[@h2008im]

Why did the price of Bond No. 9 perfume increase in 2021 and reach $150?

[@byKevinSamuels]

Riverside Drive is the most underrated of the line. Signature scent worthy, great performance. This Great Jones, Chez Bond, and to a lesser degree Central Park.

[@soldierufc2kx]

Chez Bond is crazy good!!!

[@gdeus1376]

👌🏾

[@urroyalhighness5429]

K. Samuels in this Thang!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾🖤🙏🏿

[@carlostejada145]

@kevin will you ever do fragrance reviews again ?

[@georgewhitehead9914]

Just bought a decant bottle of bond no.9 Lafayette st... I like it my son tried to take it from me as soon as he smelled it

[@LJernegan]

I am so happy to mentioned So New York. It is in my top 5 of all time. No one ever talks about it, and it is great!

[@xXplosivex187]

Wallstreet was the first Bond no. 9 I ever smelled. It's amazing! My brother owns it and he gets compliments ALL the time.

[@lorealdonae]

I’m a woman and during the winter Brooklyn gives me so many compliments

[@leonardmakai643]

You probably dont give a shit but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

[@johnnyzyaire602]

@Leonard Makai Instablaster :)

[@poncianobarrientos6810]

Wall Street is my favorite. Gets a lot of good compliments

[@johnreasinger791]

Great overview. I own over twenty. Faves: Lexington Ave, Little Italy, Brooklyn, Cooper Square. Love to see your thoughts on another NYC based house MiN for a GBUUO list...love going back to watch these oldies...JR xox

[@markpatterson2737]

I'm currently loving Wall Street! Getting great compliments on it!

[@douglashicks197]

My favorites are riverside drive ..The most amazing scent in terms of capturing the essence of aqua , beach, sunny days warm night walks along the shore very very tropial and refined adult male scent..worth full bottle price ...The must have summer frag. .....New York musk is very daring bold sneakingly seductive worth the asking price projects really well 4 or 5 sprays max last all day. This is intended for fall/ winter but plays well on cool summer days matter fact will get complimented on cool summer days.. im not a layerer but you wanna pull off a sureal magic trick , spray molecule 01 right above this scent and hold on to your hat...

[@thefragrancecritic9136]

Bond no.9 Sandlewood...is amazing and it's great for blending.. I blend it with Cartier Declaration

[@soldierufc2kx]

Wow... How does it work for you sir? I already own Declaration, which it reeks of timeless class and elegance.

[@brandoncota8132]

Cooper Square for sure. My guy wears that like a beast but it turns powdery on me. I like wall street all day every day. People don't like the seaweed base note but as a natural beach bum, I love it.

[@nickrussette6378]

I Love New York for all is a great unisex scent, reminds me of brownies or maybe a deluxe hot chocolate, nice vid Max!

[@MaxForti]

thank you

[@techt111]

Wall Street is missing, my favorite!

[@zackmack4724]

Wall Street definitely a must.

[@cherylhodges5570]

Great Info!! I'm a Newbie Bond Girl! I'm a huge fan of ambers & gourmands, tonka, but not florals except maybe a little Bergamot. So your personal review & information on these Bond 9 beauties helped me out a lot! I've been looking for a Great distenctive "Amber" Scent. So far I like Dior's Ambre Nuit & and Armani's Privé Amber, the one difference I don't like between these 2 is Armani has more of a incense smell to me. I love the dry downs on both, But I probably like Dior's Ambré a bit more. So I'm very interested in trying the Bond NO.9 Amber!! I know you mentioned it's VERY strong and long lasting, so I'll be careful not to spray too much. hopefully I'll fall in Love w/it and try a few more of the Bond NO.9 scents

[@troubledmuffin7502]

Just ordered me a bottle of Cooper Square last week, very happy to hear someone finally give it some love !

[@TheRealGally]

Thanks for the new GBUUO, Max! I think this is probably my favorite line of videos you put together, though they are all quality. I definitely echo the Chez Bond choice lacking the uniqueness to price-tag ratio. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten my nose on the line outside of a quick blitz through Saks Fifth Avenue. I'll have to revisit the house.

[@MaxForti]

Thanks

[@moetube74]

I love Bleecker street, Scent of peace for him and I love New York for all. How about doing GBUUO for Mancera, Montale or Le labo.

