Bond No. 9 – Andy Warhol´s Success is a job in New York

A bright new star in the New York skies

In view of the fact that nothing could be more elusive than money – particularly in our current economic downturn – Bond No. 9 made cash the inspiration and focus for the latest in its series of collectible Andy Warhol eaux de parfum. So we have the pleasure and honour to present the world’s first money-oriented perfume!

The fragrance...
The scent of Success is a job in New York is genderless – just like money. A rich and beckoning, warm and spicy gourmand. And just like money, it lures and intoxicates all who give it a sniff.  Its spicy-citrussy top- notes (coriander, cardamom, mandarin, bergamot) lead into a throbbing heart of jasmine, tuberose, rose, plum and pimento that eventually segues into an oriental base of vanilla, patchouli, and amber.

...the bottle and the design...
On both sides of the bottle appears an image of one of Andy Warhol’s iconic subjects, the almighty dollar sign created by Warhol in 1981.  The Warhol image that was chosen for the bottle is not the typical banker’s dollar sign.  Instead, this one has an in-your-face, trembling quality, dripping with paint and with seemingly tentative border outlines revealed – as if uncovering the connection between art and money.  The colours (tongue-in-cheek neons – in fashion this fall, by the way...) wich were selected from the Warhol series of Dollar Signs in 1981, are unorthodox, too: coral for the front of the bottle, bright blue for the back.

... and, finally: the exceptional name
Andy Warhol’s first assignment in the ‘50s as an illustrator was for a Glamour magazine article entitled “Success is a Job in New York.”  The title was later used for a book about Warhol’s early career. And finally, in 2009, it was perpetuated as a fragrance by Bond No. 9 – and probably as one of the longest and most exceptional names in the history of perfume...
