Bond No. 9 Buying Guide: Shopping New York Neighborhood Perfumes by Sample, Bottle, and Boutique

Bond No. 9 is a NoHo perfume house that sells neighborhood-inspired eau de parfum, sample sets, and boutique extras from bondno9.com and its New York and Miami stores. This guide is for shoppers who will pay luxury prices for a city-mapped scent and need the live shipping, return, and sample rules before they order a 100ml bottle.

Bond No. 9 Buying Guide: Shopping New York Neighborhood Perfumes by Sample, Bottle, and Boutique

Laurice El Badry Rahme, Ltd. still sells perfume from 9 Bond Street

Bond No. 9 is sold from bondno9.com by Laurice El Badry Rahme, Ltd., the company named in the site privacy policy, at 9 Bond Street, New York, NY 10012. Founder and CEO Laurice Rahmé opened the line in 2003 from that Second Empire NoHo building. The philosophy page says the job is to reconnect artistry with perfumery and give New York neighborhoods their own scents. This is fashion fragrance, not a medical product or skin treatment. The FAQ cites 18 to 30 percent parfum. Live 100ml bottles on 20 September 2026 sat mostly at 440 to 490 dollars, with some grids from 275 to 345 dollars for smaller sizes.

Neighborhood juice, civic juice, and the 30 percent Signature bottle

The catalog is a map. Downtown names such as Greenwich Village, TriBeCa, Nolita, Bleecker Street, and Lafayette Street sit near park and uptown names such as Central Park West and New Haarlem. Civic bottles sit beside them. The Scent of Peace, which the philosophy page ties to a 2015 United Nations Women for Peace Association honor for Rahmé, uses grapefruit, black currant, lily of the valley, cedarwood, and musk. The Scent of Peace for Him adds bergamot, pineapple, juniper, vetiver, and patchouli. The FAQ lists Greenwich Village, TriBeCa, New Haarlem, Signature Scent, Nomad, Lafayette, both Peace bottles, Nolita, and New York Nights among bestsellers. Most juice is unisex; a few pages still steer toward women or men.

  • Greenwich Village 100ml: 470 dollars as listed 20 September 2026; oriental vanilla with cassis, lychee, peony, vanilla, and praline
  • TriBeCa 100ml: 470 dollars, some grids from 345 dollars; cacao, green hazelnut, jasmine sambac, caramel
  • Signature Scent 100ml: 490 dollars; 30 percent oud, rose, tonka, and musk, named for the NoHo address
  • New Haarlem 100ml: 440 dollars; coffee-patchouli with lavender, bergamot, cedarwood, and vanilla
  • The Scent of Peace 100ml: 470 dollars, some grids from 335 dollars; The Scent of Peace for Him 100ml 470 dollars, some grids from 295 dollars
  • Lafayette Street and Bleecker Street 100ml: 470 dollars each; Astor Place and Brooklyn showed from 275 dollars

Signature Scent is the house statement rather than another street name. Official copy says it launched for the tenth anniversary of the Bond Street boutique, blending oud, rose, tonka, and musk at 30 percent, which the brand calls rare pure perfume. The product FAQ cites about six to eight hours of wear and evening use. That is house marketing, not a lab result, and wear still depends on skin and how many sprays you use. Signature Perfume Bejeweled listed at 1,200 dollars. A Signature refillable candle set showed from 105 dollars. If oud feels heavy, stay in the usual neighborhood eaux on a first order instead of jumping to the pure-perfume SKU.

Spend 170 dollars on Super Luxe before you spend 470 dollars on a flacon

A 100ml Bond No. 9 bottle is a poor first guess. Bond To Go Super Luxe listed at 170 dollars on 20 September 2026 for 18 vials of 1.7ml, including Island, Bleecker Street, Greenwich Village, Tribeca, Lafayette Street, Nomad, Nolita, and several ouds, with contents subject to stock. Super Luxe is final sale and excluded from promotion. Every online order also includes three complimentary samples, with substitutions if a requested vial is out. The Grand Bon Bon Box listed at 550 dollars for 30 refillable 7ml sprays. Gift Services showed a Luxe Trio of Ouds at 2,500 dollars. Perfumistas at 646-284-9009 or contactus@bondno9.com can steer a shortlist.

  • Call 646-284-9009 weekdays 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET, or email contactus@bondno9.com, before you pay
  • Start with Super Luxe at 170 dollars if you can accept final sale, or use the three complimentary vials
  • Skin-test for several days; Bond No. 9 says stored juice lasts three to five years away from heat and sun
  • Then buy 50ml where offered, or 100ml, and add 9-dollar gift wrap in the cart if the bottle is a present

Open bondno9.com to confirm Super Luxe contents, 50ml versus 100ml stock, and current 100ml prices before you commit to a neighborhood bottle.

What is refillable, what is final sale, and what sits beside the juice

Full-size Bond No. 9 bottles are not refillable. Travel pocket sprays use a twist-off cap so you can fill them from the big bottle. Some 50ml options still appear on Greenwich Village and TriBeCa, but stock is uneven. TriBeCa also warns the neck finish may not match the photo. Beside the juice, Central Park West Body Silk listed at 145 dollars and Central Park South Body Silk at 160 dollars. The Scent of Peace Body Silk was 145 dollars. Body silks, lipsticks, and Super Luxe are final sale. The refillable vegan lipstick is a fashion extra, not a dermatology product. Swarovski custom work listed 1,200 dollars; a Couture Amphora listed 850 dollars.

Collectors this house is built for, and shoppers who should not check out

Bond No. 9 fits a shopper who wants a New York story in the bottle, will pay several hundred dollars for 100ml, and can visit a boutique or wait on samples. It also fits a collector who likes neighborhood names and an in-store Passport card. The FAQ still describes the house as independent niche, with Rahmé overseeing concept, juice, bottle design, and boutique interiors. Phone orders are allowed at 646-284-9009. You can check out as a guest or make an account. E-gift cards never expire and redeem only on the website, which is the right present when you refuse to guess a neighborhood for someone else.

Skip this house if you want a 40-dollar drugstore spray, a refillable full-size flacon, or a long no-questions return. Skip it if your only address is a P.O. box; Bond No. 9 does not ship to those. Skip international checkout if you might send juice back, because foreign orders have no returns and you owe import tax on arrival. Skip Super Luxe, body silk, and lipstick if you need a refund path. Skip mixing a Bloomingdale's or Neiman Marcus receipt with a boutique or website return. People who want a quiet skin scent may also bounce off 18 to 30 percent juice. That concentration is a style choice, not a medical claim.

Treat bondno9.com as a NoHo perfume counter that happens to ship. Sample on skin, then buy one neighborhood bottle you already like. Do not mail-order a 470-dollar 100ml as a blind first try, and do not plan on walking an online box back into Madison Avenue or Saks.

Four Manhattan doors, two Miami rooms, and counters that are not the website

If you can stand at a counter, spray before you pay. Store locations list four New York boutiques: 897 Madison Avenue at 73rd Street, 212-794-4480; 399 Bleecker Street at 11th Street, 212-633-1641; 9 Bond Street at Broadway and Lafayette, 212-228-1732; and 645 Fifth Avenue at 51st Street, 646-922-8940. Miami doors are Aventura Mall Suite 1131, 305-931-1488, and the Design District at 112 NE 41st Street, 305-573-5686. The Fifth Avenue shop is described as an 800-square-foot duplex with custom blending upstairs. Call before you travel; the locations page we checked on 20 September 2026 did not publish a full hours grid for every door.

Outside the boutiques, Bond No. 9 names U.S. counters at Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Dillard's, plus Isetan in Japan, Paris Gallery in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, and Harrods in the United Kingdom. The Passport Program is in-store only: nine bottles at a boutique or those counters earn a complimentary tenth. Website orders do not stamp that card. You cannot return a bondno9.com order at a boutique or department-store counter, and you cannot pick up a website order in a store. Same-day Manhattan delivery exists if you order by 2 p.m. ET. Gift wrap is 9 dollars per item. Crushed juice needs a call to 646-284-9009 with the box kept for inspection.

