If you’ve been following this blog for a minute you’ll know that Bond No.9 is one of my favorite perfumery companies. This holiday seasson they’re helping consumers share the lovely smells of Bond No.9 with 4 new holiday gift packages they dub as “recession-proof”.

• The Perfume Token - Circular “token” as a solid-perfume compact, containing your choice of six of our most sought-after eaux de parfum. Stashed in its own perfect little white leather zipper case. The compact’s refillable; the zipper case will lead a double life as a carry-case for rings, earrings, and lapel pins. Andy Warhol Union Square, Chelsea Flowers, Chinatown, Nuits de Noho, The Scent of Peace or Wall Street: $85.
• The Soapbox - Dressed in Bond No.9’s colorful signature foils that display delectable pleats and the Bond No. 9 NYC logo as a centerpiece. The soap boxes—displaying a field of Bond No. 9 “tokens” on an ivory background—are beguiling in their own right. A set of four (Chelsea Flowers, Chinatown, Eau de New York and The Scent of Peace): $95. A lone soap bar, available in six of our best-selling scents (the boxed foursome, Nuits de Noho and Wall Street): $35.
• The Voyager Candles - Introducing traveler candles, sized to stow in a suitcase. Think of them as ambiance-enhancing New York neighborhood souvenirs. A five-pack of the most popular scents (Chelsea Flowers, Chinatown, Eau de New York, Nuits de Noho and The Scent of Peace), each bearing the Bond No. 9 “token”: $95.
• All-Around-Town Pocket Sprays - Introducing a box of eight pocket spray flacons, each containing a different New York neighborhood eau, and each delectably twist-wrapped in our award-winning signature foils. These are small enough to slip into an evening clutch bag, with plenty of room to spare. Plus, they’re refillable. $130.

The candles are definitely on my list, I have the Wall Street candle and looooove it. Check out the product pictures and then hit up www.bondno9.com for more info or to make your purchase.

As you may already know, I’m a fan of Bond no. 9 products, regularly using the Wall Street fragrance myself and having purchased a bottle of So New York for mom dukes a few months back.

And now, just in the nick of time for mothers day the NYC perfume house has released its special edition pocket-sized (6ml) Swarovski Stars Bon Bons gift set which includes the best-selling Bryant Park, Bleecker Street, Nuits de Noho and Eau de New York fragrances.

In addition, there will also be larger (50ml) Swarovski encrusted bottles released of the first three fragrances mentioned in the paragraph above. For these, I also reccomend buying mom some stunna shades to make the spray application proccess a bit more manageable.
