By the editors · 2 min readNew Bond St. opens with a green-stem lily of the valley over bergamot — a cool, almost watery brightness that reads more spring-courtyard than summer-citrus.
Then the heart turns: cocoa and coffee bloom into a dry, dusted-bittersweet middle, the kind that smells more like an espresso bar's air than a dessert. The early floral doesn't disappear so much as dissolve into the cocoa, lending it a soft talc edge.
Sandalwood and patchouli ground the drydown, and a measured vanilla rounds the bitterness into something cocooning rather than gourmand. Cool-weather wear; reads grown-up and sneakily comforting, the kind of trail people lean in to identify.
