Andy Warhol celebrating 80th anniversary with Lexington Avenue perfume
Would Warhol approve? I must say, I have never imagined linking Andy Warhol with Perfume, but apparently Bond no. 9 does. And has. In fact, ‘Lexington Ave’ is the third perfume made in inspiration of Warhol — the first being ‘Silver Factory’ and ‘Union Square’.
The bottle has my very favourite Warhol print, “stamped shoes” which originally appeared in the September, 1949 Glamour magazine.
The reason for the shoe-inspired bottle? “With fanciful shoes the most directional fashion story in recent years, we found our theme when we discovered the rich lode of phantasmagorical shoes Warhol created on paper 50 years ahead of their time,” says Bond No. 9’s Founder and CEO, Laurice Rahme.
If you fancy a spritz of Lexington Ave, you should expect a modern floral woody chypre combined with an epicurean brew of fennel, cardamom, roasted almonds, peony, Florentine orris, creme brulee, patchouli and sandalwood.
Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue will be available in 100ml and 50ml sizes in September and starts at $135.