[@MaxForti]

thanks Maurice - definitely trying to do some of the ones you've suggested! :)

[@carameldiva7asmr415]

Magnificent. I'm thinking of purchasing "I ❤️NY for All." Thanks for sharing Gorgeous

[@matiasfava6804]

I love this kind of videos!! Good job Max! Wall Street is another nice fragance from the Brand, great for formal occasions! Your friend from Argentina, Matias.

[@MaxForti]

Gracias Matias!

[@the_pablo0792]

I’m gonna order The Scent of peace for him this Friday when I get paid 👌🏾

[@MaxForti]

Hey Pablo I have it in stock if you're interested feel free to contact me: [e-mail]

[@Nuclear8800]

What u think about ? I wanna Buy too

[@the_pablo0792]

Akmal Galiev bleecker street is better. I would say go with that one.

[@ralphstrickland9579]

Scent of peace for him is my favorite! Great video..

[@MaxForti]

Thanks

[@soldierufc2kx]

Bond No. 9... An amazing fragrance house that in my opinion deserves more attention from the community. In my humble opinion they make the greatest gender free scents in the game. I own 3 (Perfumista Avenue, NY Oud and Shelter Island). My GF owns Chinatown (amazing scent!) and I have smelled and sampled about 15, mostly the ones leaning towards the female side. In my opinion, one of the best niche houses in the game. My favorite BN9 scent so far is NY Oud... An amazing rose/oud combo that is just to die for. Great video Mr. Forti!

[@coleman2586]

Jonathan Rios perfumista is absolutley a womans fragrance.

[@mammenaley]

Enjoyed the video...acquired Chinatown this year n am loving it.

[@troysmythe6315]

I'm headed to NYC in a couple of weeks and this helped me figure out the Bonds I want to try at the boutique. I have Cooper Square- a compliment beast for me in dry, cool months. New Harleem mixed with Scent of Piece for Him is also a big compliment getter. My wild card currently is Bond 9 Signature. It's one of those I'm cool on but that gets compliments from my boss (a woman). It's super strong. I spray 2 sprays under my clothes. Manhattan and Lexington Avenue are both beautiful (even if more feminine) perfumes, but they burn off me in no time flat on my skin. Not sure why.

[@likeris2]

i love Chez Bond and Scent of peace for him.

[@davidgibson4411]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! MUCH OF MY COLLECTION COMES FROM WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL

[@jenerra11]

Sent of piece for him smells a lot better than sent of piece. I absolutely love Greenwich Village and Coney Island.

[@bredwine5]

Thanks for the shout out to the underrated Silver Bond. I much prefer the original Silver Factory, but it's still a great scent. Another sadly discontinued fragrance to get before it's gone: I Love New York Marriage Equality. It's a great soft, woody, spicy, very masculine fragrance with notable cedar and patchouli. If you haven't gotten it yet, the new Sutton Place is phenomenal. I can best describe it as the best of Riverside Drive and Cooper Square (two of my favorites) together in one fragrance. Maybe their best yet.

[@dreww1818]

Thanks for the review, Max. Bleecker St is definitely a great fragrance. As well, i thought Wall Street is a great fragrance. Enjoyed this video.

[@MaeSekou]

My latest pick-ups are Scent Of Peace and Manhattan. I love them dearly. I also like Bleeker Street and Perfumista

[@richie_b-1234]

Riverside Drive always reminded me of Green Irish Tweed and Creed's Millesime Imperial had a baby. I see resemblances/hints of both those scents in Riverside Drive.

[@joesalinas1491]

just ordered the scent of peace. i tried it in stores last me about 7 hours on my skin defiantly my fav

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Love Chez...smells amazing.

[@CC33777]

Scent of Peace for Him, New Harlem, Riverside Drive very nice. IMO the most Underrated Bond No 9 has to be Great Jones, a very classic smelling men's fragrance. And yes Great Jones does smell like vintage Paco Rabanne pour Homme as well.

[@EVERETTOVERTON]

Nice trim on the head. Accentuates your bone structure. Keep going to this barber/stylist

[@cyber6sapien]

EXCELLENT video as usual! I really don't get what the big deal was with New Haarlem. I tried a sample and it was nothing special. Bleecker Street is amazing though!

