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

It took a minute, but Bond is finally putting out some bangers again. Number One reminds me of a marriage of two of my most beloved perfumes; Mizensir Poudre D'or (musk) and Roja 51 Parfum (florals). If you like either of those, this will be right up your alley. BN1 is feminine, sweet, and texturally soft without being powdery or dated. I also agree with @JoyousOne's review below - though not listed, there definitely Iris/Orris hanging out in there somewhere.

Smells incredible. Very creamy and the vanilla and musk combination go well together. The only negative I would say is the price point, $460 is an insane price. I bought wholesale for only $130 and it was very well worth, but I personally would not buy this for $460. Some might find the bottle a little bit tacky, but I personally like how it looks. Overall a solid fragrance, and definitely going into one of my favorite fragrances in my collection.

Too many people around me think this is too feminine for me to wear. I respond by asking them how I smell. And they always say I still smell great. I think anyone can wear this. If you have someone in your life that likes rose/vanilla, it doesn't matter who they are, get your nose on this/get their nose on this. This is an amazing intimate scent that I hope everyone loves.

Holey. Effing. God. I went to the west village store and had the lady spray some on my hand. MUSKY VANILLA. HEAVY. This thing is strong and has the potential to be the next big thing. I love musk so much so this is right up my alley. Heavy on the musk. Heavy on the vanilla. Dropped $460 right then and there. Cannot recommend this enough (if you love musk and vanilla).

Love this perfume! There is a blast of sweet vanilla in the opening then it dries down musky. The vanilla is present throughout the wear. The musk is not overbearing. This could easily be a signature scent. It smells like a quality perfume, not cheap as some musks tend to smell. It's a 10 for me.

Absolutely beautiful! Very well blended, sits very close to the skin, last allllll day long. This is the vanilla musk scent I've been looking for for many years, I just wish it was not to pricy its not worth that price point.

This is it, smoothly executed, I can tell the quality is top notch in this one, the musk is there up front, velvety and clean, backed by power flowers, this strongly reminds me of the old Jovan musk craze of decades ago.

Love this release from Bond. This is the first musk I've ever fallen for! The combination of florals, citrus, and musk is heavenly. Simple but sophisticated. This is an easy reach and signature scent worthy.

Smells like scented Shea butter lotion. Like vanilla powder. I like it, it doesn't smell like cologne to me. Light fragrance, but its very good!

This one literally smells like you're walking past a Lush store in the mall. To me, that's a good thing.

This smells soooo good 💜 wears very well. Smelt very VERY good when dried down.

This looks quite nice, although I’m not a huge fan of yellow florals

This looks like a winter fragrance looking at the notes and accords

Initially, I was disappointed with this, but it's grown on me. It smells like a fluffy cloud! Musky vanilla that is cozy and comforting; it's creamy too. I get the musk, vanilla, and a smidge of tonka; that's all that stands out on my skin; I don't get any of the other notes. With that being said, it's a pleasant scent that's great for winter, early spring, and fall. I think it might be a bit heavy for summer. It's long lasting and sillage is moderate.

I was able to try this prior to launch. It's definitely feminine imo and leans classic. It reminds me of something I've smelled in the past. The musk has a vintage, very very slight animalic twang, but I didn't find it particularly challenging. It's not my personal taste, but I think retro perfume fans may enjoy the powdery muskiness and florals.
