In the Blueberry Scent Heaven ... a Top-Class Fragrance Journey!

This is my first Bond No. 9 and it was supposed to be tested beforehand. However, I ordered it blind (super cheap offer on the bay) out of fear that I might not be able to get it anymore or at absolute horror prices since production has been discontinued. So I quickly ordered a sample from a lovely perfumer beforehand.
As it had to happen... the package with I Love New York for Her arrived before the sample :)
I managed to hold off for half a day before opening it, but then curiosity won.
What can I say... I am thrilled with this sweet-fruity yet also multifaceted fragrance that changes repeatedly over time. I will take you along on this scent journey ;)
About the fragrance:
I Love New York for Her starts with fruity-sweet blueberries. They soon come across as slightly fresh and spicy through an ethereal mandarin peel and nutmeg. I find the scent experience grandiose ... cheerful and like sunshine... definitely lifts the mood. Still fruity-gourmand, the Bond No. 9 ;)
After an hour, the fragrance transitions into a second phase where patchouli and a hint of rose join the blueberries. It now feels more mature and deeper. I Love New York for Her now exudes a warmth that invites comfort.
It remains this way for another hour until we reach scent phase 3.
The blueberry is now only subtly perceptible, the vanilla gives Bond No. 9 the final kick, while sandalwood and musk perfectly round off this scent journey. A hint of leather is also present, but it doesn't bother me here.
I deliberately write about scent phases because I am completely fascinated by the transitions in this fragrance... they are fluid, harmoniously balanced, and long-lasting.
The longevity is quite good... although the scent becomes intimate after about 5 hours. Before that, I am surrounded by a beautiful, delicate scent aura. I Love New York for Her is not a loud fragrance.
The bottle ... typical Bond No. 9 shape in pink. Looks pretty.
I think you can wear the fragrance at any time of day or night and throughout the whole year :)
Conclusion:
I am in blueberry scent heaven ... a high-quality, multifaceted, and sweet gourmand, and so much more... for me, a top-class fragrance journey!
Anyone who wants it should not hesitate ... unfortunately discontinued :(