[@jhors7777]

Thanks for posting this Max!!

[@gabrielgarcia7561]

One I've just been testing is new york musk, and it has oud in it. Extremely underrated

[@1mil-ebeatz599]

Chez & Cooper Sq are my favorites so far

[@keelyleilani1326]

Scent of Peace is the only wearable one for me. Pretty much the same genre as designers like Bleu, Sauvage, or ADG Profumo. But for a much higher price. If you are lucky you'll find it on Fragrancenet for about $150 and if you do buy it immediately because they sell out quick.

[@allenburgess6314]

Love the pocket square.

[@MaxForti]

Thanks Allen ;)

[@USAisLife]

Hi Max! I live out in San Diego, and Bond No. 9, Montauk is perfect for the weather out here. It's one of my absolute favorites from this fragrance house and I get lots of compliments.

[@DeMerJewelry]

Chris Kovacs I'm also in SD and it can be rough to find stuff that works in this particular climate. What kind of projection and longevity do you get with it?

[@chickboy359]

Hey fellow San Diegans! Bleecker St and Scent of Peace for Him works perfectly in our weather too! And btw,Diptyque in Nordstrom Fashion Valley is having a Master Class this coming Nov 18 from 6-7pm. Diptyque rep will be talking about raw materials and the new Rose Garden line. Freebies/gifts will be given as token for just showing up. Just a heads up in case you wanna check it out.

[@USAisLife]

Hey, Patrick! Thanks for the heads up man. That sounds awesome. I'll try to check it out. Were you planning on attending as well?

[@USAisLife]

Hi, Jake! Yeah, man I agree. Sometimes longevity is an issue in the hotter months. But I've had pretty good success with longevity from this cologne. I've never worn it in the hottest part of summer, but I get anywhere from 6-8 solid hours from it. I actually think the heat helps it radiate outward. I wore this to a recent film festival in La Jolla and it lasted from the late afternoon all the way through the night. Absolutely no one was wearing anything like it, and I received multiple compliments. I'd try to smell it first though, if you're planning on purchasing it. I love it, but I can see where some people might not like it all that much.

[@chickboy359]

Hey Chris! Planning to if I'm free that day.

[@nelsonwynne2731]

Wall street's, viking,and Cooper Square, yes!!!

[@dwpolicelli1]

Max I just got Cooper Sq. for a great price. Amazing fragrance and a beautiful bottle.

[@jaciradasilva3657]

Excellent Video Max!

[@otis83]

I haven't sniffed very many Bonds, but I do like Bleeker Street. Thanks, Max!

[@carolynmasterson4689]

You need to try Governor’s Island !! It’s creamy sweet , Tobacco notes will put you in a trance !!

[@TheBottomNote]

Glad you like ILNY4ALL. One of my personal favorites.

[@LJernegan]

I wear Little Italy more than any other Bond because it is so easy to wear.

[@944play]

And it's great for layering. I use it to sweeten up the sourish Versace Pour Homme.

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

Hey Max great review as always,I was wondering if you get a chance can you do a review on Bond No 9 Signature Scent and let us know if you think it leans more feminine or masculine,much appreciated my man....

[@HenryPerez_royal_hp]

the only fragrance from this house that got my attention is SOPFH and NH, that's it. it just doesn't tickle my feathers

[@brucesavage9929]

Chinatown............my wife’s favorite fragrance from Bond, and does she smell like a million bucks when she wears it.

[@TigreJoe1994]

hi max I would like to hear the GBUUO from the house of le labo, thanks and merry Christmas.

[@denicetapper]

Perfumista Avenue is my favorite luv it....

[@dominion104]

Bryant Park is great too!!! It's underrated and you should try it. I just got introduced to Bond 9. Anyone want to tell me the best 3 scents to wear for men?

[@BillyMillz]

Central Park the original for summer, New York oud for colder months and riverside drive for everything in between

[@riskdesigns]

I have to say manhattan is an amazing fragrance that gets my vote for a try ;)

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

What kind of scent is it????

[@lesgenjepremium]

What do you think about I love NewYork 7-24-11 Marriage Equality ?

[@pedromolina7737]

Bleecker St. was the only worth buying due to its scent/versatility/performance, for me... That's taking into account the year round weather of the area of the country where I live... Ralph Lauren Purple Label shares similarities...

