Bond No 9 BondNo9.com EDP opens with a moderate projection of sweet, fruity, and woody smoky notes. The opening is fresh, aromatic, delectable, and very pleasant. The bergamot and pineapple open the fragrance, with a sharp, intense, sour, and fruity accord, the bergamot dissipates in just a moment, but it gets quickly replaced with the also sharp scent of the juniper berries and black currant. The pineapple is mildly sweet, intense, and delicious. The juniper berries bring a fresh, woody, green, and piney note; the black currant is a note with berry, fruity, tangy, green, with slightly ammoniac accords, that sharpens the notes of the fragrance. The combination of these two notes is evocative birch, a woody and smoky type of note. The apple is next in the list, it isn’t as noticeable as the previous notes, but it adds a softer fruity touch. The cedar is the last of the most noticeable notes, a fresh woody touch. The rest of the notes are there to provide support but aren’t prominent. The fragrance has only one noticeable opening to dry-down change, the bergamot is noticeable during the opening, very citrusy, bright, and crisp; however, it dissipates quickly and the rest of the featured notes come up to replace it.

I have owned this scent for about 2 years now. I do see the whole comparing to Aventus thing but that's only because of some of the same notes. Scent wise it is great. It has a lot more cedar wood in it than Birch which makes Aventus smokey and dark in certain batches. People who like Aventus will like this too. It is about the same with the big difference being cedar wood. The bottle in person is an epic bright yellow and blue QR code. I love it. I wear this on hot days when I want the Aventus vibe just because I know this is like 1/4 the price and if i sweat it off.. it's not that big of a deal to me. And yes.. I own Aventus too.. Who doesn't? Lol. I really like both and for the money.. this gets you in the same ball park for sure. You will have that sweet pineapple, apple, juniper berry, and black currant mixture going on. To the untrained nose passing by.. It will just smell fresh and great. It is actually pretty strong. I wear this and it gets on my clothing during the day and when I wash my clothes it will Still be on there sometimes. I don't know if you can qualify this in the Moderate longevity section or the Long Lasting.. It is for me like right in between the long end of moderate and short end of long lasting. Sometimes it does get 8-9 hours on me.. Depending on my day if I am active a lot or not. Mainly it is like 7ish. I would really say try this one and Scent of Peace For him and fight between those 2 on which is better. Personally I own both and I trade back and forth quite often.

This shit right here is the Aventus killa that I was hoping it would be!Creed bow down to the real perfect batch that you should be making at the cost you charge for that smoke in a bottle you call Aventus!Oh now for my review:clean,fruit vibe I get now that I just sprayed it 1 hour ago and its still rocking out without any hint of smoke.Will edit if anything changes as I will wear it to work tonight and get the full effects of what my co-workers think of it.As a side note the bottle isn't bad its hip and up to date with the times of which we live.This is not even close to Fresco which I own.So if you think that puting Fresco on here as a similar scent will devalue BOND9.COM then you must not own Fresco which is not a bad sent but doesn't even hold a candle to this BEAST.4hrs. now still going strong.Just woke up to go to work its been a total of 9 1/2 hrs.and I can still smell it close on skin but damn its like a energizer battery.I will say that there is one great thing about all Creeds that do beat out Bond 9's and that's their atomizers. EDIT.Everytime I wear this to work I get complements on how good I smell.This is my new favorite fragrance.Also I sometimes use Aventus soap and it works great with this I guess because there is no smokiness in the soap at all but it's a little expensive.

Masterpiece! This is one of the first bonds I sampled. It is bright, fresh, citrusy, woody and slightly musky. I honesly cannot express how much I LOVE this fragrance. The juniper and pineapple hit you right away and never seem to totaly dissappear. This opening lasts for almost an hour on my skin and transitions seamlessly to the heart of black currant and cedar. The musky, patchouli base is a great compliment to the symphony that is Bond.com. When I put this on , I just grin because I know for the rest of the day that myself and everyone around me will enjoy this awesome creation. I get no shrotage of compliments with this. In fact, the very first time I put this on, my best friend exclaimed "JESUS, even I want to f#*! you!"(he's not very subtle...) I do not consider this to be a unisex fragrance. Men only. Also, apply lightly. This one is a beast on me. Longevity and sillage are through the roof! Lasts all damn day on my skin, even in cold weather. I can wear this all year around. Not sure why most people concider this a summer scent... This may not be for everyone(although I have not met anyone who has a single negative thing to say about it, unlike Aventus...)so, as always, try before you buy. Longevity: Beast Mode!! 14 hours Projection: 6 feet Sillage: 6+ hours