UPS in the States, PayPal abroad, and a 14-day mail-back to Bond Street

Domestic shipping is UPS. The shipping page lists free ground at 0 dollars for 7 to 10 business days, paid UPS Ground at 15 dollars for 5 to 7 business days, 2nd Day Air at 40 dollars, and Next Day Air at 60 dollars. Expedited boxes require a signature and skip weekends. The FAQ also requires a signature on orders over 350 dollars, which covers most bottles. Orders usually process in 5 to 7 business days, and anything after 12 p.m. ET ships the next business day. Expedited orders before noon ET are described as same-day ship. Tracking arrives by email. Rates can still change with weight and destination, so read the checkout pane.

International checkout ships through PayPal at a flat 150 dollars, which can rise on quantity orders. You pay import tax on arrival. Transit is listed at 7 to 10 business days. There are no returns or exchanges abroad. U.S. website returns run 14 calendar days from the ship date. Email orders@bondno9.com for the form and mail unused or gently used product in original packaging to Bond No. 9, Ecommerce Returns and Exchange, 9 Bond Street, New York, NY 10012. Non-sample gifts with purchase must come back. Delivery cost and return postage are not refunded. Refunds are described as 5 to 7 days after warehouse receipt, back to the original payment method.

Use bondno9.com for live stock, UPS options, and the 14-day mail-back rules, or call 646-284-9009 if you would rather place the order with the e-commerce desk.

Frequently asked questions

Can I return an online Bond No. 9 order to a boutique or a Saks counter?

No. Online purchases cannot be returned or exchanged at Bond No. 9 boutiques or at counters inside participating Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Dillard's, or Saks Fifth Avenue stores. Mail the parcel to 9 Bond Street after you email orders@bondno9.com for the form. Boutique-bought bottles can move among the four New York shops as store credit or exchange only, with no cash refunds. A counter purchase returns to that retailer. Third-party bottles are refused at Bond No. 9 doors. Keep the channel you paid on in mind before you treat the Madison Avenue shop as a universal service desk for a website box.

What does U.S. shipping cost, and when is a signature required?

Inside the United States, ground shipping is free, with a 7 to 10 business-day window. Paid UPS Ground is 15 dollars for 5 to 7 business days. Two-day air is 40 dollars and next-day air is 60 dollars, both signature required and without weekend delivery. The FAQ also requires a signature on orders over 350 dollars. Processing is usually 5 to 7 business days. After 12 p.m. ET the ship date moves to the next business day. Manhattan same-day delivery is a separate local option if you order by 2 p.m. ET. P.O. boxes are refused. Always reread live checkout rates, because the shipping page warns that price can vary by weight and destination.

Are the glass bottles refillable, and how do the travel sprays work?

Full-size Bond No. 9 bottles are not refillable. The house instead sells travel pocket sprays with a twist-off cap so you can spray from your bottle into the smaller atomizer. The Grand Bon Bon Box packages 30 of those 7ml sprays. Super Luxe vials are 1.7ml samples, not the refillable pocket hardware. If you want less glass in a bag, buy a pocket spray and keep the 100ml at home. Do not assume an empty flacon can go back to Bond Street for a refill; that service is not listed. Store opened juice in a temperature-controlled room away from sunlight if you care about the three-to-five-year shelf window the FAQ describes.

Does the Passport Program work on bondno9.com?

No. Passport is an in-store punch card for Bond No. 9 boutiques and counters at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and Dillard's. Buy nine bottles, and the tenth is complimentary. Website orders do not count. If you already live near Madison Avenue, Bleecker Street, Bond Street, Fifth Avenue, or a named department-store counter, ask the staff to stamp the card when you pay. Online shoppers get free U.S. ground shipping, three complimentary samples, and optional 9-dollar wrap instead. Those are different perks. Do not buy nine 100ml bottles from the site expecting a free tenth to appear in the confirmation email.

Which Bond No. 9 products are final sale?

The FAQ names Body Silks, lipsticks, and Bond To Go Super Luxe as final sale, with no return or exchange. Super Luxe is also excluded from promotion on its product page. Regular eau de parfum bought on bondno9.com can still use the 14-day mail-back if it is unused or gently used, in original packaging, with any non-sample gift with purchase included. International orders cannot come back at all. Delivery fees never come back. If you are gifting silk or lipstick, size and shade have to be right the first time. If you are sampling, accept that the 170-dollar Super Luxe box is spent even if none of the 18 vials become your daily scent.