[@crystaldiamond1418]

cooper square is one of my favorites. very underated

[@Tucansam08]

Really like Bleecker St 2 . I recieved a 5 ml sample of Bond No 9 manhattan to me this is a christmas gourmond scent with plum gingerbread . Would be interested to see what you think Thanks for the review

[@MOT7S]

My favorite of this house is Bond no.9 New York Oud

[@Guinea54]

Great video.. can't say I have tried many bond 9's.. The two liked were new harlem, and I love ny for all..

[@MaxForti]

both are awesome gourmands and great for the colder days of the year...

[@Guinea54]

Max Forti Yeah my opinion stinks to, i only tried a few.. Little italy, uhh.. riverside drive, and a couple of others i forgot. I always wanted to try brooklyn and bleeker st.

[@anthonypagan349]

Bleecker St is the only one I've tried and owned, but there are several other Bonds I'd like to try. I'd like to see a GBUUO on Montale and Maison Francis Kurkdjian line.

[@MaxForti]

thank you for the suggestions Anthony!

[@georgeu1397]

Luv Bleecker, also Coney and Chez...

[@IndyTroy]

Totally with you on Cooper Square as most underrated. It gets me compliments. And more importantly I love it as I did the early Calvin which iwould still pay a lot for if I could find it. I get many compliments when I mix one part Scent of Peace forHim with 2 or 3 parts New Haarlem especially in winter. What are your other underrateds? I still love Nuits de Noho. I want to try Bleeker ST. and Brooklyn.

[@MaxForti]

Thanks Troy - HOT always and Great Jones are pretty amazing too!

[@brianelswick7374]

The only Bond No 9 I own is Wall Street. The others I have tried simply haven't grabbed me.

[@gdeus1376]

I’m a big fan of green Irish tweed but not that price lol. I bought two bottles of chez bond, a bottle of scent of peace and signature which is a amazing and unique scent. Sad I can’t find riverside dr any more.

[@brucesavage9929]

Personally, I wear Brooklyn and love it!

[@mirajpatel9057]

Where do you buy the testers from? Do you have any particular websites or stores you prefer to buy Bond no. 9 from?

[@MaxForti]

Hey Miraj, I seel bond myself - if you want more details feel free to email: [e-mail]

[@MattD86]

Do you still like the house as much now, Max?

[@hikmatsherafridi8569]

Great video & Bleecker Street & Great Jones for me.

[@SpaceDog75]

Chez Bond reminds me of high school and has the scent of Davidoff Cool Water.. wasn't my thing for current times, especially for the asking price.

[@rafaelbalarezo4059]

Hi Max, well done video, I always want to stop and sniff this brand with this video I will go directly to the Good and Underrated but I read about New York Oud which is missing in this video. Also I would love your opinion of these brands. Armani, By Kilian, Nasomatto and the latest or currents from Tom Ford. GBUUO! Thanks

[@MaxForti]

some great suggestions - thanks Rafael!

[@soldierufc2kx]

I got a sample of NY Oud... My God!!!!! I am getting a bottle pretty soon.

[@DeMerJewelry]

This is the best GBUUO yet! If you love bleeker st, do yourself a favor and try L'ombre Dans L'eau from Dyptique. It's really elegant and feels like a more grown up version of Bleeker to me. Max, I would love to see a GBUUO on the following: Boadicea the Victorious, Montale/Mancera, Profumum Roma, Dyptique, MDCI, Agonist, and Slumberhouse.

[@DeMerJewelry]

Oh and Nasomatto please!

[@MaxForti]

thank you for the suggestions... I will work on them! ;)

[@saabreplay7553]

I love your vid. New Haarlem is my fav. Keep doing your thing Max. Andy

[@MaxForti]

thanks Saab, I appreciate it!

[@Brehon_TalkingFinance]

New York Oud is a stunning fragrance!

[@Mal-bt6ko]

Nice list, can't believe you dont have Montauk.

[@themagicalfox6]

which one would be great for me since I love stronger, feminine, sweet gourmand scents? so far I'm already liking the sound of Westside and So New York,

[@johnmika4579]

Hi where do you recommend we buy bonds at a discount but still fresh batches and not old stock? Thanks John. I’m looking for chez bond

[@MaxForti]

Hello John, feel free to email me at: [e-mail] and I'll be happy to assist.

