Bond No. 9 Silver Factory

Bond No. 9 Silver Factory, launched in 2007, is a unisex fragrance that pays homage to Andy Warhol's legendary Silver Factory studio. The Silver Factory was Warhol's studio in New York City, a hub for artists, musicians, and celebrities during the 1960s. It was a place of creativity, experimentation, and excess, famously covered in silver foil and paint. The fragrance attempts to capture the creative, smoky, and slightly decadent atmosphere of that space. With its mix of incense, iris, and resins, Silver Factory evokes a sense of artistic nostalgia and urban sophistication. Composed by Aurélien Guichard, Silver Factory is a complex blend of amber, woody, balsamic, smoky, powdery, violet, and iris accords. The fragrance opens with lavender, bergamot, and grapefruit, transitions to incense, iris, violet, and jasmine, and settles into resins, cedar, and amber.
