Success is a Job in New York
No, the title of this post isn’t actual commentary from me. It’s the latest from Bond No. 9: Andy Warhol Success is a Job in New York, the latest in the Andy Warhol collection due to be released in October 2009. The bottle is adorned with a dollar sign created by Warhol in 1981, and the inspiration was from his first assignment as an illustrator in the ’50s–a Glamour magazine article titled, “Success is a Job in New York.”
I was sent a small sample of the scent, and I’m sure that Bond No. 9 has another hit on their hands. Success is unisex, and I’m more inclined to believe that over previous “genderless” scents like Brooklyn. On my skin, it came off as really warm and slightly spicy. The top notes are distinctively citrus and spice, but for me, what lingered longer were the warmer vanilla basenotes (which I prefer, I think). Would it work on a man? I think so, just from testing it on my boyfriend. On him I could really smell the citrus! Success is complex, like most Bond No. 9 fragrances, and sure to please. Look for it at Bond No. 9 and Saks come October, and keep reading for the note breakdown!
- Top notes: Bergamot, cardamon seed, mandarin, coriander, nutmeg
- Middle notes: Pimento, tuberose, rose de mai, jasmine, forbidden plum, iris
- Base notes: Patchouli, benzoin, vanilla infusion
