. The tokens on the bottle with the names of various fragrances made me suspicious and led me to the idea that EdNY was meant to be a freshly laid conglomerate of several Bond°9 fragrances, thus a corporate identity scent.

It has been written here about similarities to 4711, wondering why Vera Vanore did not notice the similarity herself, and EdNY has been referred to as a copy of the German original 4711.
Sorry, I can't agree with that - even taking into account different manifestations of fragrances on the skin - for me, EdNY is a fresh green aquatic with only slight traces of neroli.

After a hesperidic cologne start - which only very distantly resembles 4711 - it quickly transitions to the flowers and herbs mentioned in the pyramid. By now, my suspicion of the fragrance conglomerate was confirmed. It smells similar to Green Irish Tweed or a mix of the Bond°9 fragrances Chez Bond (soapy-sweet) and Riverside Drive (herbaceous), which, according to the consensus of American YouTube reviewers, both represent an Americanized version of GIT. In the base note, the usual notes for men's fragrances follow: oak moss, vetiver, and musk, which give the scent a classic-elegant finish.

One must say clearly, however, that this fragrance has a somewhat synthetic quality, but this synthetics surely also has something to do with the long-lasting presence on the skin. This does not bother me in this and in some other Bond°9 fragrances at all; rather, it distinguishes them positively or negatively from comparable scents, depending on one's perspective.

I do not wish to elaborate further on the ambitious pricing and the sometimes somewhat unfortunate comments resulting from the mixing of price/fragrance (-quality). Tip: The fragrances are now often available online at well-known retailers for significantly more moderate prices.

I am certainly happy to enjoy this wonderful fragrance through a blind purchase.

For whom:
Free spirits and lovers of herb-fresh aquatic scents

When:
In a positive sense, an all-rounder

Longevity and sillage:
For a citrus-green scent, good .. 10 hours ++ are easily achievable and the sillage is consistently well noticeable .. EdNY is clearly above the performance of GIT and especially that of 4711.

Note 1:
Anyone looking for a well-lasting summer fragrance can also consider Eau de New York in their considerations.

Note 2:
Also well suited for sports .. much better than some fragrances with 'Sport' in the name!

The Fine Line Between 4711 and Super Cool?!

I became aware of this Bond fragrance through some positive YouTube reviews, so I quickly added it to my Harry's perfume sample order. Five 1 ml samples for €15 is absolutely nothing to complain about. And hardly anything is more important in our hobby than testing fragrances that appeal to us and spark our curiosity. Perhaps they should also write down 1-2 extra perfume names on this site, as otherwise, when a fragrance is sold out, similar ones are simply substituted. For me, Brooklyn was swapped for Manhattan, which I could live with since the scent is good and I didn't know it yet. But of course, I could have been unlucky too.

Eau de New York is an absolute summer fragrance in the 4711 style. 4711 in luxurious modernity and coolness. Lemon and a lot of neroli remind me of the Cologne Omiduft, but they turn its reputation and character around 180 degrees in a subtle way. What a fantastic scent for the hot days of the year, for leisure and office, for men and women. Ice cold it would definitely be even better. It is also somewhat floral, green, and woody, but the certain twist is achieved with the creaminess and lightness of the spices. Classic interpreted by the synthetic Bond guys - hats off!

Bottle: the perfect luxury gift from THE city of all time.
Sillage: summery, light, universal, versatile, refreshingly zesty.
Longevity: an incredible 10 hours is a revelation for this type of fragrance.

The best Bond summer scent, and especially for all the Bond haters and also 4711 haters: please test and be amazed!

I have never been to New York ...

.... I would like to sing a duet with Udo Jürgens - because that's a fact.

My girlfriend is a New Yorker, and I would have free accommodation and meals - and a knowledgeable tour guide for free.
No, I dread the long flight - so my girlfriend has to squeeze into economy class and admire the beauties of the Ruhr area with me, which she does with genuine enthusiasm.

However, she swears to me that I would also like her city, as I like everything that is colorful and shiny.
One should have a heart for kitsch to feel comfortable in NY - so her words.

Of course, I was drawn to the colorful Eau de New York star - just my taste.

The scent is anything but kitschy or overloaded, but captures me with its clear neroli note.
Bergamot and grapefruit are wonderfully refreshing and invigorating.
All 4711 fans - pay attention!

Petitgrain adds a touch of exoticism, and jasmine and lily shine bright and subtly elegant.
The herbal component in the form of basil and verbena clears the nose.
The white woods provide a soft background for the beautiful, vibrant scent image.

A positively tuned fragrance that piques curiosity about the pulsating life in NY.
Moreover, I perceive the colorful star as an ornament for my four walls.

Should I treat myself to a plane ticket after all?

torn back and forth...

The comment will likely be a bit worse than the rating.
Longevity: clearly and easily 12 hours for me, even beyond that.
Sillage: Oh yes, it can do that.
Bottle: High-quality and beautiful
Scent: yes, I really like it BUT... since I own it myself.

Here, it seems to have sold very poorly, probably a reason why it is no longer available here and a friend had to bring it to me from London.

My very honest opinion - this applies to all other fragrances that exceed the €200 mark - it is not worth it. So for the money, and then in pounds, it would not end up with me again. Moreover, the bottle and packaging do not list any ingredients. For me, that's clearly a downside. I find the hype and the price for all Bond No.9 fragrances almost cheeky. I feel similarly about Amouage fragrances, although I still perceive the richness of facets here.

Now to the scent. My subjective perception is that the trend is moving towards "quick scents."
Meaning: Spray it on, bang boom and it's there. My nose does not perceive the rich, multifaceted scent pyramid as described.

For me: Neroli, all the time, then (but actually from the beginning), verbena. Additionally, there’s a subtle metallic note. Could it have been myrrh? It's not in there. Is it perhaps violet? Honestly, I don't know. Sometimes it pinches my nose throughout the day and it becomes too piercing for me.

Nevertheless, I need it from time to time, but rather rarely.

I can see a similarity to Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, although this one turns out more soapy on my skin.

All in all, a hmmyeahIdon'treallyknowbutit'sgood scent. BUT not for the price!!
