Bond No. 9 Chinatown Fragrance for Men and Women by Bond No. 9

Chinatown enjoys something of a cult-status among perfume lovers due to its unusual and brilliant handling of the olfactory palette into unprecedented arpeggios. Like an art film which you don't quite appreciate the first time around, Chinatown reveals its hidden assets over a more careful second "reading" which becomes imprinted in memory ever after. Inspired by the same-named locale in New York city, the scent of Chinese laundromats, florists and food shops selling an exotic melange of East meets West, the fragrance reprises familiar and delicate tones of peach blossom and gardenia and sprinkles them with sweet spice (cardamom), making them gain an almost caphoraceous, leathery vibe which regresses before the sensuous woods at the base mesmerize with their plush. Utterly modern, very sophisticated thanks to its subtle suede feel, and truly unique, Chinatown is among Bond No.9's extensive portfolio one of the masterpieces.
