For the past 10 years, New York-based Bond No. 9 has been a nonstop smash success across the pond in London—specifically on the main floor of the world's most iconic retail institution, Harrods. But come September the celebrated, prize-winning American perfumer will be in the ascendant at this palace of shopping wonders, expanding its presence into a private, serene, by-appointment oasis ensconced in a prestigious 6th floor containing 5,000 square feet of 17 of the world's most ultra-luxurious scent shops.
Unique in all the world, the Salon de Parfums, as it's called, is the destination for VIP connoisseurs and aficionados in search of secret seclusion as they select the most exclusive fragrances in existence. The forthcoming Bond No. 9 shop, a fantasia for the senses combining Uptown New York cosmopolitanism with an eclectic Downtown New York vibe, will be the first near-replica of its pacesetting flagship.
Staffed by welcoming and attentive fragrance experts providing nonstop concierge service, the Bond No. 9 Salon de Parfums shop will be in the vanguard of today's smaller and more experiential luxury retail venues. As for the wares, all Bond No. 9 New World-New York-centric eaux de parfum will be available—not least its 8 scents created expressly for Harrods.
In addition, the Salon de Parfums' Bond No. 9 shop will offer several bespoke services. These include fragrance tastings, detailed consultations, and happy hours, as well as two vaunted premiere specialties. Bond No. 9 above-and-beyond service is Swarovski on Demand—a crystal-studded revolution in personalized perfume bottles.
"We are thrilled to welcome the Bond No.9 boutique to our newly expanded Salon de Parfums at Harrods. We are truly excited by the number of bespoke services Bond No.9 will be offering in their space, which is their first UK boutique and exclusive to Harrods in the UK; from the amazing demi-custom blending to the Swarovski on demand service – both will create a fantastically unique experience for our Harrods customer and is certainly another welcome addition to our Salon de Parfums fragrance sanctuary on the Sixth Floor. '' Harrods Beauty Director, Annalise Fard
