About this item
Bond No. 9 Wall Street smells cool, mineral and faintly damp, the way downtown does early, seaweed and cucumber lending the top a briny green freshness that reads more like harbour air than perfume. Ambergris and resins compose a heart of quiet salt and warmth, giving the composition a body and a low, salted warmth beneath the sea air. Vetiver and oakmoss let it rest dry, dark and earthy. Four components across three stages, and not one of them behaves the way a designer fragrance normally would. The oakmoss is what makes this work, dragging the marine opening somewhere serious and slightly severe. The result smells more like wet concrete after rain than an actual beach. As a woody aquatic Eau de Parfum, Wall Street finds its natural home in daily wear that carries into evening. Wall Street is a fragrance that earns repeat wear.
