Bond Number One

This is fantastic! Starts out with a classic clean musk that borders on soapy, but in the best way possible (do yourself a favor and wait for the drydown). I get a hint of that ylang ylang, but it's definitely not overpowering or too heady at all. You may think that this is a "light" scent upon first spray, but as this starts to dry down and warm up on the skin, that musk starts to deepen and the patchouli, albeit not strong, supports the musk and gives it dare I say, a sexiness? and that's when it really starts to project. The drydown is where this fragrance shines. This is feminine, it's sensual, and the final development of the musk note is done so well. It's almost akin to the sexy and almost carnal musk found in Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT, that never becomes too animalic. This is blended very well, and creates a feeling of warmth with the tonka and the vanilla swirling in the background giving it a gentle sweetness. The florals, jasmine and rose, are not prominent to my nose. This is a beautifully done musk fragrance, that is fully bottle worthy for me!

Is there a fragrance that can lift your spirits when you're feeling down? Let me introduce you to Bond Number ONE! Is there a fragrance that even when you're sick and stuffed up and can barely breathe....it becomes a momentary salve? Hell----oooh! Did you hear me say Bond Number ONE? To be honest when I saw the bottle I figured I wouldn't like it. I foolishly thought it would be very masculine leaning. I had NO idea this would make my heart readjust in my chest cavity. Top to bottom. Open to close...this is it! It's clean. It's mesmerizing. It attaches to you like a new puppy when you walk through the door. The musk...the musk...THAT MUSK...it feels like warm cotton and iris and violet but those aren't listed. It's clean like fresh laundry. It reminds me of distant cousins to Valaya. It's like Tocca Giulietta or Ceramic from Andrea MaackK. This is on the MUST HAVE 100ML ASAP list!

This is a very luxurious vanilla fragrance. At first it is very Sweet and Vanilla forward with a musky/amber/cashmere feel then it dims down and the powdery, musky and creamy vibe becomes more apparent followed by some amazing rosey florals. It lasted all day for me and radiated nicely. It is more feminine leaning but as a man I really enjoyed it can see myself using this often. Price is high but a great scent nonetheless. Perfect for cold weather but still has a nice light airy feel even if you want to try warmer weather

I tested this one today and was shocked at how much I loved it. I’ve been sniffing my arm all day and finally caved, pulled the trigger on a full bottle. As much as I detest these bottles (honestly, I think they’re downright hideous), the fragrance itself is beautiful. It opens with a gorgeous musky vanilla and settles into a powdery, slightly floral dry down. It’s been on my skin for about six hours and still going strong. Not a lot of projection, but it stays close and cozy, and I absolutely love it.

This musk is comforting and soft!!!! Finally a Bond fragrance that I love! It does share similarities with The Body Shop White Musk, but Bond is sweeter and overall less sharp - which makes it way more pleasing imo. This fragrance makes you want to keep smelling your wrist. It's very sensual. Wearing this naked in bed with your significant other kind of sexy, in a loving and cherishing way - not a Dirty Dancing way - which is my favorite kind of sexy fragrance. Leans feminine, which I'm happy about
