Andy Warhols Union Square
Description
The fragrance is described as an ambi-sexual, mix of sweet and cool. It opens with green notes and lily of the valley, unveils a heart of freesia and birch wood and evolves towards a sweet base of amber and ‘Silver Cloud musk’. To create the scent, Bond N°9 was inspired by a sentence of Warhol : “My favorite smell is the first smell of spring in New York”.

History
Union Square marks the second collaboration between the Andy Warhol Foundation and NYC fragrance brand Bond N°9. The fragrance is named for the environs of the two Union Square studios that the artist and his crew successively occupied during 1968-1984. There, Warhol created the Mao paintings, the commissioned portraits of the rich and famous, and his portfolio of 10 Flowers screenprints. All Pop Art lovers can recognize the inspiration for the bottle : the ‘Warhol Flowers series’, often copied by other artists or by publicists. Info : www.bondno9.com

CLAIRDEJOUR, I like your choice of "New Yorkaise," I aime le nouveau mot "ambi-sexual," meme si doux "doux-cool," est plus precis et moins a taper. I aime ce flacon collector. I aime les premieres senteurs du printemps ains......................I like the new word "ambi-sexual," though "sweet-cool," is more precise and less words to type. I love this collectible bottle. I love the first scents of Spring as well.

Du lilas, des notes vertes, fragrance inspirante. Je suis intriguée, en tant qu'européenne, par les créations de cette marque new-yorkaise.