Bond No. 9.com is a masterpiece. It is an underrated niche fragrance suitable for any occasion. To date, I have 21 Bond fragrances and Bond 9.com ranks at the top of the list and garners the most compliments. Simply put – it is everything you could ask for in a fragrance – a beautiful scent, great flexibility, unobtrusive in an office environment, huge “Wow Factor”, and a cool design (I love the way Bond 9 bottles fit my hand). Out of the bottle, you get the overwhelming pineapple notes that surround the amber, herbal, and musk notes that make this fragrance one of the best made. It has catapulted into my Top 5. Yes – there are many similarities to Creed’s Aventus, but I find that I get greater longevity and projection/sillage from No. 9.com. Speaking of the “rock star” performance, Bond 9.com lasts at least 8 hours on me (longer on clothing) with projection greater than arm’s length. While a challenge to get your hands on a bottle (ordered mine direct from Bond), I highly recommend adding to your collection. The final tally for Bond No 9.com is 4.9 stars out of 5 stars. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy your day...

Really enjoy this stuff. Forgive my ignorance, but I don't get when people complain of a scent smelling synthetic. I mean, I don't knock a more "natural" smelling fragrance, but, to me, they all more or less smell "synthetic". Too, just because a fragrance smells synthetic doesn't necessarily make it smell cheap. Some of the best smelling fragrances are clearly synthetic. Do you think Dior Homme Parfum smells spot on? Yet, it's at the top of a LOT of people's lists. I can go on. Personally, I can appreciate a fragrance that doesn't go for the whole photorealistic thing. When people smell it they'll know you intentionally sprayed something nice on as oppose to smelling like you was just in a room with flowers or use potpourri in your closets at home. Again, I'm not knocking "natural" smelling fragrances. I just think some people get too carried away with saying a fragrance smells synthetic and forget like, at least, 85% of what goes in a perfume is synthetic. Unless it says natural on the the tin.. and even then... Ok, rant over. Good day everyone.

BondNo9.com is an Aventus "clone" and there's really no point arguing otherwise. lol This may also be the "best" Aventus clone on the market right now too. BondNo9.com is extremely well formulated, high quality, long lasting, with excellent performance/projection. Definitely a masculine fragrance, but can easily be pulled off by women too. As a woman's skin chemistry will likely tone down the musk notes. With that said, BondNo9.com has an effervescent-like scent character, with prominent pineapple notes, and musk notes that are well balanced, and not overwhelming. Ultimately, making BondNo9.com very easy to wear in any situation, and perfect for summer/hot weather wearings -- which is Aventus's shortcoming. BondNo9.com is also what I would call an excellent beach/tropical vacation cologne too. Definitely get your noise on BondNo9.com if you enjoy Aventus, but can appreciate a different house's take on Aventus, or if you just enjoy owning various Aventus clones. Overall: 10/10 -- Prefer BondNo9.com over Aventus :-)

This is the best fresh bond I've smelled. It opens like a fruity batch of Aventus but then it goes an interesting (and wonderful) direction. The Pineapple and the cedar is a fantastic mix and works very well together. Black current is a note that I don't care for in high doses unless it's blended well and it is here. Patchouli can also go sideways and lean fem or overpowering but its also blended well. My favorite part of Aventus is the musk in the base and I can smell it clearly here. It's similar to the Aventus upscale musk, and equal quality. This is just as good as Aventus IMO and possibly better because I've grown tired of Aventus. This is different and interesting. I had several meetings with clients and potential clients, and received several compliments. Even mixed with sweat in the Texas heat this stuff sang off my skin. It also passed the most important test: my wife likes it 🙂 All and all, this stuff is better than Hacivat and better than modern aventus. Smell 9/10 Performance 7.5/10

Finally purchased 3 samples directly from Bond, since I can't find anyone selling decants. At least not yet. Absolutely, the scent is similar to Creed Aventus, but let's be honest... many colognes smell "similar to" other colognes, and whether intentional or not this is a common occurrence with fragrances. Having said that, I find this scent to be like Creed Aventus, but was done with underripe pineapples and too many apples, happily/accidentally. There's a greenness,a crispness to it that just has me HOOKED. I absolutely love this and even though I've only been wearing it for several hours, I already feel "signature scent" with this one. I love Aventus and almost any aroma that reminds me of it, and this disputably outdoes Aventus. Unisex? ---personally I don't think so, but this is definitely a scent that will appeal to women. But, on a guy in my opinion. 10/10 for me.