[@OsAbliNgin911]

I love NY for All was discontinued. Do you still have it in your collection? Been replaced with Bond no 9 Bond St. The notes are very similar.

[@Leedoggie6677]

Just got Brooklyn. I love it

[@kokocho217]

Great video Max well I love Andy Warhol I got a decant from you I wish I would've bought more juice from you.

[@StellaSteve80]

FINALLY!. ive been waiting for you to take on this house. great video. ive got to get me some samples now. How would you rate these as a top 5?

[@MaxForti]

thanks, sure - from the ones I own, right now I'd say: Andy Warhol, Cooper Square, I love NY for All, HOT always and Great Jones are the ones I am really digging at this time!

[@StellaSteve80]

Max Forti yeah, i wanted the Andy Warhol one. i know they discontinued it for the name licence, but it was very popular. i dont get why they dont just rerelease it under a different name. i will have to sample the others you mentioned. i have New Haarlem, so im sure id like I Love NY for All. I had never heard of Hot Always, but that interests me too.

[@giovannibrito7]

for me the best smelling Cologne personally is the unixes colognes because is kinda they mix the perfume fragrance of the woman with the men Cologne & impact any one nose like wolverine or like a dog chasing his bone!

[@RichMitch]

I've just ordered cooper square. can't find anything about it anywhere! which is kinda nice in a way and i found it cheap online! 💃

[@h2008im]

Why did the price of Bond No. 9 perfume increase in 2021 and reach $150?

[@ushawngooding1295]

the one that I notice that is not there is Bond No 9 New York Oud. I heard really good things on that one

[@joanmorera7452]

New York Saldalwood deffo worth a try

[@fragrancemafia1778]

Hi Max, can you please do a review of H.O.T Always ?...I want to blind buy but theres no vids where i can make an opinon of whether or not its a safe blind buy....Also, can you give a few comparisons.

[@mikewilkins2030]

I just bought Riverside drive and Liberty and they gave me a scent of piece bottle for free! it doesn't have the full presentation like your bottle. what does that mean? is it just a refill bottle?

[@Shanester66]

I own quite a few of these buggers...I would have to say my 3 favs are NY Oud, Bleecker and Riverside...Brooklyn is good too...equally I a few of them are on my all time worst smelling fragrances...lol Coney Island, Wall St and New Harlem all BAD, to my nose.

[@pjacksone]

I don't have any Bond fragrances, they are so expensive and none of the perfume subscription services carry them. I'm scared to try them for fear of being hooked but the bottles are everything. Any help in getting these for budget conscious people?

[@bredwine5]

Your best bet is to save up and buy in bulk when Bond has it's "Refill Event" twice a year. Basically, the deal is you can buy two and get one free. Still expensive, but that's 33% off!

[@themagicalfox6]

they sell testers for less on fragrancenet, fragrancex and lily direct, they don't have caps or the fancy boxes but it is the real deal and eBay also carries them for less( from experience they're safe to buy online from discount perfume sites)

[@pjacksone]

dakitsu luna thanks so much 👍🏾

[@themagicalfox6]

no problem :) anytime

[@mammenaley]

The other bond no 9 I hv is Wall Street....n it is an interesting one.

[@davidsugar2040]

The only one I have is Brooklyn to me it smells like sweet tart. Candies lol I find it hard to find new harrlem on the discounted stores

[@sirreginaldlee3576]

Can't find "I love NY" anywhere..not even on the bond no. 9 site

[@keilarb55]

Chinatown is my favorite Bond no. 9

[@victorcoutinho408]

New Harleem finishes a bit Ashy on my skin, wich is not great... I like the Coffee, cinnamon initial blast though, but I end up smelling like an ashtray within 2 Hours.

[@lalad5220]

my favorite now is the new one, "new york nights"!! a soft caramel! my other favorite is definitely "madison square park", tons of compliments. i also love the black pepper and gardenia in "central park west". "queens" smells like grape juice, can't go wrong:) "chez bond" is definitely for men only. "chinatown" is nice, but too common to pay that price. my greenest one is "central park". and "i love new york for the holidays" was my first bond purchase.
