Bond No. 9 Madison Avenue by Bond No. 9, 3.3 oz EDP Spray for Women

The scent itself is a fresh chypre, that citrusywoodymossy fragrance breed that's long been favored by fashionistas, and which, like all chypres, has its own uniquely haunting couture signature. Its sparkling fruit top notes risp apple, orangey bergamot, tangy, raisinlike blackberry will automatically raise your energy level. Then come the heart notes: a bouquet of roses as rich as silk charmeuse jasmine with the shimmer of shantung; and magnolia as smooth as satin. And last but hardly least, the base notes, with enough longlasting sillage to get you through to late afternoon: earthy patchouli that creamynuttysugary pastry confection, praline and ambroxan contemporary ambergris that's regarded as a prism through which a perfume's other facets can shine.
