Bond No. 9 Boca

Notes: lily of the valley, black currant, gardenia, freesia, hedione, amber, cedarwood, cardamom, musk

Bond ventures out of New York completely with its new limited edition scent Boca. There’s no mistaking it for anything but girly: it’s a rich fruity floral, starting out with a ton of black currant fruit on a background of floral-flavored candyfloss. The predominant floral note is gardenia, making for a heady jolt of white flowers that add their own sweetness to the blend. The currant is tenacious and lingers into the drydown where it is joined by musk and a bit of sweet spice that mellows the scent out a bit.

Boca isn’t a scent for wallflowers – it’s not shy in the least and I would bet it blooms wonderfully in the hot weather of Florida, where it is available exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue stores in Boca Raton.
