My love for trivia compells me to post trivia upon you, just in case you're interested. Recently, when I was purchasing Park Avenue at Saks, the SA gave me literature about the inspiration of the scent, Bryant Park. Bryant Park is a lovely park now, but the retro design of the bottle seems to aim at taking the wearer to a different era within the many incarnations of the Park. The SA urged me to read the brochure because it's so interesting. It is, indeed, so I thought I'd share some of what was highlighed in the marketing:
The Park has a fascinating history. It has existed as public land since 1686, and was traversed by George Washington's troups in 1776. It was a potter's field (cemetery for unidentified bodies) in the early 1800s and during the Civil War, the army held militia drills there. The park was the site of the Crystal Palace Exhibition at the World's Fair in 1853. In 1884 the park was named Bryant Park in honor of William Cullen Bryant, the civic reformer. There's a lot more... http://www.bryantpark.org/history/reservoir-square.php
I think it's great that the Bond SA shared NY's history, rather than push Bryant Park as only the scent of Fashion Week and WiFi.
And the Bryant Park fragrance is awfully appealing...unique and full of personality; but its scent doesn't necessarily connote current fashion. It's more like the timeless fashion of coy prettiness.
