HARRODS FOR HIM

It is a tribute to Harrods’ vision and ingenuity that this iconic luxury emporium, regarded by many retail connoisseurs as the pinnacle of London shopping and shopping anywhere, would look across the Atlantic to New York for its house fragrances. Our two cities are more closely aligned than ever. Rarely compared to any others, London and New York stand apart as global boom towns defined by energy, ambition, and cultural influence.

The West End and Broadway offer the world’s greatest theatre. The restaurant scenes are equally compelling, as are the art, music, and contemporary architecture. Wall Street and the City of London continue to reign as the world’s leading financial capitals. When America’s First Lady, Michelle Obama, shared a spontaneous, protocol-breaking embrace with the Queen during the May 2009 presidential visit to London, it felt like a symbolic moment, signaling that these two great metropolises were ready to draw even closer. What better way to express that connection than through scent?

Bond No. 9 Harrods for Him is a refined men’s fougère, modernized with subtle gourmand accents. Classic notes of lavender, violet leaf, sandalwood, and musk form the backbone of the composition, while unexpected touches of rhubarb, star anise, chamomile, and pimento leaves add warmth, intrigue, and contemporary flair. The result is a fragrance that is polished yet adventurous, traditional yet unmistakably modern.
