Bond No. 9 is a New York-based fragrance house known for creating location-inspired scents that capture the essence of the city's neighborhoods. Manhattan, released in 2012, is one of the house's flagship offerings, designed to evoke the sophistication and energy of the borough itself.

Manhattan opens with peach and bergamot brightened by nutmeg, saffron, and coriander, creating a spiced aromatic top that feels both warm and slightly sweet. The heart develops into a rich gourmand territory with gingerbread, chocolate, honey, and beeswax layered alongside Moroccan and Indian jasmine, adding floral depth to the dessert-like character. The base anchors everything with oud, patchouli, vanilla, and creamy sandalwood, building a woody, warm foundation that's wrapped in musk and cashmere wood for a soft finish. The overall effect is a sophisticated gourmand with oud and spice accents, leaning toward comfort rather than aggression.

This works well for anyone drawn to sweet, woody fragrances with Middle Eastern influences, particularly during cooler months or evenings when its richness shines. It suits those who appreciate gourmand depth without cloying sweetness. Manhattan aligns with The Reverie, The Seducer, and The Mystic scent profiles.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Peach
Peach
Ripe, juicy, and velvety, peach has a warm, slightly creamy sweetness that feels lush rather than childish in the right context. It adds a fruity sensuality to floral and oriental fragrances, and its slightly fuzzy quality can even play into tactile, skin-like accords. A note that feels like high summer.
Nutmeg
Nutmeg
Warm, woody, and softly spiced with a slight sweetness that makes it gentler than clove or pepper. Nutmeg adds a quiet, autumnal warmth to fragrances without sharpness. It blends seamlessly into woody and oriental bases, acting more as a supporting character than a lead note.
Saffron
Saffron
The most expensive spice in the world has a leathery, honeyed, slightly metallic quality that is immediately recognizable. In perfumery, saffron adds a dark, animalic richness, it's the note that gives oud-rose fragrances their distinctive regal depth. A little goes a long way; too much reads as medicinal.
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.
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.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Plum
Plum
Dark, slightly tart, and warm, plum has a wine-like depth that makes it more serious than cherry or peach. It adds a fruity darkness to oriental fragrances, with a slightly fermented quality that bridges fruit and leather families. Used to add drama and depth to floral-oriental compositions.
Gingerbread
Gingerbread
Chocolate
Chocolate
Dark, rich, and slightly bitter, cacao in perfumery ranges from milky sweet to raw and earthy depending on how it's sourced and used. It adds depth and indulgence to oriental fragrances and pairs beautifully with florals in a way that feels more romantic than foodie. A note that divides opinion but never bores.
Honey
Honey
Sweet, waxy, and faintly animalic, honey in perfumery has an almost skin-like quality, intimate and slightly raw. It's related to beeswax in the natural world, and both add a warmth that reads as close and personal. Honey bridges floral and oriental families, adding natural sweetness with a slightly dark edge.
Beeswax
Beeswax
Warm, slightly honeyed, and faintly waxy, beeswax captures the hive's scent rather than pure honey: less sweet, more complex, with a natural, slightly animalic quality. It adds a living warmth to floral and oriental compositions, suggesting proximity to nature. Closely related to honey in perfumery but quieter and more textural.
Moroccan and Indian Jasmine
Moroccan and Indian Jasmine
Immortelle
Immortelle
Also known as helichrysum or everlasting flower, immortelle has one of the most distinctive smells in natural perfumery: warm, honeyed, and curry-like, with notes of maple syrup and chamomile. Its unusual, almost edible character makes it a polarising note that is unforgettable when used well. A signature of certain Provençal fragrances.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Agarwood (Oud)
Agarwood (Oud)
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
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.
Labdanum
Labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Suede
Suede
Soft, slightly powdery, and skin-warm, suede accord in perfumery captures the scent of fine-grained leather without the raw animal quality of heavy leather notes. It's simultaneously woody and musky, creating a second-skin warmth that feels intimate and tactile. The note that makes certain fragrances feel like cashmere.
Cashmere Wood
