Notes

Citrus Zest

This is citrus in its purest form—zesty, vibrant, and uplifting. It adds brilliance and energy without sweetness.

Black Pepper

Warm and spicy with a dry, woody edge, black pepper adds a subtle heat that awakens the senses and deepens the fragrance’s complexity.

White Lillies

Fresh and radiant with a soft, heady aroma, white lilies infuse the scent with refined floral warmth and a quietly powerful presence.

Algae Extract

Algae extract adds a whisper of sea air and a dewy freshness that softens and energizes the scent. It is derived from various types of algae, including red, brown, blue-green, and green algae.

Sandalwood

Creamy and slightly sweet, sandalwood smooths every blend it touches with a soft, milky woodiness and quiet strength.

Oud

Smoky and rich, it anchors the fragrance with bold sensuality. A rare, resinous wood that brings depth, warmth, and an unmistakable air of luxury.

About us

BOND NO. 9 SHELTER ISLAND

A Garden by the Sea

Shelter Island, spanning 27 square miles between the North and South Forks, is a haven of natural beauty with meandering creeks, wandering deer, and stately Queen Anne and Colonial Revival homes. This tranquil island is our Summer ’14 beach scent, launching on counters for Memorial Day. Shelter Island is a place where life moves slowly. The speed limit never exceeds 35 miles per hour, and even the elegant Sunset Beach Hotel maintains the island’s relaxed charm, more serene than nearby Sag Harbor. Historically, this area offered sanctuary to the Manhasset Indians, sugar merchants, Quakers, and fish processors.

The Shelter Island fragrance captures the magic of this extraordinary location. It is the world’s first marine oud, a unisex scent that combines the precious and alluring oud with algae extract for a refreshing, nautical touch. Top notes feature sparkling citrus zest and freshly ground pepper, delivering a lively and invigorating opening. The heart unfolds with soft white lilies and bracing, briny algae extract, evoking the sensation of a seaside garden. Base notes of sandalwood, amber, myrrh, and musk create warmth and depth, while the oud provides a signature richness reminiscent of the Eastern tradition of scenting lapels for intimate greetings. Shelter Island fragrance is an effortlessly elegant blend, reflecting the island’s serene sophistication and subtle exoticism.

My signature fragrance

"I love this fragrance, I have been wearing it for years. I always get compliments. I love the scent of Gardena. I also prefer the body butter, it last long. I can wear this day or evening. Waitlisted for my 3rd purchase."

— Robbin (5/5)

My one true love

"I smelled this in a Bazaar Magazine on the bus. I couldn't stop smelling it. I received a couple of samples at Saks. I have never smelled anything like this. It made me feel so happy, and festive. It has a way of staying on ones mind. It has taken me a long time to get it. I never forgot about it. It could definitely be my signature. I had never even thought about having a signature scent before B#9 Madison Avenue. It is that amazing."
