You know that Beekman Place Bond No 9? That fancy perfume, yeah, that one. Smells like… well, it’s something else, I tell ya. Heard it’s from 2024. New stuff, you see. All the city folks are going crazy for it. My granddaughter, she’s always into these fancy things, she told me all about it.

They say it’s for both men and women. That’s kinda new, ain’t it? Back in my day, you had your rosewater and your husband had his… well, whatever he used. Smelled like the barn sometimes. This Beekman Place, they say it’s got all sorts of things in it. Pear and pineapple, can you believe it? Fruit in a perfume!
What is this Bond No 9 Beekman Place? It is a perfume, you know, like those fancy ladies use. They say it got somethin’ called “bergamot” in it. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in the garden, but who am I to say? I just grow potatoes and beans. And they put some herbs in there too. Makes you feel all energized, they say. Like you drank a whole pot of coffee.

And get this, it’s supposed to be like that fancy place in New York City, Beekman Place. Never been, but I seen it on the TV. All them big houses and rich folks. This perfume, it’s supposed to smell like that place. Expensive and fancy, you know? They say it’s where all them artists and royal folks live. Imagine that!
This Beekman Place, it’s what they call a “niche” perfume. Means it’s special, not like the stuff you find at the drugstore. My granddaughter, she says it’s a big deal. Costs a pretty penny, too, I bet. But hey, if you wanna smell like a millionaire, maybe this is it.
I reckon it’s nice to have nice things, even if you don’t need ’em. Like that time I bought that fancy red dress, never wore it nowhere, but it was nice to look at. Maybe this perfume is like that. Something pretty to have, makes you feel good, even if you’re just sitting at home.

They say it’s a “secret” place, this Beekman Place in New York. Hard to find, I guess. Like a hidden treasure. And this perfume, it’s like they bottled up that secret and put it in a fancy bottle. Clever, ain’t it? They know how to sell things, these city folks.
Bond No 9, that’s the name of the folks who make it. Sounds important, don’t it? Like a secret agent or something. They make all sorts of these fancy perfumes. My granddaughter, she’s got a whole shelf full of ’em. Smells like a flower shop in her room, I tell ya.
The perfume, they say it got some aroma, a whole bunch of smell mixed together. Like when you cooking a big stew, put everything in the pot. That is Beekman Place smell. They say there are many things in the smell. I don’t know what is that. I just know it is some fancy stuff. Rich people like it.
I remember one time, I went to the city with my son, long time ago. We went to one of them fancy department stores. They had all these perfumes, all lined up like little soldiers. The lady there, she sprayed some on me. Smelled like a whole field of flowers. Made me sneeze, but it was nice.
This Beekman Place, it’s probably like that, but even fancier. More expensive, too, I bet. They say it is new. You know, young people like new things. They always want the newest thing. Like my grandson, always want new shoes. And the old one is still good. But they want new, new, new.
But hey, if you got the money, why not? Treat yourself, I say. Life’s too short to smell like the barn all the time. Even if you just smell it once, it’s like a little adventure, ain’t it? Like going to that fancy place in New York without ever leaving your house.
I still like my rosewater, though. Reminds me of my grandma. She always smelled like roses. Simple things, you know? But sometimes, simple is best. Still, this Beekman Place Bond No 9, it sure does sound interesting. Maybe next time my granddaughter comes to visit, I’ll ask her to bring me a little sniff. Just to see what all the fuss is about.
