Basenotes says...
From the Bond No. 9 press release: "What more fitting locale than Harlem, legendary for its on-the-edge verve, to riff on our lush, lingering, intoxicating brew of bergamot, cedarwood, coffee, vanilla, patchouli, and lavender? If George Gershwin had been a perfumer, these are the notes he'd have used for this burnished perfume rhapsody. A stunning about-face after the light splash-scents of the past decade, New Haarlem captures the out-on-the-town elegance and the proud, bold independence of one of the great neighborhoods of New York---and the world. It's also our entre nous way of thanking the rap musicians and rock artists who've come downtown to buy Bond No. 9's original fragrances. With New Haarlem, Bond No. 9 returns the favor. "

 | I just took back my chez and exchanged it for this scent. I liked chez, but I also have riverside drive and wanted somthing diff. I like these types of scents(new harlem) and wore it today, but I will wait for colder weather to wear this again. I like the Bond No. 9 line and give this a thumbs up. Sum it up a heavy sweet warm scent, perfect for a cold night. 10 June 2009 |
   | The marketing blurbs go on about musicians and cool stuff. This is what I got instead: a Finnish coffee shop with a mug of filter coffee by the cup that's been left on the hotplate for a little bit too long, so you start getting the burnt/metallic edge to it. Next to your cup of coffee, you have a huge freshly made cinnamon bun (korvapuusti), still warm from the oven. That is the scent, from beginning to almost the very end, until patchouli and vanilla begin to dominate and the coffee/cinnamon elements have almost vanished. This has worn well on my skin, but I imagine it would smell lovely on a man too. Feels nicely unisex and just inedible enough not to cross the line to sickly. Incredible! New Haarlem = kahvi ja pulla (coffee & bun)! I do like it a lot and keep sniffing it because it's entertaining, but I don't know whether I'd want to smell of a Finnish coffee shop with cinnamon buns. It's certainly a lot of fun - and for me, being from Finland originally, a touch of welcome (if completely accidental) nostalgia. 28 April 2009 |
 |  The top notes are bitter and harsh. This coffee is burnt. Rochas Man is smoother and nicer to wear -- won't cost you an arm and a leg either.20 April 2009 |

|  It really does smell like sweetened coffee candy or caramel butterscotch chews. Personally I don't want to smell like sweetened coffee candy, but you might. Staying power is amazing. Couldn't scrub it off in 2 washings. I can't really knock it just because I don't like it, so it gets the sideways thumb from me.29 March 2009 |

| I really enjoy this one. I have worn Rochas Man for many years now and it had been my daily wear mostly in the colder months (I switch over to something more bright during warmer weather). This, as has been mentioned a couple of times already, is very similar to Rochas. Among all the softer gourmand parts of the fragrance, the same as Rochas, is a single sharp note which I pick up as a green mossy scent. Rochas Man doesn't have this one element. Does it make a tremendous difference? Not really. They both are fabulous fragrances. Longevity is good though like all gourmands you shouldn't apply it with a heavy hand unless you want to smell more like a kitchen instead of an enticement. It is a lot pricier than Rochas so if you want the style but need to save the bucks, Rochas Man is a very good choice. I wear them both. I will keep using the Rochas Man because it was there first and I am a loyal customer. New Haarlam is a well done elaboration. -T 19 March 2009 |
