Artificial neon latex flowers
This feels sharp and rubbery to my nose. The pretty flowers on the bottle made me expect a dreamy spring floral, but no... It doesn't smell like any realistic flowers. Petals made of latex come to my mind when I smell this. I can single out rose and jasmine, but both are done in an aggressively clean way, enhanced by a clean laundry musk base. The fruity notes are a bit undefined, if anything I get more grenadine syrup than Kir Royal. A vague mix of sweet red berries and other fruits.

New York Flowers is a bit confusing to me. It's really not an airy pastel floral scent, it feels more modern, neon-colored, in-your-face synthetic. Feminine leaning, but way more unisex than the light pinks and purples of the bottle suggest. Kind of interesting once I got over the disconnect between looks and smell, but ultimately too harsh for me. The price is another head-scratcher, there are so many beautiful florals available for much less.

I suspect that this might contain some fixatives/base notes that come a across as loud and scratchy to some (me!) and only enhance the scent for others. It happens a lot with recent niche releases.

Tell me where the flowers are
The world is at a crossroads in many ways. Environment, migration, wars. And the question: How should we go on in the future? How do we want to live together peacefully? Bond No.9's "Answer" is a pacifying fragrance. Jasmine. Celebrating the beauty of this earth. A sign that the good prevails. Something familiar, easy to understand in uncertain times. So far, so good. And certainly in this interpretation very far-fetched :) But basically I am shocked and try to illustrate that about a certain fall height, because he is for me in its triviality hard to beat. I would not condemn him so if he was not so completely lacking in ambition. It's just not a showcasing of beauty. No tickling of the senses. No impulse of anything really substantial. And thus equal to so many mainstream perfumes. The opposite of what would actually be necessary: New ideas, courage, departure. Especially from a so-called niche house.

New York Flowers is a one-dimensional, slightly creamy, too sweet for me jasmine fragrance, strongly reminiscent of J'adore (EdP). A sweet florality on decent, ambrox-like fabric and diffuse detergent musk. A tad darker than J'adore due to the ambroxan vibe and slightly "dirty" in appearance - if you smell closely. Without the slightly soapy impression of the Dior fragrance. However, the floral and musky tones are confusingly similar. Only the opening with its nectarine-like fruitiness can convince me. After that, there is a "play it safe" without any life, where the synthetic plant becomes more and more evident in a never-ending uniformity. Cost point for 100 ml: 460 €. Normally I do not like to lose words about pricing, but this is an impertinence almost without equal. The only thing that sets it apart from Dior's women's bestseller is its durability. Neither quality of ingredients nor artistic vision fit here. A cynical declaration of bankruptcy. I'm partial to the house - although the pricing policy has never seemed comprehensible to me - but if this is the new trend after this year's first installation of an in-house perfumer (James Krivda, who hasn't designed this fragrance yet, though), then Bond No. 9 will stagger even further to the fringes of perfume happenings in the future. Perhaps comparable to Creed. Both brands without a real answer to the needs of the time. Lulling them to sleep and taking them for fools has never helped.
