Central Park West
Mandarin and bergamot open softly, lemon giving the top a gentle sharpness before the amber takes hold in the heart. Jasmine and rose surround the amber without obscuring it, the florals here functioning as a frame rather than the subject. Vanilla and sandalwood in the base are warm and considered, cedarwood giving the finish a clean structure that keeps the sweetness from becoming heavy.
Why We Carry This
Central Park West is among the most gracefully resolved amber fragrances in the Bond No. 9 catalog. The vanilla-sandalwood base sits behind rather than in front of the jasmine heart, which gives the whole composition an elegance the bolder releases forgo.
