Fire Island

Fire Island by Bond No 9 is a soft, airy, and creamy floral fragrance centered around tuberose and neroli, accented by cardamom and a powdery musk. It evokes the sensory memory of sun-warmed skin after applying sunscreen—clean, slightly soapy, and gently floral with an ozone-like airy freshness. The scent is not tropical or coconut-heavy, but instead leans into the refined, modern elegance of high-end suntan oil, capturing the essence of American beach culture with a subtle, femme-centric glow. It performs best in warm weather, especially summer, and while some appreciate its subtle longevity, others note it fades relatively quickly, particularly on the skin. Despite its strong initial musk and floral presence, it dries down to a soft, skin-scented trail that lingers subtly and receives compliments. The fragrance is unisex in concept but leans slightly feminine due to its floral intensity, though it can be worn with confidence by men as well. It stands out among Bond No 9’s collection for its emotional resonance and transportive quality, offering a nostalgic, sun-soaked escape rather than a sharp or bold signature.
