The Anti-Bond
This fragrance is used to describe Governors Island. An island with old trees offering a wonderful view of the southern tip of Manhattan. Formerly a military facility to protect the New York harbour ... today a destination with many possibilities to relax and to trace the history in the partly still preserved buildings.
With Governors Island, Bond No.9 has created a relaxing fragrance that starts with lavender and a pleasant (slightly ozonized) note of ambroxan, which is then supported before a very individual resin/wood mix of incense - I call it incense stick vibes - that olfactorically suggests the forest. Everything is kept light and fresh by clean musk and blown through by a breeze of vetiver.
And now comes the surprise:
This fragrance, whose noisy siblings include Duro by Nassomato and Musk Aoud by Montale (and certainly a few others), is completely withdrawn and laid-back, without getting any loud at all or swinging excessively with the synthetic club. Even the Ambroxan is so supple that it doesn't burn away your nose hair.
Muscenone and also Anbroxan are used today in many well-known and popular fragrances .. here, however, really skillfully.
I am surprised and have been happy: As much as I love the often bold-synthetic style with the mostly more or less existing oronic-maritime-aquatic note of the bond scents ... this alternative to the previous portfolio had to be in my collection!
Genre: American Forest Impression
For whom: Lovers of rather withdrawn fragrances
When. When? Anyway... he always goes
Durability/Sillage: Loosely 9 hours/after 3-4 hours then slowly becomes more skinniger
Clear test recommendation!!
