Bond No. 9

41 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Bond No. 9 range is made of

Across the 41 Bond No. 9 fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are sandalwood (34%), vanilla (29%), patchouli (24%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads more projective than the catalogue as a whole: projection averages 0.56 against 0.51 across all mapped fragrances. The margin is modest — this is a house closer to the centre of taste than to any edge of it.

One idea, or many

Bond No. 9 releases variations on a theme. Measured as the average spread of its fragrances across all five axes, the range scores 0.083 — narrow. Someone who likes one Bond No. 9 fragrance is unusually likely to like the next, and someone who dislikes one probably will not find the exception further down the range.
