RS No.9 is the stepping stone of the legendary rock and roll band, The Rolling Stones into a new genre. It marks the debut of the band in making its signature perfume, to celebrate its lasting legacy.
Over sixty years, their music has created a massive impact on the history of rock and roll, and culture. The group of musicians who have created sounds that challenge societal boundaries have now ventured into the unknown.
This fragrance comes under the great effort of the Rolling Stones to take their brand beyond music through fashion, lifestyle, and fragrances.
The creation of this breakthrough fragrance came about through creative collaboration with the best minds in the perfume world. It was then brought to life by perfumer Catherine Selig, who stated,
This was a dream project. I wanted to capture The Rolling Stones’ timelessness – their inimitable style, rebellious spirit, and the feeling of freedom their music still inspires. Every note represents a different facet of the Stones’ legacy, from their soulful melodies to their on-stage unpredictability. This fragrance is a journey through their world, filled with richness, texture, and bold contrasts.
The name comes from the flagship store of the band, RS No.9 Carnaby, situated in the colorful Carnaby Street of London, where rock culture has roots since the 1960s.
Inspired by the brand's heritage, this perfume carries the bold uncompromising style of this band and invites the enthusiasts to connect with the melody on an entirely sensory level.
The Rolling Stones' RS No.9 perfume: Packaging & Composition
The perfume RS No.9 has a design and scent composition that mirror the larger-than-life personality of the Rolling Stones. The bottle is translucent and sleek, with a black cap and a red Rolling Stones tongue-and-lips logo.
It is painted with graffiti design inspired by the band's song lyrics and is simple yet striking as the music itself is edgy. The bold style speaks of the iconic images associated with the band, making the perfume bottle a statement piece.
RS No. 9 is thoughtfully composed to capture the multiplicity of The Rolling Stones' heritage. It introduces top notes of bergamot, lemon, and a splash of bourbon as a zestful and luxurious opening to set an upbeat tone.
The heart has warm worn-out leather, labdanum, to impart a smoky richness with the sensuality and texture characteristic of the band's sound. The fragrance presents the old-school motifs of classic rock with modern minimalism.
At its base, the notes of Oud, musk, and patchouli comprise a deep, lingering finish that balances the earthiness of the fragrance with some sophistication that will last longer. This complex blend brings the rebellious yet elegant spirit of The Rolling Stones to life in RS No. 9, bringing a unique element to fine fragrances.
