New Haarlem (2003)
by Bond No. 9

Love the coffee note in this one. It takes over right away as the lavender and bergamot leave quickly. I get some spices in there as well. Closely resembles Rochas man. But this is on another level. Another great fragrance from Maurice Roucel. highly suggest for anyone looking for coffee mocha vibe.

This fragrance is AWESOME...TF Tobacco Vanille has met it's match.
This is officially my new favorite smoky vanilla scent.
The coffee in it is so great.

EDIT:

After sampling a majority of the bond scents, I can say with pride that this is definitely the best masculine fragrance they have to offer. I think I'm changing my mind about it being better than TF's TB...it's a close one that's for sure. I've also found that layering this with Hermes Terre works amazingly well...Terre on the bottom, splash of new harlem on top. MM smells so good.

New Haarlem is a superb woody oriental fragrance designed by the esteemed Maurice Roucel. Roucel also created the wonderful Rochas Man. I do not consider these two fragrances to be clones. New Haarlem is all about coffee, dark rich coffee exquisitely paired with a lavender-maple syrup accord and a cedarwood note that is a very effective bridge between the primary accords, while simultaneously providing a sturdy base for the entire structure. Rochas Man is centered on a lavender-chocolate accord, with a faint coffee sidekick. I agree with others that as the dry down occurs, New Haarlem more closely resembles Rochas Man. However, in the end, the the rich coffee note and how it gracefully interweaves with the vanilla note is what makes New Haarlem work so well. New Haarlem is a relatively complex scent, certainly more so than Rochas Man. I can't think of a more delicious gourmand than New Haarlem, although I'm open to suggestions, as I know they are legion.

smells really sweet. i do smell lavender but after the first 2 minutes, it becomes very feint where you can only smell it if your nose is on the skin. i smell cinnamon all throughout the whole day but its somewhat light. i smell maple syrup more than anything but in a good way. i can see why some people wouldn't like this due to it being pretty heavy but in my opinion i would only wear this on a cold day. longevity is 10+ hours easy. projection is nothing amazing but still better than most (i only have the sample vial so that could affect the projection.)

definitely worth sampling if you like cinnamon rolls or pancakes even though its more complex than that.

I'm dissapointed. Some people sompare this fragrance with Rochas Man. They have some similarities but Rochas Man is a lot better in my oppinion and also alooooot cheaper. I was searching for New Haarlem sample very hard but now I can see that I expected way too much. I think some note in New Haarlem bothers me a lot and thats why I don't like it.

This fragrance is like having thick maple syrup poured onto your skin that has a funky coffee vibe. It's way to sweet and very cloying and makes you feel uncomfortable. Rochas Man is so much better and lighter without the thick syrupy feel to it
