Inspired by Bond No. 9 Governors Island
Governors Island
Extrait de Parfum · 100ml · 30% Concentration · Sydney, Australia
Bond No. 9 has always captured New York City in fragrance form, and Governors Island is one of their most evocative. Named for the 172-acre island in New York Harbor, it is a fragrance that carries the quality of open sky, salt air and something deeper beneath.
Incense and resin open with a cool, slightly smoky depth that is immediately distinctive. Ambroxan and cashmeran at the heart create a warm, velvety softness that gives this composition its magnetic, skin-close quality. Vetiver, white musk, muscenone and veramoss in the base settle into a clean, earthy, woody foundation that is quietly complex and extraordinarily wearable. At 30% concentration this is Governors Island with a depth and longevity that reveals something new with every hour of wear.

Performance
Formulated at 30% concentration, Extrait de Parfum, the highest category in fine fragrance. Expect 10 to 16 hours of wear with a rich, evolving sillage that opens boldly and settles into a deeply personal skin scent over time. One or two sprays is all that is required.
How to Apply
Apply to pulse points, the inner wrists, base of the neck, and behind the ears. Do not rub. Allow the fragrance to dry naturally and interact with your skin's warmth. For best performance, apply to freshly moisturised skin or over an unscented body lotion. Dry skin absorbs fragrance faster. Oily skin holds it longer. At 30% concentration, one or two sprays is enough.
Care and Storage
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. UV exposure and temperature fluctuation degrade aromachemicals over time. A drawer, cabinet, or wardrobe shelf is ideal. Avoid bathrooms. Kept correctly, your fragrance will perform at full strength for 3 to 5 years.
Formulation
Every formula is built from individual aromachemicals using GCMS reconstruction, the same methodology used by the world's leading fragrance houses. We source exclusively from IFF, Givaudan, and Firmenich, the same suppliers used by Dior, Chanel, and Tom Ford. Never a pre-made type oil. Never a shortcut.
