Brooklyn is changing. New York’s legendary city within a city, home to a century or more of strivers, dreamers, and Nobel laureates, is reinventing itself, neighborhood by neighborhood, as an edgy metropolis. Sure, for a while there Brooklyn was a necessary second choice for the real estate-challenged Millennials seeking affordable rents and more square footage than formidable Manhattan could offer. But now— a whole new story. Today’s Brooklyn is preferable to a new generation of artistic émigrés. This is where the artists and musicians choose to move. It’s home to graffiti-ists, gaffers, and key grips, to web designers and aspiring editors. This is where fashion stylists live. New York-bound hip-and-cool Seattle-ites prefer to move to Brooklyn; smart Stockholmers book their hotel rooms here.
How awesome is this!!!!
PS: I love the line "...It’s home to graffiti-ists, gaffers, and key grips, to web designers and aspiring editors." Sounds like someone I know *cough* *cough* Moving on...
It's no secret that I love Bond No. 9...I treasure my Bleecker St perfume like nobodies business. I only break it out when something truly special is going to happen (like my 21st birthday that recently passed). But Bleecker St might (is) going to have some really tough competition with Brooklyn (sounds like Battle of the Boroughs to me).
I love the clear bottle with "Brooklyn" written out in graffiti. It truly captures the essence of Brooklyn. The edgy, cool, yet laid back feel of the borough.
Other than the fact that this is named after my home city, it's also my type of scent. While I do love fresh and green scents, I'm constantly drawn to woodsy and oriental scents.
"...a woody, spicy-filled oriental that mingles cardamom, geranium leaves, and cedarwood while grapefruit and juniper leaves accelerate the scent, and South American guaiacwood and leather bring a tender, beckoning touch."
Also different in Brooklyn is that it has what’s known as sillage, which means it doesn’t cling to the skin, but rather diffuses, leaving a trail behind it.
Before you start grumbling about how we're in a recession, times are tough, paying more than $50 for anything is a waste, blah blah blah...I beg you to think about this. Really think about it. It's Bond No. 9. You know your money won't be going to waste. The quality is top notch AND not to mention they recycle your perfume bottles. And it's Brooklyn.
Clearly there's no bias here =)
Ya'll don't know how EXCITED I am for this! Launching in March, this bottle is available in two sizes: 100ml ($220) and 50ml ($145), at Bond No. 9's four New York City boutiques, www.bondno9.com, 877-273-3369, and at Saks Fifth Avenue nationwide.

I usually like BOnd 9... but i have to say as an artist' girlfriend and a native BK girl I am really disappointed, and my graffiti artist boyfriend was DISGUSTED... he was ashamed of the representation of "brooklyn art"
I would not pay $1 for this, they should really take there profits and pay a REAL ARTIST, if they want to charge $220 per bottle!!!!!
