Liberty Island

Liberty Island reminds me of a scent that I'd worn years ago. Can't put my finger on it... There's a smell that wafts up my nose and I can't pinpoint it! Is it the orange? But it's not sharp. I guess that's the marshmallow softening it. I...I just don't know what it is! Of the 21 Bond No. 9 samples that I have, this was my immediate fave (later joined by Gold Coast, Greenwich Village and Chinatown)! I'm wearing Liberty Island now and if I put my nose to where I applied it, I no longer smell it (mind you, I applied it about 10 hours ago). But as I move about, I'll get a beautiful whiff of it. Most of the time, when a scent leaves my skin, I no longer smell it at all. Liberty Island leaves my skin but pops up like a phantom every so often, lol.

This is for me the best beach scent from Bond Line... It smells like when you spurt mandarin juice to your clothes and stays there, except that it's not a real mandarin juice. In my skin this one is long-lasting, and the sillage is above moderate, I spray it in the morning around 7 am, and I can still smell it around 4 pm... hence I don't understand why this one gets so much hates... This one is really good, and actually what actually turned my head towards Bond No 9 line. I bought a sample of this, and not long I went out to get a full bottle.

Looks like I am the only one who loves this. :D It's bright, it's fresh, it's citrus with the marshmallow rendering it some glorious sweetness! Jasmine is not even the strongest note on me, I can detect the orange blossom more but the strongest is the bergamot with marshmallow and clean musk in the dry down. It's a fluffy kind of scent, light yet lingering. I did have to spray a number of times because it is on the lighter side but it's so pretty and uplifting. I did not even finish my sample vial before I bought a full bottle. I love it!

This is a "pretty" scent, as in it ain't unisex. Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman. It's even pH balanced. This is a fresh scent, it just needs a little time to smooth out from the sharp opening. It is a well blended fragrance that I would recommend to women for a variety of activities and seasons. I think that this is an attractive perfume for women. Longevity seems to be pretty good and the sillage is where you want it to be. I recommend this for women to wear as often as possible.

I like it! this perfume makes me happy.! for summer days this is very nice.. the initial vivacity like, sparkling mandarin with bergamot make the joyful perfume, I love the middle part where the jasmine blends with notes of orange blossom. Clean,fresh,young. Nice scent in its simplicity, I'll buy a bottle as soon I finish my sample :),I recommend you try. Sillage: 7./10 Longevity: 7.5/10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5/10

This opens with a very potent citrus note that dries down to a soft powdery, fresh, clean, crisp, citrus. It has great longevity and projection on me, I get about 7-8hrs. It is not an overpowering scent. It is office friendly. I layer this with Joe Malone Honeysuckle and Davana and I receive so many compliments each time I wear this combo. I feel it is unisex with a slight feminine lean.

I do love this perfume....the citrus of it is wonderful. I wish it performed and projected better (all the Bond No. 9's I have tried are terrible projectors/performers).

Very underrated fragrance don't know why the house of bond gets so much hate.

I was thrilled wondering how marshmallow would work with the other abovementioned notes. Whelp, I think when all the other notes came out to play Frisbee in the grass outside Lady Liberty, marshmallow stayed in the gift shop or food court somewhere. Its a greenish fresh breezy Spring day at Liberty Island. Feeding the pigeons and playing outside. Since its breezy, not one note stands out. Its well blended. Its nice. Not outstanding, just a nice clean freshy. It was more of a skin scent, very little sillage. But, should you bump into friends and kiss on the cheek they'll get whiffs of shower and /or laundry clean. Makes for a good office scent. It was a gift so I can't complain, but I personally, wouldn't buy a FB. Out of Bond No 9, I rather stick to my Greenwich and Jones Beach. It is a pretty bottle, but not worth blind buying, as it won't Wow you, I don't think. Samples are great ̄_(ツ)_/ ̄ hope this helps.

This fragrance had me so in the middle. It is a very sweet type but not overpowering per se', but also, like Judie before me stated, gives a nice shampoo type of smell ( an expensive shampoo ) Right away I thought this is too feminine, then as I went through the day, I got kind of used to it and enjoyed it for myself. Then towards the end of the day, it began to remind me of BR540, which I think is one of the best fragrances for a "woman"... And that is where I land, this is definitely better fit for a woman in my opinion and if you like BR540 and those types of fragrances, I think you will like this one. So a pass from me ( as a guy ) but a try for woman.

To my nose this had a weird 'fruit and pencil shavings' vibe on opening. I'm guessing the mandarin, orange blossom, musk combo, but it is not actual unpleasant.. just a bit different. A straight up unisex to me this rounds down to a light and airy mainly citrus.. the musk doesn't hold on me.. but I cannot see anyone not finding this pleasant and easy to wear. Big bottle buy? For me, no because it is really nice, but so are alot of this type of citrus.. it is hard to find a standout in this bracket, and if you've got one or two you probably don't also need this.

Last week I tested Liberty Island; the upcoming fragrance for the summer...it had a unisex spicy aquatic smell reminiscent of a blend of Montauk & Coney Island which was nice. Update: I have now tried it on my skin and is a surprisingly short lived experience; almost like a body mist for after the shower with no complexity or great effort. Disappointed in the end, try before you buy...thumbs down as the price is just a rip off! If you want a good summer beach fragrance go for the classic Aramis New West for him as it has the complexity & effort required.

Liberty Island reminds me of Hermes' le Jardin de Monsieur Li. It's very fresh and aquatic with jasmine. The marshmallow note adds a smoothing element so it's less sharp than LJdML. Longevity is fair and projection is weak. It's truly unisex- as a woman I feel confident wearing, but I would also like it on a man. Although it's a nice fragrance that I enjoy, I wouldn't purchase full price, especially since I already have lJdML.

I LOVE this fragrance. If my man wore this I would lick him up and down. I actually think it is truly unisex and can see women rocking it too. The projection is not as large as other bonds, but it is nice and citrusy, the marshmellow comes through but it's nice unlike any other marshmellow note. Mandarin orange, my favourite note is probably what makes me love this scent too.

Very lovely fragrance. Starts with heavy citrus, which i enjoy. The opening reminds me of the citrus in aventus without the pineapple. Then, it dries down to a light, sweet scent with notes of musk, and marshmallow. The citrus is mostly gone at this point, which is my only critique. Overall, i enjoy this fragrance and give it a solid 7/10 performance is the only issue.

It's a nice, youthful, citrusy, mild sweet, floral, spring daytime scent which leans heavily in feminine scents. This is not unisex imo. I get mandarine, bergamot and orange blossom all together wrapped with marshamallow. There is also mild musk with tiny traces of jasmine. Performance is moderate both sillage and longevity.

This is very citrusy. I feel like the citrus and marshmallow don’t really blend well. This fragrance isn’t bad, it’s just okay. I agree with the sprite comment below, but with marshmallows thrown in. The opening is harsh, but in the dry down it settles down. The longevity and projection on this is not great.

This starts out as "nothing special" as it gets. Very one-dimensional. Smells rather green and herbaceous. However, 30 minutes in, it softened. As the minutes keep passing, it gets lightly sweeter, still soft, and is now beginning to become "special. "

Nice citrus scent. Very fresh. I feel it would be good for anyone to wear. Kinda like CK One. Top notes are Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Black Currant; middle notes are Orange Blossom and Jasmine; base notes are Marshamallow and Musk.

freshness of just-step-out-of-shower with sweet french orange blossom soap. refreshing and pleasant.
