READ THIS ARTICLE ABOUT THE LATEST BOND FRAGRANCE TO DEBUT..ANDY WARHOL LEXINGTON AVENUE



Has anyone smelled this?


This is the third in line for the Bond No.9 Andy Warhol Collection, with an eye-catching bottle. The bottle pays homage to Andy Warhol's early days as a shoe illustrator. It's extremely colorful and decorative with a graphic screen of shoes on it. It was introduced in August 2008 in connection with what would have been Andy Warhol's 80th Birthday (August 6, 1928). The fragrance was supposed to be launching in stores September 2008.


The notes are foresty and citrusy (Chypre), mixed in with a brew of peony, orris, patchouli, sandalwood, cardamom, fennel, almonds, cumin, and even crème brulee (http://www.bondno9.com/, 2008). The fragrance was designed to be a fall/ wintery fragrance. It was created by Robert Lee Morris in cooperation with perfumer, Claude Dir of Givaudan.


Prices will range from $135 for a 50ml bottle to $195 for a 100ml bottle. The fragrance will be sold at all Bond No 9 flagship stores and Saks Fifth Avenue. It also might be available at some fragrance stores online.
