Review: Bond No 9 New York Oud – Everything You Need To Know

New York Oud.

A wearable and sensual oud fragrance for men and women.

Bond No 9 New York Oud was released in 2011. It is based on oud, rose, and sweet fruits. It lasts 12 hours on the skin with room-filling projection. In this review, I will describe its smell and performance and if it’s worth it.

What Does Bond No 9 New York Oud Smell Like?

New York Oud is highly sensual, rich, and designed to evoke love and desire. Interestingly enough, it was released on Valentine’s Day.

Many Oud fragrances I review use oud as an ultra-masculine ingredient. These fragrances have sex appeal but not by design. However, New York Oud is unique; the main focus is sexy and sensual. The oud is still masculine but not used to the extent of other fragrances.

New York Oud is a layered scent; there are three distinct personalities. A harsh plum takes the lead; it is sweet but extremely tart; Bond No 9 describes it as “ready to rumble.” Supporting plum are undertones of honey and orange zest; both are fun and smooth.

In the heart of the fragrance, intense florals project romance and seduction. Florals linger in the base but are overpowered by masculine nature. The subtle sultriness of oud and leather emphasizes sexy masculinity. Musk blends with honey and creates a sensual, animalistic smell.

Bond No 9 New York Oud notes:

Performance

New York Oud lasts 12 hours on the skin with excellent projection. For the opening, mid, and large portion of the dry-down, the projection fills a room with a six-foot projection. The scent trail is as good. The more you move around, the more this pushes out, the better it smells. This performance is with three sprays.

This is exclusively late fall and winter wear when cooler temperatures can moderate strength. I haven’t tried this in the spring or summer, but I know this becomes too overwhelming, even in the mild temperatures of the fall. So, I doubt it would fair well. You’ll get three months of wear in a four-season climate.

As for occasions, it is all but office and other close-quarter settings. This is solely because the projection is too loud.

Lastly, mass appeal and likability are above-average. This is an oud fragrance geared for mass appeal and seductiveness. It is unique and stands out, but it doesn’t take it so far that it is decisive.

Where Should I Buy Bond No 9 New York Oud?

Final Words

New York Oud is worth a sample or decant. The best part about the fragrance is that it’s a wearable oud fragrance. It’s not the best beginner’s oud fragrance. But this is an excellent choice if you’re looking for one with a more sensual twist.

After you try Bond No 9 New York Oud, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
