Ah, how I love the High Line! I was lucky to be in New York last June for the grand opening. You can see my photos here.
Big news today for foliage, fragrance and freight train lovers alike. After creating iconic perfumes based on 40 neighborhoods around NYC, Laurice Rahme, the founder of Bond No. 9, elevated her game by producing a scent based on herbs and flowers growing in the High Line.

The perfumery’s “goal was to not only capture the prairie wildness of the foliage’s stark beauty, but also the gritty urban poetry of the site, with steel rails snaking through the grass, the Hudson River waterfront, the dour colors of the old industrial buildings nearby and even the rows of huge hooks left over from the meatpacking days.”
Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?
And as a sweet bonus, 4% of the volume will be donated to the Friends of the High Line, the nonprofit that maintains and protects the urban refuge. The fragrance will launch in March 2010.
