If you're not familiar with " target="new">Bond No 9, then you definitely need a quick crash course in this amazing fragrance brand that not only has amazing notes but also embraces elements of NYC! I love that with 34 scents for men and women and yes a unisex one as well - this is the perfect way to embrace all the scents of New York! Now with so many scents available, it's also important to enjoy the fact that the bottles are just as gorgeous as the aroma! These bottles are collectibles without a doubt and for me there are two scents that are definitely worth highlighting! Astor Place is not only one of my favorite places in the city, but I love the fact that my favorite Starbucks is in the area and I'm not too far from my fave bars. Astor Place is definitely about the arts between amazing pieces and of course fab music as well. My favorite note is the mix of Freesia and Teakwood. This is a fragrantly playful mix of a sweet/dense combination. When it comes to all that is truly playful and doesn't have to explain how it all comes together - you definitely want to enjoy Brooklyn. Wherever you're from and wherever you're heading this combination of scents is always perfect whether you're heading out to work or simply going to your favorite brunch spot! Regardless of which scent you choose, Bond No 9 has proven that you'll always find what you're looking for or what it is that you're trying to convey!

I am a huge candle person and much like I change my decor to match the season, I do the same with my scents. I have been a Yankee Candle Company girl since my first college apartment! So this morning as I see the most gorgeous sky ever compared to yesterdays windy and then horribly rainy day, I began to think about the aromas that must be used within our condo during the fall season (anytime between now and Thanksgiving - then of course you have to change again). Fall reminds me of crisp air, crunchy leaves, warm beverages and so much more. So here are some ideas that you may know of and those that you never thought of! Happy Sunday and can you believe that this will be the last week of Oct??
