Bond No 9 Harrods for Him

The Bottle

Harrods for Him takes Bond No. 9's waisted shape into a dark, glossy palette. Gold-coloured linear decoration winds across the near-black body, giving the front a maze-like quality, while the circular NYC Harrods medallion supplies a clear point of focus. The broad black cap keeps the top graphic and uncomplicated. It is theatrical without being especially luxurious, and the dense lines may feel more assertive than refined. Still, the silhouette and unusual artwork make it easy to recognise, with enough presence to hold its own on a dressing table.

Original or Clone

We think the original is worth buying when the bottle is part of the appeal: its broad flared silhouette and dark, gold-lined face are unusually memorable. The market case is otherwise thin, with only two interpretations from one house tracked, so that record says little about broad reference status. Laurent Le Guernec’s credited authorship supplies a clearer reason to seek this release itself, even though a reasonable reader may still choose an interpretation.
