Bond No. 9 Hamptons EDP — Unisex
If Creed's Silver Mountain Water moved to the Hamptons for the summer and started wearing linen, it would smell like this.
Launched in 2005, Hamptons is Bond No. 9's cleanest, most effortless warm-weather fragrance — a citrus-floral-tea composition that opens with bergamot and lime, moves through a heart of jasmine, magnolia, and cassis, and settles into a white tea and cedarwood drydown that's genuinely refreshing and genuinely long-lasting. The Silver Mountain Water comparison gets made constantly and it's fair — both fragrances share the clean, green metallic freshness of currant and bergamot over a tea-white musk base. Hamptons is slightly warmer, slightly more floral, and in the opinion of many wearers, more tenacious on skin. It's the fragrance that makes you feel like you've just stepped off a boat in August, which is exactly what the name promises.
🔺 The Scent Pyramid
Top Notes (0–15 min) Bergamot · Lime · Currant · Green Notes
A clean, bright, and slightly metallic citrus opening that's immediately recognizable as summer. Bergamot provides the brightness. Lime adds tartness. Currant contributes a slightly dark, slightly sharp fruitiness. The green notes give the whole opening a slightly aquatic, slightly vegetal quality that makes it feel more complex than standard citrus territory.
Heart Notes (20 min–2 hrs) Jasmine · Magnolia · Cassis · White Tea
The heart is where Hamptons earns its place in the Bond lineup. White tea is the defining character note — clean, slightly astringent, and genuinely distinctive in a freshie at this price point. Jasmine and magnolia add soft, slightly creamy floral depth. Cassis reinforces the currant of the opening and ties the heart to the top seamlessly.
Base Notes (2 hrs and beyond) Cedarwood · White Musk · Amber
Clean, warm, and skin-close. Cedar gives the base dry woody structure. White musk amplifies the skin-chemistry quality and makes the drydown feel personal and intimate. Amber adds a quiet warmth that extends the wear. Longevity runs 5 to 8 hours — strong for a fresh summer fragrance at any price point, genuinely impressive for a Bond No. 9.
What it smells like on skin:
The bergamot-lime-currant opening is bright, clean, and immediately mood-lifting. The white tea heart is where the fragrance becomes its own thing rather than just another green freshie — there's a distinctive astringency and coolness that reads as genuinely sophisticated. The cedar-musk drydown is warm, quiet, and long-lasting. Best in spring and summer; the clean, airy character works in heat without going flat or synthetic. One of the best pure summer fragrances in the Bond No. 9 catalog.
Why People Keep Coming Back:
🌊 The Hamptons in a bottle — clean, green, coastal, and effortlessly sophisticated — Hamptons doesn't try to smell like a New York neighborhood in the traditional sense. It smells like the version of New York that drives three hours east in July and puts its feet in the sand. That's a very specific mood and this fragrance nails it.
🍵 White tea as a heart note — the ingredient that elevates Hamptons above generic summer freshie territory — most clean summer fragrances rely on aquatic synthetics or standard citrus. White tea gives Hamptons a genuine, slightly unusual character that you notice and remember.

Longevity, skin chemistry, the collector's take, and how we authenticate.
Hamptons is one of Bond No. 9's most beloved unisex fragrances and a strong representative of the brand's "fragrance as place" concept. Built around a fresh aquatic-citrus opening with magnolia, sea salt, and aquatic accord, the composition evokes the experience of summer on Long Island's east end — clean, bright, slightly elegant, with that specific quality of coastal air. The dry-down develops with a soft white floral character and a clean musk-and-driftwood base.
Bond No. 9 is one of the most distinctive niche houses in modern American perfumery, and Hamptons demonstrates why. The composition has personality without being polarizing. For collectors evaluating Bond No. 9, this is one of the better entry points. Strong unisex pickup for warm-weather rotation.
