It is pretty, but only wore it once very quickly so haven't decided anything about it at all.

Whenever I think of an NYC "runway/fashion week" theme, I always imagine Calvin Klein-esque stuff blowing off the runway, circa. 1992-93---and Versace and Chanel scents wafting from the audience. All chic and a little austere, but with hints of spicy flair evident. I'll need to test Bond no. 9's newbie and see how their interpretation compares to how I imagined it. Thanks for always updating us on new goodies! I'm pleased to hear that “Bryant Park” is lighter than what I anticipated.

Will try to review it soon... Yes, it isn't really what I expected from the description. Will try to review it soon…

Very breezy and clean, and the patch is subtle to say the least. Those were my exact impressions when I smelled it too, Robin! Very breezy and clean, and the patch is subtle to say the least.

There is a review already at Perfume Smellin' Things blog if you want to read one!

I suppose the rose/patchouli combo will feel very vintage in a flower-child way; Although, I would've expected them to produce a bottle that was a little more similar to "Fire Island" (I think of Vogue fashion spreads of the late 60's/early 70's...more Olivia Hussey and Mia Farrow, than Audrey Hepburn and Suzy Parker). The bottle also reminds me more of "Exclamation" by Coty than something like "Soir de Paris"--which is what I would have associated with the marketing. I suppose "Hamptons" already looks enough like that. I could see this as smelling very much like Givenchy's “Haute Couture” mixed with artsy oil blends (sort of like “Very Irresistible”, as well).

I have only worn it once, and didn't find it sweaty at all, but not sure yet what I think of it. K, Marina has a review of it on Perfume Smellin' Things today.

I love rose and patchouli together, but the overlay of fruit has me worried. Red fruits in particular seem to bring out the sweaty side of patch. Ohhhh, how interesting!
