New Haarlem is a unisex fragrance that inspires polarized opinions, with the vintage version earning genuine praise from dedicated fans. However, the 2022 reissue has disappointed some collectors who report the reformulation is noticeably weaker and less projecting than the original, though its return to permanent stock is viewed positively by the community.
Strengths
- Highly regarded vintage version with strong bakery/coffee notes
- Unisex fragrance appealing to multiple demographics
- Returning to permanent stock instead of limited release
- One of the few Bond No. 9 fragrances worth owning according to fans
Weaknesses
- 2022 reissue is weaker and more diluted than original vintage
- Lower projection and longevity compared to vintage version
- Multiple delays in release schedule frustrated customers
- Notes don't appeal to everyone based on scent profile
