Bond No. 9 New Haarlem Eau de parfum

In the heart of New York City lies a borough rich in history, rhythm, and artistic soul—Harlem. Inspired by this legendary cultural hub, Bond No. 9 New Haarlem Eau de parfum is an olfactory tribute to the neighborhood's vibrant energy, soulful sophistication, and creative pulse. This captivating unisex fragrance is a masterful blend of bold gourmand notes and timeless aromatics, offering a scent experience that’s both modern and deeply nostalgic.

Launched as one of Bond No. 9’s earlier iconic creations, New Haarlem has earned its place as a cult favorite among perfume connoisseurs and city dwellers alike. Crafted by master perfumer Maurice Roucel, this fragrance invites you into a warm café on a crisp morning, where the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee mingles with hints of lavender, maple syrup, and patchouli—creating a comforting yet electrifying aura that lingers long after you leave the room.

The top notes introduce themselves with a bold hit of lavender and bergamot, immediately uplifting and aromatic. The lavender adds a cool, herbal sophistication, while the bergamot brightens the opening with a citrusy sparkle. But just as you start to settle into this clean beginning, the coffee note makes its entrance, warm, roasted, and utterly addictive. It’s like stepping into a cozy Harlem café just as the first espresso of the day is pulled.

The heart of New Haarlem is where the magic really happens. Cedarwood and green leaves mix with patchouli and vanilla, building a complex and sensual mid-layer that feels both urban and intimate. The patchouli gives the fragrance depth, grounding the sweeter notes in earthy elegance. Meanwhile, the maple syrup accord adds a gourmand twist—subtle, never cloying, but irresistibly rich. It smells like Sunday brunch with soul music playing softly in the background.

As the scent dries down, amber, tonka bean, and musk take over. The base is smooth, warm, and just a touch powdery, with a creamy richness that envelops your skin like a soft cashmere sweater. It’s comforting, sexy, and entirely unforgettable.

Ideal For:

• Unisex wearers who enjoy gourmand and aromatic fragrances with depth and warmth

• Fall and winter months, or cool spring evenings

• Coffee lovers and artistic souls looking for a signature scent that feels intimate but has character

• Day-to-night versatility: office-appropriate with enough intrigue for a date night

Longevity, Sillage, and Performance:
Bond No. 9 New Haarlem boasts impressive longevity, often lasting 8–10 hours on the skin. Its sillage is moderate to strong, ensuring that it gets noticed without overwhelming the room. As a scent that evolves beautifully over time, it maintains balance from its aromatic opening through its rich, gourmand base. Whether you're stepping into a meeting or a jazz lounge, it performs gracefully.

Packaging and Presentation:
Presented in Bond No. 9’s signature star-shaped bottle, New Haarlem is as eye-catching as it is evocative. The bottle features a sleek design with a dark, moody color palette that reflects the richness of the scent within. Subtle yet sophisticated, it captures the spirit of Harlem’s deep cultural roots and urban cool.

Why It Stands Out:
New Haarlem is not just a fragrance—it’s a feeling. It's the warm embrace of your favorite local haunt. It's the quiet confidence of someone who knows where they come from and where they’re headed. It’s soulful jazz riffs, steaming lattes, soft leather chairs, and timeless cool. It stands proudly in a sea of forgettable scents and tells its own story—rich, refined, and rooted in artistry.
