This structure follows Bond No. 9's current official Lafayette Street composition. The brand's broader note list also references cedarwood, but the dedicated official top, heart and base pyramid above is the most product-specific current structure.

Lafayette Street opens bright, aromatic and slightly spicy. Bergamot provides a clean citrus lift while coriander contributes a green, warm-spiced edge. Fresh floral facets keep the opening smooth rather than sharply citrus-forward.

The heart becomes warmer and more rounded as apple introduces a lightly fruity sweetness, ambroxan adds a clean amber-like texture, and vanilla softens the composition. In the drydown, dry woods and tonka bean provide warmth while grey amber gives the fragrance a smooth, polished finish.

Overall, Lafayette Street smells fresh, woody, ambery and softly sweet, with enough citrus and aromatic spice to keep its vanilla and tonka character balanced.

Lafayette Street's blend of bergamot, ambroxan, vanilla, tonka bean and woods gives it a versatile character suited to evenings, dinners, dates, social events, professional settings and polished everyday wear.

Its warmth makes fall and cooler weather particularly natural fits, while the bergamot and aromatic opening allow it to transition into spring and mild evenings as well. Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment.

A Lafayette Street sample allows you to experience how its bergamot, apple, ambroxan, vanilla, tonka bean and woody notes develop on your own skin before committing to a full-size bottle.

Sampling is particularly useful if you enjoy warm woody fragrances but want to determine how Lafayette Street's balance of freshness, vanilla sweetness and modern amber works for you. A travel-size decant also provides a convenient way to enjoy the fragrance without carrying the full retail bottle.
