Sag Harbor Bond No. 9, unveiled in 2012, is positioned as a unisex fragrance, belonging to the east and floral families. Perfumer Laurent Le Guernec is the author behind this composition. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Country of origin — the United States, and that already says something about the quality. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Sag Harbor is shaped as a layered story, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Bond No. 9 is evident from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Wood without random overlap. Additional accords such as Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
As soon as the fragrance opens you detect radiant lemon-bergamot opening notes: Bergamot, Ivy and Laurel.
At the core of development you sense Grape, Magnolia, Peony and honeysuckle carrying a opulent floral direction.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Green, Spicy and Fruit. The framework further includes Floral, Ambery, Wood and Gourmet. From a family perspective the composition sits in East and Floral.
Taken together Sag Harbor holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
