SUTTON PLACE

Here at Bond No. 9, we have a history of firsts. Ours is the first-every city-oriented parfumerie, scenting the neighborhoods of our beloved home base, New York. We've done the first fragrance honoring conflict resolution and tolerance - our bestselling Scent of Peace; the first financial scent - Wall Street; and even the first shopping scent - Madison Avenue. And now, the world's first and only diplomatic eau de parfum - which of course could only emanate from New York, home to the United Nations headquarters.

Sutton Place, the six-block stretch of handsome prewar buildings sandwiched between the 59th Street Bridge and the U.N. Building. This quiet, secluded, discreetly elegant, and near-secret enclave dates back to 1875, when a shipping magnate named Effingham B. Sutton built the area’s first brownstones. Today, housing U.N. missions, ambassadors, and diplomats (most notably the Secretary General, whose official residence is here), it exudes a unique international flair and distinct ambassadorial style.

As befits the assured and authoritative traditional role of men in global diplomacy, we've given Sutton Place, the scent, a distinctly masculine profile. This is an impactful gourmand floral oriental whose top notes are a tangy-spicy cocktail: citrusy bergamot and tangerine combined with piquant pink pepper, fresh but intense cassis, and juicy, tropical, flavorful pineapple. At Sutton Place's heart is an assertive floral bouquet: seductive jasmine, intoxicating lily and heady patchouli. What gives this scent its ultimate bona fides are its strong, classically male base notes: warm and resolute amber along with animalic musk and leather, leavened by a softening shot of vanilla.
