Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street Eau de Parfum 100ml (3.4 fl. oz.) is a woody, warm-spicy fragrance for men inspired by the downtown New York street that runs through neighborhoods including SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown. Bond No. 9 describes Lafayette Street as a smooth, ultra-masculine fougère, combining bright citrus and aromatic spice with ambroxan, apple, vanilla, dry woods, tonka bean, and warm amber.

The fragrance opens with bergamot, coriander, and fresh floral notes. Bergamot provides a sparkling citrus lift, while coriander introduces warm spice with green, aromatic facets. The floral accord adds freshness and softens the opening before the richer heart begins to develop.

At the heart, ambroxan, apple, and vanilla create a smooth contrast between mineral warmth, crisp fruit, and creamy sweetness. Ambroxan gives the composition an ambergris-like character, while apple adds freshness and vanilla rounds the center with a softer, warmer tone.

The dry-down settles into dry wood, tonka bean, and grey amber. Dry woods give Lafayette Street a grounded, masculine structure, while tonka bean adds softly spiced sweetness with vanilla-like facets. Grey amber completes the fragrance with warm depth and a polished finish.

Bond No. 9 categorizes Lafayette Street as Woody & Earthy and Warm & Spicy, and the brand recommends it particularly for nighttime wear. Based on its vanilla, tonka, amber, and woody structure, it is also especially well suited to fall and winter, date nights, dinners, formal occasions, and elevated evening events.
