According to Bond No. 9:
Its name, Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue, recalls the artist’s formative pre-Pop years in 1950s New York, when he lived in the first of several apartments on Lexington Avenue and plied his trade as a prolific illustrator—mainly of imaginative shoes. Hence the Warhol-designed mélange of exclamation-point heels and high-button boots that covers the flacon. Lush and unapologetically seductive, Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue dares (perhaps for the first time in perfumery) to link two of the most ultra-feminine commodities a woman can own: fragrance and footwear.
The scent is a floral-woody-chypre containing notes of peony, orris, patchouli, sandalwood, cardamom, fennel, almonds, cumin, and even crème brulee.
Bond No. 9's Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue is available from September 2008 at Bond No. 9 stores and stockists. Eau de Pafum: $195 for 100ml; $135 for 50ml
