Hamptons

I went to Saks Fifth Ave. to try "Eau de New York" (which I was dieing to try for months and months). Big disappointment all I could get out of it was that overbearing smell of neroli (overkill)and woods. So I went through the collection and came across The Hamptons. love at first smell. When I first sprayed it on the scenery of fresh Magnolias and soft jasmines filled my mind. I've smelled jasmine before and I hate it its strong and old fashioned, but in Hamptons its young and vibrant. The Magnolia is soapy and sensual. As it dries down the citrus notes start to come in, instead of the strong orangy or limey scent most fragrances have, Hamptons has more of a tarty candy like arrangment. My favorite part of the drydown is when the candied citruses meet the calm turkish rose which makes this scent classy and unforgettable. The lasting power is unreal I spray it on yesterday at 5:30 p.m. and it was 8:00 in the morning when I woke up and the fragrance was still there not a trail, but actually still on me. This fragrance reminds me of the forals in M by Mariah carey (warm). Overalln will I buy it again ($175) maybe but I do want to try more of the Bond 9 collection. I call it a evening to night time scent. You don't have to like the scent, but you have to respect the fact that this scent has one of the most stunningly beautiful forals, if not the best than any other scent in this category. The forals are just creamy and captivating.

Rewriting my review on this one: Many of Bond's "unisex" fragrances are quite feminine to me, so this is one that I judged by its cover and just assumed "that looks girly". Mild mistake on my part! This fragrance has grown on me, and is one of very few scents that has garnered ENTHUSIASTIC compliments, not just a "mmm you smell nice" but more like an astounding "WOW" or two. I immediately get the resemblance to Creed Silver Mtn Water; in fact I feel like this scent is a more "floral" spin on Creed's famous "inky tea leaf notes" of SMW. It's a beautiful fragrance in its entirety, and I'm not well versed enough to singly select notes of specific flowers, but the best I can say is that it's a "soft white/light yellow floral smell" with a citrus zest top and a dry sandalwood base. To me the musk kind of mingles throughout and it's a great supporting ingredient and never stands out for me too much. This reminds me of Calvin Klein CK One in a sense---now wait, hear me out!---, not by the smell but because it's absolutely proper unisex! A boyfriend and girlfriend could wear this at the same time, still smell mildly unique to each other AND it's a genuine proper wear for both of them! (I actually shared a bottle of CK One with a girl friend in high school) This went from a "like" to a "Love" for me and I rate this 9 out of 10!

This is the highlight of my fragrance collection and for good reason. I read some of the comments on this and I just have to say WTF. I'm a 23 year old college student and bought BOND NO 9 Hamptons for myself after smelling some of the samples of it. All I have to say about this amazing fragrance is if Jesus was still alive he would wear this . The initial blast of the fragrance I'm not gonna lie is very girly as it smells very floral but the magic happens about 30minutes to 1 hour into the fragrance were it evolves into one of the best scents I have ever smelled in my life. I can't really pinpoint what I smell but let's just say it's one of those scents girls would kill you just to get your shirt and smell the shit out of it all day. When I wear this i literally spread my hands out like I'm a saint as it just fills me with confidence. Can't go wrong with this scent as it also last 24 hours plus on clothes and 6 hours on my skin which is a cologne repellant. This is definitely gonna be my favorite for some time even with some heavyweights like Creed Aventus and Bond NO 9 Wall Street on my wishlist.

I asked for a fresh light fragance in the men counter the first two she showed me were Hamptons and Creed SMW. For my nose this doesnt smell the same but some people may find similarities in some moment on the duration of the fragance, Hamptons smell lot more clean and flowery and SMW more grass and something weird in the opening. I really like this Hamptons. I am still trying how many sprays to get to get the best result. in clothes it last for days!!! really!!. When I put Hamptons I feel so fresh and calm, exactly my style, I have found the perfect fragance for me. I will love to use it even in winter (in texas is like 2 months only) will see if it works. UPDATE.I have try almost all the line, and I haven't found any other bond no 9 product that I like this will become my signature

My favorite Bond fragrance. I tried this for thr first time at a perfume shop in Las Vegas. I loved the fragrance from smelling the bottle, so I sprayed 2 sprays on myself and went about my day. At the end of the day I could still smell it on me, after a full day of walking around in August in Vegas. This scent makes me feel clean and well put together, it gives me a vibe of elegance and richness. After looking at reviews, I tried Creed Silver Mountain Water since I read they were very similar. I prefer the scent SMW because it is slightly more soft to me but the projection and longevity of Hamptons is way more powerful so I think I will be rebuying Hamptons until I get tired of it, which may be never!

