Why We Carry This

Wall Street is Bond No. 9 at its most direct about who the fragrance is for and what it wants to project. The tobacco-leather combination here is among the house's strongest, backed by a vetiver base that earns its place.

Launched: 2004

Grapefruit and bergamot open cleanly before black pepper signals a change in register. The heart belongs to leather and tobacco, the combination dry and serious in a way that reflects the address the bottle wears. Violet in the heart provides a brief softening that the tobacco quickly reclaims. Vetiver and sandalwood in the base hold the drydown steady, amber giving it warmth without sweetness.
