Lafayette Street

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street

Lafayette Street is a luminous fruity floral, and our version keeps that feel: a juicy citrus opening, a rose and peony heart, and a soft woody musk base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Bond No. 9 built its name on fragrances themed around New York neighbourhoods, sold in ornate bottles at niche prices. Lafayette Street sits in that collection as a fresh, sophisticated floral.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the citrus bright and the florals soft and radiant, landing on a clean woody base, so it feels polished and versatile.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a niche eau de parfum sold at high niche pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a fresh, elegant floral and wants a niche style scent without the niche price.

Notes

It opens bright and juicy, with grapefruit and mandarin giving a fresh citrus lift.
