New York is and always has been an international phenomenon that means something deeply personal to people around the world. Global. Diverse. Inclusive. Vibrant. United. Resilient. The My New York scented candle translates the spirit of the Bond No. 9 My New York fragrance into a home aroma that celebrates the city’s strength, energy, and emotional connection.
Bond No. 9 was conceived as a positive, progressive creation born during the post-9/11 period of hope and renewal. That same optimism lives within this candle, offering a way to experience the essence of New York through atmosphere and scent. Inspired by the core fragrance, the candle brings warmth, familiarity, and reflection into the space, inviting moments of calm and connection.
"I honestly never thought New York would experience a more challenging situation than 9/11," says Bond No. 9 founder and president Laurice Rahme. "It feels like the right moment to celebrate such a global, inclusive place with an equally inclusive fragrance. We've created scents for many great neighborhoods. It was about time we did something for the whole city!"
My New York evokes a magical aura of nostalgia shaped by memories spanning past, present, and future. A first kiss beneath the arch in Washington Square Park. A Sunday stroll down the Bowery. An unforgettable evening at the Metropolitan Opera. Or the simple thrill of crossing one of the iconic bridges leading into the city, watching the skyline rise closer and closer.
When lit, the My New York scented candle fills the room with a comforting, enveloping fragrance that reflects those shared experiences. It does not matter whether you are a lifelong New Yorker or experiencing the city for the first time. What matters is the feeling. That sense of arrival. That quiet certainty of belonging. That unmistakable thought of, I am home.
As many of us continue to reflect and move forward, this candle invites a personal answer to a timeless question. What is your New York?
