With earthquakes, hurricanes and even the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the horizon, the Bond No. 9 I Love New York Collection couldn't have been released at a better time. This city-celebrating scent is just what New York natives, as well as those who simply adore this mega metropolis, need. Of course, it is only natural that Bond No. 9 would be the one to create a fragrance that brings to mind the feelings associated with this iconic phrase and image. They do specialize in concocting perfumes that embody the essence of each borough.

The Bond No. 9 I Love New York Collection does not disappoint. It is comprised of three scents: I Love New York for Her in a pink bottle, I Love New York for Him in a blue bottle and I Love New York for All in a black bottle.
