Astor Place is the latest scent from New York based fragrance house Bond No. 9. The perfume is inspired by the city’s vibrant arts and style intersection – home to the Astor Place Opera House and Tony Rosenthal’s sculpture “Alamo” or “The Cube”.
This fragrance was launched in April 2009 and described by founder Laurice Rahme, as unisex (all Bond No. 9 fragrances are unisex) with feminine tendencies. Designed by perfumer Laurent de Guernec, the notes of this fragrance are violet leaf, mandarin zest, freesia, poppy buds, orris root, teakwood, musk and amber. The bottle is a palette of beautiful colors, more like a montage of cubes ala-Alamo.
The notes open up with a pleasant fruity accord that reminds me of berries. It quickly disappears, however, as the essence of white flowers replaced the sweet notes at the top. The base seems to be invisible as the musk and amber are nowhere to be found. It could be the freesia toppled the supposed woodsy notes. I wish the dry down is a lot more pronounced to give the beautiful floral more character. Some say that Astor Place is reminiscent of Paris Hilton’s first fragrance or Dior’s J’adore. While both are aesthetically pleasing to the nose, I expect something more from Astor Place. Perhaps, more dramatic flair to it just like the real Astor Place.
Astor Place is available in eau de toilette at 50ml and 100ml. There’s also a Swarovski limited edition in 100ml bottle.
