Bond No. 9 Fragrance Inspired by High Line Aerial Walkway

The High Line - an aerial walkway in New York City landscaped with meadows, wetlands, and wildflowers - serves as the subject of Bond No. 9's Spring 2010 eau de parfum. The High Line hovers 30 feet above street level as it meanders along its route from the Meatpacking District to the former 34th Street rail yards. Bond No. 9 also joined forces with and became sponsors of Friends of the High Line.

Bond No. 9 describes the fragrance - Bond No. 9 High Line - as an androgynous floral-marine bouquet that "conveys a whiff of urban wildflowers and a hint of industrial grit."

The result is an androgynous floral-marine bouquet, contrasting the hardy flowers and greens that grow along the High Line's route with intriguing notes from far away. The scent starts off with a prairie grazing weed -- purple love grass -- mixed with citrusy bergamot and zesty Indian rhubarb. The perfume's floral heart is red-leaf rose, Lady Jane tulips, and grape hyacinth. Its lingering base notes combine bur oak -- from the sheltering tree that thrives here -- with imported sea moss, to evoke the Hudson River's proximity, along with musk and teakwood, to remind us that Bond No. 9 High Line is a metro-perfume.

Bond No. 9 High Line will be sold at Bond No. 9's New York stores, Saks Fifth Avenue and bondno9.com.

Bond No. 9 also brought out the High Line for Earth Day 2013. Take a look:
