Thread Starter 
Five fragrances from Bond no. 9 had to be given new names and new packaging after the collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation ended/fell through.



Andy Warhol Silver Factory is now Bond Silver

Andy Warhol Union Square is Union Square

Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue is Lexington Avenue



Andy Warhol Success is a Job in New York is now Success is the Essence of New York
(Wow, that name went from clunky to obnoxious)

Andy Warhol Montauk is Montauk

The top bottle looks great. I assume that's the new bottle for Silver...? I wonder if they'll relaunch the scent simply titled Andy Warhol. That one tempted me.

Last I heard, but don't hold me to it, they were going to kill that one. My guess if they do, they'll tweak it a bit and re-releasing.

Absolutely LOVE that new Silver Factory bottle. Purple and silver, two of my fave colors. And a bond that isn't garish. What are the chances of both of those happening together?!

Don't understand the love for the new silver bottle. It's basically the same as before without the sticker. I personally have and like the bottle design as before because it references something iconic and is unique in the line-up

Interesting they dumped the Andy Warhol scent (the one with his face on it...that has a prominent plum note). I believe it came out fairly recently. I own it but rarely wear it.

I kinda liked the Andy Warhol thing a little better.

Makes no difference either way, but I think I like the new versions of the bottles better.

None of the Warhol offerings tempted me...This whole house is strange, I am in love with the projection and longevity of the House as a whole, but most of their offerings are bland, or worse. I finally discovered NY Amber and NY Musk, and bought full bottles, but the rest...too artificial/chemical. Silver Factory was OK...

What's up with ditching Andy Warhol's name for multiple frags or w/e?

 

Also, I have Andy Warhol Success is a Job in New York, which may have changed to Success is the Essence of New York..

 

HOWEVER

 

Did it also get reformulated? From a page (not from a page to add to cart, as that might not even be there/live anymore) on the official website for the Andy Warhol one:

"Its spicy-citrussy top- notes—coriander, cardamom, mandarin, bergamot—lead into a throbbing heart of jasmine, tuberose, rose, plum and pimento (of all things) that eventually segues into an oriental base of vanilla, patchouli, and amber."

 
 
And then, for the non-Andy Warhol one:
Notes: Bergamot, Cardamon Seed, Mandarin, Coriander, Nutmeg, Pimento, Tuberose, Rose de Mai, Jasmine, Forbidden Plum, Iris, Patchouli, Benzoin and Vanilla
 
(I'm not sure what was/is on the buy page for the Andy Warhol type, maybe it was/is the same notes).
 
Thoughts?
