Washington Square is the next Bond no 9 fragrance on the block, named after the iconic park/square in Greenwich Village.I'd describe this as a slightly sweet, smoky, rose/ floral musk perfume. It's got a great mix of notes , and is well blended in the tradition of so many previous Bonds.
Smoky notes aren't often my thing but this one I really like. The smoke is light and tempered by some bergamot in the beginning and then rose , amber and a hint of leather. The honey note adds the sweetness( but not too much) . The drydown brings in the leather , vetiver and a touch of musk.
All that might sound strong, but it isn't. I find Washington Square to be a medium scent with medium sillage. This makes it perfect for the fall /winter season it launches in. It will warm you up and leave a cosy, pretty scent trail on your favorite sweater .
Full note list:
