Bond No. 9 will launch a new fragrance called High Line. Basenotes reports the perfume is inspired by a park built on a section of the former elevated freight railroad of the West Side Line, along the lower west side of Manhattan. The track dates back to the 1930s.
The new fragrance was created by Laurent Le Guernec who has already worked with Bond No. 9 to create Astor Place, Brooklyn and So New York.
High Line is the first public park of its kind in the United States. It is built more than ten metres above the west side of Manhattan.
Bond No. 9 says, "Since when do new neighborhoods arise in New York? Hardly ever. After all, this city is already jam-packed with just about every kind of community imaginable. So when a new part of town appears, you can be sure we’re in for something completely different. Like our latest and most dynamic neighborhood, the High Line—which serves as the subject of Bond No. 9’s Spring 2010 eau de parfum."
The fragrance features notes from some of the plants that live on the High Line, including top notes of purple love grass, bergamot, Indian rhubarb. The heart is red-leaf rose, Lady Jane tulips, and grape hyacinth. Base notes consist of bur oak and imported sea moss.
The new fragrance will be available in March.
