About Bond No 9 My New York

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.

Bond No. 9 My New York (2020) is a unisex release by Michel Almairac that sits among the house's modern, city-themed lineup. It opens with a fresh spicy surge of ginger, elemi and pink pepper before settling into a heart where rose meets resinous papyrus and then a woody base of sandalwood, patchouli and cashmeran. The profile reads as woody and rose-forward with clear spicy and balsamic facets, and it holds a near 4.0 average from 83 votes, indicating general approval with a noticeable number of polarized reactions from wearers.

Our take

I like how the ginger and pink pepper give a bright first impression and the drydown turns into warm sandalwood and patchouli; on me the rose is present but not dominant, longevity is solid and sillage sits between moderate and strong, though some people will find it either too rosy or a bit too sweet.

A Closer Look

The Bottle

My New York wears Bond No. 9's bottle language in a particularly colourful, souvenir-like way. A cobalt-blue edge and broad cap frame a patchwork of flags, while oversized My New York script sweeps across the collage. The narrow waist remains visible beneath the artwork, and a small NYC medallion sits almost as an afterthought. It is busy, cheerful and more conversation starter than elegant dresser bottle. That isn't necessarily a weakness: the design suits the city-minded idea behind the name and has enough colour to stand out immediately.

Original or Clone

My New York earns a case as the original when the bottle matters: its sculpted cobalt-blue form and crowded flag patchwork make the release unusually distinctive as an object. Michel Almairac’s credit adds a second reason to stay with it; he composed this woody, rose-led, fresh-spicy fragrance, and that authorship belongs to this release, not to attempts to reproduce it. Two houses make interpretations, but the available evidence does not support a closer comparison than that.
