This is actually a new product launch alert from the luxury perfume house, Bond No. 9...<BR/><BR/>I am pleased to announce the launch of our 2 newest fragrances... Saks Fifth Avenue For Her and Saks Fifth Avenue for Him. <BR/><BR/>Please contact me at contactus@bondno9.com should you be interested in receiving samples and/or additional information. <BR/> <BR/>Thanks; I look forward to hearing your thoughts! <BR/><BR/>With best regards, <BR/>Eléna Cattafi <BR/>eCommerce Marketing Manager<BR/>www.bondno9.com<BR/><BR/> <BR/>Enclosure: Press Release...<BR/><BR/>When New York’s Iconic Luxury Specialty Store Meets Luxury New York Perfumer, <BR/><BR/>the Results are Bond No. 9’s Saks Fifth Avenue for Him... <BR/><BR/>and Saks Fifth Avenue for Her—Firsts in the New Genre of Retail Eaux de Parfum<BR/><BR/>(Launch date: September 1st 2007)<BR/><BR/>Saks Fifth Avenue and Bond No. 9 jointly announce the debut of Saks Fifth Avenue for Him, along with its partner scent, Saks Fifth Avenue for Her. This is the first time a specialty store has ever commissioned a perfumery to design scents, marking the start of a bold new direction in upscale retailing and a new genre in luxury fragrances.<BR/><BR/>It is fitting that Saks, which for years has defined New York retail elegance, turned to Bond No. 9, the highly praised creator of artisanal New York neighborhood scents, to develop two fragrances that treat Saks, the iconic destination store located in the heart of Fifth Avenue, as an ultra-sophisticated neighborhood unto itself—one that has long played a role in defining the world’s most sophisticated super-city. <BR/><BR/>Deborah Walters, Senior Vice President and General Merchandise Manager, Cosmetics and Fragrances, Saks Fifth Avenue said, “Saks Fifth Avenue is excited to be collaborating with Bond No. 9 on Saks Fifth Avenue for Him and Saks Fifth Avenue for Her. This will allow our customer across the country to experience the quintessential Saks Fifth Avenue scent. Everyone here at Saks is thrilled to be a part of such a unique fragrance collection of New York neighborhoods and feel it is such an honor to have two scents dedicated to our New York flagship.”<BR/><BR/>Saks Fifth Avenue for Her signals the return of the classic gardenia eau de parfum, given a chic contemporary twist with the addition of sparkling jasmine and vetiver, along with smooth vanilla. This all-white bouquet captures the fashion-forward essence of 21st century Saks, while at the same time expressing the eclectic downtown spirit of NoHo-based Bond No. 9.<BR/><BR/>Saks Fifth Avenue for Him is an elegant aqua scent, containing an initial dash of Sicilian bergamot for coolness, followed by cardamom, amber, and cedarwood for warmth. What gives this eau de parfum its metro-modernity is the addition of notes that are new to luxury perfumes: a marine accord … fiery chilis … seductive incense … soothing guaiac wood from South America. This blend of classic and contemporary reflect the eclectic downtown spirit and style of NoHo-based Bond No. 9.<BR/><BR/>The flacon design displays the retailer’s vibrant new white-on-black logo--one of many examples of Saks turning to its venerable past in order to energize its future. As depicted on everything from shopping bags to the store’s Fifth Avenue awnings, the pattern consists of quadrants containing refined, deconstructed, and then reconstructed versions of the signature stacked-script Saks logo that held sway from 1973-1997. The letters now serve as design elements containing Saks’ “DNA” motif. (Visible, for instance, on the front of the Bond No. 9 flacon are parts of the “n” and “A” from “Avenue.”). The slender bottle is the Bond No. 9 superstar flacon, its circular centerpiece logo inscribed with both SAKS FIFTH AVENUE and BOND NO. 9. <BR/><BR/>Terron Schaefer, Group Senior Vice President, Creative and Marketing, Saks Fifth Avenue said, “Our Saks Fifth Avenue DNA is the essential element of our unique identity. The DNA found on Bond No. 9 Saks for Him and Saks for Her bottle reflects both the logo and the brand. Like Saks Fifth Avenue’s expertly edited merchandise, every square of the DNA is an integral piece of the brand. As a historical retailer located on Fifth Avenue, Saks Fifth Avenue is thrilled that Bond No. 9’s Saks for Him and Saks for Her will become part of our heritage as the first scent ever created for the company.”<BR/><BR/>Arriving on counter on September 1st 2007, Saks Fifth Avenue for Her and Saks Fifth Avenue For Him will be sold exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue stores nationwide and at Bond No. 9’s four New York boutiques. Price: 3.4 oz, $185, 1.7 oz, $125.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395459997956271947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28037586.post-41435157034483885042007-07-21T22:40:00.000-04:002007-07-21T22:40:00.000-04:00I loved your review on Bigelow's.
