Andy Warhol
Fragrance notes
Character
Andy Warhol by Bond No 9 opens like a silk-screen print smudged with fruit and resin. A fat, syrupy plum collides with citrus and cypress, and for a moment you think this will be a glossy pop-art confection. Then the heart slides in, dark and medicinal: agarwood, labdanum, and a jammy rose that refuses to settle down. Patchouli and jasmine add a dusty, almost theatrical powder, as if the scent is performing for a crowd that’s already left. It dries down to a warm vanilla and sandalwood base, with olibanum lending a churchy stillness that musk wraps around like an old velvet rope.
The overall character is a Pop Art portrait that never quite resolves into a single expression, part sweet, part smoky, part powdery. It feels more synthetic than natural, but in a deliberate, curated way, not a cheap one. The longevity is decent, three to four hours before fading into a skin scent, and sillage stays close, which suits its introspective vibe. This fragrance belongs to fall and winter, when its cozy warmth makes sense, and it works as easily for a daytime gallery visit as for a dinner that leans late.
Who should wear it? Anyone who wants a sweet, woody oud without the barnyard scream, someone who appreciates a little powder and a little fruit. Skip it if you need a monster projector or if clean, sharp scents are your only language. After all, Warhol himself understood that repetition can be art, but this one doesn’t need to shout to make its point. 🎨
