Bond no 9 bringing Andy Warhol back to life – in a little silver bottle!

warhol.jpg

I’m absolutely giddy with the announcement of this newest scent by Bond no 9. They’re really developing a lot of new products, but the design of the package alone almost sells this one to me straightaway. I’ve also been a huge Warhol fan, having enjoyed a visit to the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, as well as a great documentary on his relatives in eastern Europe.

The scent is described as: Like all the scents-in-progress that we are designing for our Warhol repertory, this one is of ambiguous male-female gender. We conceived of Silver Factory as a smooth, smoky, spicy blend of interlacing incense (a key scent of the ‘60s), wood resin, and syrupy, seductive amber. But just to complicate things, we gave it a heart of jasmine, iris, and violet—a scent that Warhol was especially fond of. These slightly dissonant florals combine to evoke a metallic effect—that of warmed-up, molten silver, And then, for the merest hint of coolness, we threw in a handful of cedarwood.

Honestly, if anyone would be happy that their name was put on something so glamorous and shiny, it would be Andy. And the next best thing from the money going right into his pocket, is that the money goes to the Warhol Foundation. And that money, honey, is not small – $230 for 100ml (about 3 oz). But you have a few months to save up or sell a kidney, it launches in December.
