Bond No. 9 is a New York-based niche house known for creating fragrances inspired by Manhattan neighborhoods and landmarks. Founded in 2003, the brand has built a reputation for distinctive, locally-inflected scents that capture the essence of specific NYC locations.

Lafayette Street opens with bright bergamot and floral notes sharpened by coriander, giving the fragrance an aromatic lift. The heart shifts toward something sweeter and more intimate, with apple and ambroxan creating a creamy, slightly fruity accord that's undercut by vanilla. The base settles into a comforting gourmand warmth, with tonka bean and ambergris providing a soft, resinous finish rounded out by woodsy undertones. The overall effect is floral and decidedly gourmand, sitting somewhere between cologne freshness and skin scent softness.

This is an approachable fragrance for those who want something with sweetness and depth but without heaviness. It works well for everyday wear and transitions easily into cooler months. The vanilla and tonka give it enough presence for evening, though it never becomes cloying. Lafayette Street suits The Romantic, The Homesteader, and The Heirloom.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Flowers
Flowers
Coriander
Coriander
Warm, spicy, and faintly citrusy, coriander seed smells quite different from the green herb, with a dry, woody warmth and a slight floral quality. It adds a spiced, slightly exotic character to masculine fragrances without the sharpness of pepper or the sweetness of vanilla. A supporting spice note that adds complexity.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Apple
Apple
Fresh, crisp, and slightly cidery, apple reads as clean and natural rather than candy-sweet. Green apple is sharper and more aromatic; red apple is rounder and juicier. Both add an approachable freshness to florals and fresher orientals, and green apple in particular is a signature of certain classic masculines.
Ambroxan
Ambroxan
The molecule responsible for the warm, skin-amplifying quality of many modern fragrances, ambroxan (Ambrox) is a synthetic compound derived from ambergris that creates an almost invisible warmth. It doesn't smell strongly on its own but makes everything around it feel richer, closer, and more like skin. The secret weapon of countless contemporary bestsellers.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
Ambergris
Ambergris
One of perfumery's most storied materials, a waxy substance produced by sperm whales with a uniquely salty, sweet, earthy quality. Real ambergris is nearly unobtainable; most perfumers use synthetic alternatives. It adds a marine warmth and incredible fixative quality, making fragrances smell more 'alive' and skin-like.
