Andy Warhol

Why Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol Has a Following

Certain fragrances build reputations quietly, through consistent word of mouth rather than advertising spend. Andy Warhol is that kind of fragrance — an EDP from Bond No. 9 with a Fruity, Woody, Sweet, Floral composition that has earned serious advocates in fragrance communities worldwide. Here is why, in scores rather than superlatives.

A tribute to pop art royalty, blending vibrant fruit accords with sophisticated resinous depth.

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Andy Warhol opens with Bergamot, Plum and Apple — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Give it twenty or thirty minutes and the middle act arrives: Jasmine, Peony, Rose and Patchouli. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Sandalwood, Vanilla, Olibanum and Musk.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Fruity, Woody, Sweet, Floral — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
