01 May I Am Forever a Bond Girl
Created and founded in 2003 by Laurice Rahme, Bond No. 9 pays homage to New York City with an entire fragrance collection.
The Brand’s Slogan: “Making Scents Of New York.”

Earlier in my career, I had the pleasure of working for Bond No.9 … and will forever be in love with the collection. I absolutely adore everything about the luxury fragrance line!
So when I saw on social media that founder, Laurice Rahme was on her way to Houston for a BOND NO. 9 Bottle Signing Event at Saks Fifth Avenue, I wanted in! I immediately set out with plans to nab myself a gorgeous bottle of the high end perfume.

Bond No. 9 WESTSIDE
Bond No. 9’s perfume can also be perfectly paired with Body Silk, the lush, fragrant body cream to compliment the scent. With so many choices (over 70+ fragrances to choose from)… I couldn’t resist selecting my all time favorite: WESTSIDE.
It’s saturated with notes of rose, ylang-ylang, peony, sandalwood, vanilla, amber and musk all blended to perfection.

You Are One of Us
As I sat across from Laurice, I was introduced to her by one of the Bond reps. She told me, “I like your name.” (Lol. Everyone does!) The rep reminded her that used to work for the company.
She looked up at me and asked…. “And why are you not with us anymore?” I said, “I started my own business!” Her reply, “Good Girl!”
I proudly told her I blogged about the ‘Harrods For Her’ perfume she gifted me for Christmas. She said, “Yes I wanted to give you one that was not available in the states!”

Forever a Bond Girl
Laurice Rahme is one of my beauty & business inspirations. She has built a extremely successful beauty empire and was able to capitalize on a unique niche in a extremely competitive luxury fragrance market.
Before leaving… She thanked me for staying loyal to the Bond No. 9 brand and said.. “You are one of us.”
I said, “Of course! I love Bond No.9!
