We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.
How much does Bond No. 9 Manhattan cost?
The genuine Bond No. 9 Manhattan runs $229.59 at FragranceNet.com as of this page's last update, though retailers set their own prices and change them.
What's the closest accessible alternative to Manhattan?
We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Manhattan by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Manhattan, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.
Is Manhattan for men or women?
Bond No. 9 Manhattan is listed as unisex, marketed for anyone, which is how we'd wear it too. Fragrance has no inherent gender; the label just reflects how the retailer sells it.
What fragrances share notes with Manhattan?
Amouage Jubilation Xxv (shares Honey, Coriander, Labdanum); Lattafa Oud Mood Elixir (shares Suede, Nutmeg, Oud); Armaf Club De Nuit Iconic (shares Coriander, Nutmeg, Labdanum). These share specific notes with Manhattan, a closer match than a shared accord family. We rank them by how many of Manhattan's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of Manhattan, and has its own page.
What fragrances are similar to Manhattan?
Manhattan reads as citrus, fruity, floral, spicy, sweet, amber. If that's the corner you like, you'll find Armaf Club De Nuit Precieux 1, Xerjoff Louis Xv De Venoge and Fragrance Du Bois Milano nearby. We rank them by how many of Manhattan's cited accords they actually share, weighting rarer families heavier. They're their own fragrances, not copies of Manhattan, and each has its own page.
We list the genuine original first, always. Fragrance Hunter earns affiliate commissions on outbound links across the site, on both original bottles and accessible alternatives, at no cost to you. Because we earn the same either way, what pays us never sets the order we rank things in; the ranking answers to the cited accords, not a sponsor (how we pick, and how we earn). Accessible alternatives are imitations of a named original; related fragrances are independent houses' own creations that stand as originals in their own right. We label which is which, and never present an imitation as the original. Prices are indicative, set by the retailer, and change. Accords are coarse scent families cited from brand or retailer sources; an alternative evokes the profile, it is not the same formula.