I'm a big fan of SMW and Mefisto, so using the two of them as my reference point, I blind bought a full bottle of Hamptons. I'm impressed! It's a very pleasant fragrance. I notice that it's muskier and more floral than SMW, but not quite as floral as Mefisto. Hamptons is a strong performer and deserves to be in the same league with both of them. It's totally unisex and would smell fantastic on anyone. It's a winner and a love. Scent: 8.5/10 Longevity: 9/10 Projection: 7/10 Price/Performance Ratio: 8/10

Very much the vibe of Creed Silver Mountain Water, but in my opinion, much better. This is one of the few fragrances I’ve sampled that I was like, “Wow.” I never get tired of it, and have received more compliments with it than anything else. SMW with a musky aquatic that is absolutely beautiful... particularly the dry down. And yes, ‘Hamptons’ all the way — rich, tan, attractive friends, drinks on the lawn, a cool, salt-infused breeze, and darkened shades as dusk draws near.

Kept spraying this through out the day. it seemed to fade at an approximate 2.5 hours. Its opens with an herbal sage spice note deep bergamot intensely for a second, then breaking way to a sweet, sexy fresh musk with woodsy undertones. I dont like herbal scents but this one doesnt bother me, it isnt very herbal its a very complex and refined scent. It feels good to have on. i would say its sexier than the creed's silver water mountain and does alot more for the senses

I see this scent gets lots of hate but this was my fancy guy juice back in 2017. I used to wear this scent when I wore my sherbert orange ralph lauren chinos, this scent matches perfectly! You have to wear this stuff in high heat to get the full effect or it'll smell tart for some reason. I only wear this bad boy when it's 90 degrees plus and I've had women try to steal my bottle lol This is the one they spray on themselves immediately when they sniff the bottle!

My go-to summer fragrance—the one I reach for without even thinking. It opens with that breezy, salty-air freshness that instantly puts me in a “beach weekend” mood, then settles into a clean, sun-polished mix of florals and woods that feels effortlessly chic. It’s bright, coastal, a little flirty, and somehow always makes me feel like I’m stepping into my own little slice of luxury. If summer had a signature scent for me, this would be it.

Fresh. Citrusy, lemon... ohhhh boy be careful wearing this. This is a head turner. A compliment getter. I recall almost making this a signature scent. Although I didn’t, it’s a top 5 fragrance. Even Bond no9 doesn’t have it in stock. Don’t let people fool u, this is one that MUST be in every connoisseur’s rotation at some point. I’ll NEVER be without a bottle of this, even if I have to pay TOP dollar for it. It’s just that essential.

I'm not someone who gets offended when people bash fragrances that totally love. Everyone doesn't know how to wear fragrance properly so I'll say this... This is super fantastic, fancy & fresh! You must wear this in the high heat to get the best performance. I sprayed this around a group of women and I had to protect my bottle because they were trying to jack me lol. People will think that you're fancy if you wear this!

I tried this as a sample "candy wrapper" vial and it was love @ first spray! It's as fresh as an Ocean breeze with some beautiful floral notes and a stunning dry-down! This THE consumate Springtime scent...like being on a nice boat off the coast enjoying the Sun and the scent of the salt air! I HIGHLY recommend it...Bond 9 does an impeccable job with their fragrances using the most refined ingredients!

It is its own fragrance, and one of the better offerings from Bond. The comparisons to SMW are perhaps justified, but Hamptons releases different notes at different times and abstractly captures the spirit of high society life near the water. It also has more citrus and none of the inkiness of SMW. Better sillage and lasts longer than the other. And more balanced. Easier to live with. Easier to love.

I love clean unisex fragrances so this did not disappoint. I wear this and gave Creed's Silver M. Water and Imperial Millesime to my husband. We both feel Bond No. 9 is more unisex than Silver M.W. I love the complicated layers of this fragrance. If you love unisex style fragrances for women let me also suggest Valentino V. (Valentino) and Creed's Millesime 1849.

I really enjoyed wearing Hamptons, but some of whom I asked said they thought it was a little too distinctive. It reminds me a bit of Creed's Silver Mountain Water that I love, but my wife hates. It has a hint of dirtiness in it, which I think adds to it's sexiness, maybe it's similar to that dirty salt smell of the ocean.

One of my favorite fragrances. Works very well on me and it smells like a true summer delight. Wore this while walking around Las Vegas and it seemed as if it was drawing people closer to me. Definitely an even unisex blend with a strong citrus that calms down into a nice woody scent.

My most worn summer scent over the years. Also, among my collection this is the most sprayed and enjoyed by my friends. I get average performance as with the other Bond summer scents. Big love. Makes me feel like the Great Gatsby. Rating - 8-8.5/10

I bought this bottle when it was first released. Its beautiful and fresh perfect for FL hot summers. One of my favorite Bonds. Get it at a discounter and you win. I paid full price back in the day when they cost around 280 a bottle.

One of my favourite Bond scents....projection is amazing from start to finsih all i get throughout a wearing is this beautiful rose scent with a little salty aquatic note. This Is truly a gem! Bottle worthy on to the next
