Andy Warhol Union Square by Bond No. 9
Next up in the series of Andy Warhol fragrances created by Bond No. 9 is Andy Warhol Union Square. The scent will be available in a collection of 10 bottles, each featuring a design based on Warhol’s Flowers series, done by the pop artist in the 1970s. For avid collectors and hardcore Warhol fanatics, the complete collection of ten 100 ml bottles will be available in a box for $1,500. They will also be available in individual flacons of 100 ml at $195 and 50 ml at $135. The scent is a floral fragrance with a musk and spicy twist and is composed of top notes of lily of the valley and green stem; middle notes of blue freesia and white birch wood, and bottom notes of amber and silver-cloud musk accords. Andy Warhol Union Square will be launched in March in the U.S. at Bond No. 9 boutiques, Saks Fifth Avenue and museum gift shops. It will then be rolled out to 20 different markets a month later, including retailers Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges in the U.K.
As part of the fragrance launch, Robert Lee Morris, another Warhol licensee, created 400 limited edition Warhol-inspired sterling silver Flowers necklaces. The jewelry will feature a Warhol quote engraved on the back: “My favorite smell is the first smell of spring in New York,” as well as the Bond logo. Launching in time for Mother’s Day, the 36-inch necklace will be available with a 100-ml. bottle of the fragrance for $575.
