BOND NUMBER ONE

In the undisputed “art capital of the world,” professional artists and students alike made the pilgrimage to Blick on Bond until 2022 when it finally closed shop and moved further downtown near Canal Street. Still, the original artistic heritage of Bond Street is forever infused in its cobblestone streets. Originally constructed as The Robbins and Appleton Building, #1 Bond Street was built in 1879-1880, designated a landmark in 1979, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Designed by architect Stephen Decatur Hatch, the ornate cast iron façade is a striking example of Second Empire style and emblematic of the creative architectural variety that embodies both the historic and futuristic on Bond Street.

Inspired by this blend of old and new, Bond Number One takes the enduringly popular white musk note - regarded as one of the most sensual and grounding scents - and artfully remixes it for the 21st century in a novel hierarchy that instantly feels classically comforting and yet, ephemeral in its eternal romance.

"The fine arts have always been important to us as a brand" says Rahme, who is continuously inspired by NYC' world-class galleries, museums and the latest exhibitions they host. "Not a day goes by that you can't experience amazing art in New York."
