New York Chic Swarovski Edition

Forgot to write a review,so here goes. A friend who works for Bond let me try this on the down low, way before launch. I was excited about the tobacco, cognac, davana, immortelle, and oud, but they were largely indistinguishable. This scent is ruined for me by a dominant Tuberose that overpowers everything. To me, Bond has been slipping as a brand by trying to make everything broadly appealing for commercial reasons, rather than committing to a clear direction. This feels like a formula that was originally built one way and then pushed into being “unisex,” with the end result leaning noticeably feminine. Davana does come through, but the other notes I was excited about are faint at best. If you enjoy tuberose-forward fragrances, you may like this. Just don’t let the inclusion of tobacco, booze, etc convince you to blind buy, Perhaps it's a skin chemistry thing. Definitely sample first. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scent 50/100 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