I've been wearing this stuff every week, for the last 3 years. Still not sick of it. Still my #1. In a nutshell, i like to call this "Aventus for non-smokers". The resemblance is uncanny, whether it's an intentional dupe, a clone, I don't care. It's still very much its own thing. The musk in it is amazing and has honestly made me appreciate musks in other fragrances. The woody drydown is also very clean, smells like fresh clean laundry with some of the opening sweet pineapple/apple still hanging on. It's crisp from start to finish. Sillage is good at first but fair after a couple hours, longevity is just ok. The overall aroma is so satisfying and addicting to me, I wonder if I'll ever grow bored of it. I now understand why some people might wear the same fragrance for decades. 10/10, if i wasn't already clear about that :)

Received the "sample" from Bond No 9. Sprayed a couple of times on my chest. I'm really diggin' this scent. Asked my fiancé what she thought: "makes me want to eat you!" Those were her exact words. Haven't really walked around in public with this scent, yet...but I'm willing to bet it will smell great out-and-about. I feel as if I could wear this any time of the year, day, or place. Thumbs up from me! Edit: I have realized another reason I love this scent: I am headache free. What I mean is, sometimes scents have a headache-way about them. Even the ones that I am fond of .... they sometimes cause a headache. I have crappy sinus problems, but this fragrance doesn't irritate my head at all. Plus, it lasts a nice, long time, too!

This one is really hard to get for me (although not as hard as H.O.T Always), but yeah, I needed to buy it online, sent it to my cousin in Amsterdam, and waited until someone returned to my country bringing it to me, which took a couple of months waiting period, but finally I've got it. This smells like fruitier Aventus if you really like to make Aventus as a benchmark for every pineapple based fragrance, which is sad... because I see in Fragrantica, almost all fragrance with pineapple are associated with Aventus. Come on people... This one really makes me feel tropical, very beautiful, with 10 hours or so longevity and above average projection. This perfume really is worth the effort, one of the best from Bond No. 9.

This is a very classy with a blast of apple and Pineapple. This is my new signature scent. My wife stated that I can only wear this cologne with her because a women stated that I smelled edible when I was at the market. Bond has a hit that rivals Aventus. Its more fruity and when it mixing with your body chemistry the sillage and longevity last 8-12 hours or more. Update: Man this one is so fresh and so clean with fruity notes. A must for any collector of great colognes. I have received a ton of compliments with this one. I had one lady to follow me in Dillards just because she like my cologne and cole haans. She wanted to know the name of the cologne and where to buy this great scent.

This fragrance is very well done! I really do love it, regardless of it's comparisons to a slew of other well known fragrances. Yes it does have similar traits to Creed Aventus, BN9 Scent of Peace for Him, Reyane Insurrection Pure II and Lomani AB Silver. While I do not care for AB Silver, I do like the remaining three. This is probably the closest direct relative to Aventus. While that might be great, the price tag doesn't warrant choosing this over Aventus. Find the one that you like best and go with it. If money isn't an issue, get all of the above (minus AB Silver). You'll be able to use and love each for different reasons. Happy Hunting!

@JEDI 2.0 you nailed it bro! I also ordered a couple of the directly off bonds website for $8.00 each and wow.. This is actually a little better than aventus in my opinion. Do they share some similarities in notes, yes. This is a great projector as well! I ve gotten more compliments with this than aventus also. I did the spray test one on each hand and this one won. But so did insurrection pure 2 so who knows. If you guys like aventus you have to try this or you are missing out major! Scent 10/10 Projection 9/10 Longevity 9/10 This also causes nose blindness so be careful

Six years later, I still wear this weekly with amazing effect to myself and anyone blessed enough to smell it off of me. Clean, sweet, unoffensive. Pleasing. Inspiring. This fragrance makes me feel like "me". I said it before and I'll say it again, this fragrance made me understand why some people wear the same scent for decades. The clean "pineapple dryer sheets" accord is a place I can live indefinitely. I'd love a pillow spray; this stuff itself is too heavy, trust me. 11 out of 10. This stuff is so signature for me, I sign my checks with a spray of it.

I just got in and after a couple hours on my skin; I must say this is a great scent. There is a little bit of an Aventus vibe but it's nothing like Aventus; you REALLY smell the apple in it. It somewhat reminds me of Aventus dry down but take out the pineapple and add in bursts of apple with less of a smoke vibe. I really enjoy this one and was happy it turned out the way it did. I agree with what GatorNY said; it's lighter and more fruity than Aventus.

Powerful fragrance - very strong. Lasts nearly 10 hours on skin and all day on clothing. Many thanks to Fiona for the free sample! Aventus similarities?...perhaps but the clean green notes and lack of birch make this decidedly different. Almost like a sparkling mix of Cedrat Boise from Mancera and Aventus having a less fruity offspring. More herbal while still having non-synthetic fruit notes and playfulness. Fantastic fragrance FB worthy to me.

My 3rd from the house and personally enjoy its creations. This one is a great fruity-musky-smoky scent with great projection for first 1-2hrs and skins scent for 6 to 8 hours. Very versatile and office safe and perfect for summers. Shukran Habibi!

My go to, dumb reach during the summer! Its sweet, but not cloying. Its fresh, and i get compliments regularly. My favorite bond hands down, and you can find a 100 ml at diacounters for a third of the King...
