Nuits de Noho

One of the few Bond fragrances that I love (along with New Haarlem and couple others from the original line up). Only problem is they blinged out the bottle. Why must they do this? I LOVE the clear bottles, so tasteful and expensive looking. I just can not stand the multi-colored, loud screaming for attention bottles they have had for the last few years. The Nuits de Noho bottle originally was clear with a blue label and it was gorgeous. Now the whole bottle is blue and it is covered in freaking silver stars. I know some people don't like the same bottle over and over with only different labels but I am one of these boring people who like the understated elegance of that. I don't want a big multi colored disco ball look on my dresser or bathroom countertop. I have read the comparisons to Angel but I don't get the similarity. I do not like Angel and returned it after one spray when I first purchased it years ago. Just TOO MUCH for me. This isn't...it is much more subdued. I actually haven't smelled this in a number of years. I sold the bottle I had on Ebay (along with several others) after they started releasing 400 new scents a year in the neon colored sparkly bottles. I liked Bond No. 9 when it was something rare...something nobody had heard of. Something I got at a tiny boutique tucked away in midtown. That was the great appeal. Now there are 2000 listings on Ebay on any given day. I don't know what happens but when something gets too popular I just lose interest. My rebellious nature I guess. BUT this is a beautiful fragrance....blinged out sparkly bottle or not.

The comparisons with Angel are in place, certainly, but there is a sizable difference between Angel and NdN. While they're both heavy on patchouli and jasmine and vanilla, Nuits de Noho is more fruity due to the pineapple undertone that lingers through the whole scent pyramid. On the other hand, Angel is filled with a strong chocolate note, making it sweeter and heavier. The bigger difference is in the way the composition is made. Angel is opulent, untamed and wild, whereas NdN is tender and subtle. It's like NdN is a finished product, like, a refinement of Angel. You see, you have a solid sillage and longevity with NdN - solid might even be an understatement, but it's never as toxic and as agressive as Angel, which can induce allergies if even slightly overapplied. Nuits de Noho is not screaming for attention and is still able to give you a positive aura and a lot of compliments. I don't see a single reason why I, or any other man in particular, shouldn't wear this thing, just as Angel - it is true that they are feminine on a girl/woman, but they are masculine on men, I can guarantee that from my own experience. Now, I think that NdN is way better than Angel, overall. Angel is too much in-your-face, sweet and nauseating, whereas NdN is perfectly balanced. They are similar enough, however, if you have a thin wallet like I do. The price range for Nuits de Noho is, I think, the only obstacle and the only reason to buy Angel before NdN. All in all, this is a hell of a scent, maybe not especially original, but perfectly made and nicely mannered. 9.25/10

By default I love this, it bears a striking resemblance to Angel, but I actually think it smells even closer to Animale Animale (for men)! They're definitely all siblings, and this feels like the smoother, woodier older brother. AA is more of the younger, party-going younger brother, and Angel is brooding punk sister in middle. The opening is really fresh, and I don't notice the pineapple until the citruses burn odd, but when it emerges, it's juicy and fun. This has a ghost note of licorice to my nose, and I keep becoming surprised by this pleasant deliciousness that wafts upward as I move 😋 Despite the lack of other gourmond notes here, the vanilla provides enough sweetness in the base to maintain a yummy drydown. The woods in here don't smell exactly like other rosewood products I have, but in my experience, "rosewood" can be presented in pretty varied ways. It just smells indistinctly woody, but nice. Something about it is also somewhat soapy, Something in the woods&florals combo is coming off that way to me. I still prefer pre-reformulated Angel, but I like this more than the stuff Loreal is putting out...for whatever that's worth.

I have worn Mugler Angel edP since about 1993/1994. While I have probably close to 100 other scents, many very niche and stupidly expensive, Angel is still my fav. For years I have read reviews comparing Bond Nuits do Noho to Angel, but for some reason I never tried it. I recently just bit the bullet and bought a full size bottle, and I wish I would have done it sooner! Nuits de Noho is very much like Angel...very much, but with a vegetal/herbal twist that is most prominent in the beginning. By today's standards, Angel is not sweet, but when Angel came out and essentially created the "Gourmand" category, Angel was sweet. Nuits do Noho smells to me like Angel, but less sweet, and with more patchouli and a dash of something green and herbal. Like all scents, I do not believe in "for men" or "for women", but for those who like or need a label...Nuits do Noho is 100% unisex, with some, I'd believe, might even find somewhat "masculine". I find longevity longer than current Angel, but nowhere near as strong or long lasting as my much missed Angel from the 1990s. If you like or love Angel edP, I'd say Nuits de Noho is a safe buy.

The opening is delicious citrus soft sweetness, like a daydreamy trip to a bonfire on a warm summer beach. It then moves to a beautiful incense smell as the jasmine, citrus and rosewood begin to mingle over the patchouli base. This is my favorite part of the development. Brings me back to my college days, warm soft afternoon light filtering through the incense smoke in the apartment. Next, the rosewood really begins to shout on my skin as the citrus drifts away. The very end is musk and vanilla, which has a sour note on my skin. Make sure to spray some on your clothes to retain more of the top notes throughout the wear.

Warm.. syrupy, honey sweet. I believe I think it’s best described on a summer day where the sun creates just enough warmth to bring this one to life. Not crispy 95 degree humid, but 83-85 degree weather with winds that whirl around ur ears and tickles your neck. You’ll start to get a whiff of the pineapple battling with the patchouli. Whichever wins on your skin will be perfectly fine. Alone this one will get attention. Turn heads of course. But mix in a bit of eau de New York (Bond 9) which adds a bit more citrus and watch the compliments unfold. Don’t skip over this one. 7/10.

I'm not going to waste time on a detailed description. Nuits De Noho is to Angel what Wall Street is to Cool Water; a much better, more refined version. Personally, I love it. UPDATE (03 DEC 2011): The more I wear this, the more I can distinguish this from Angel. This is far more "polite". To my nose, Angel has far too much going on. Bond No.9 got it just right. No nose-twitching spice, no cloying sillage and a very balanced unisex quality. I don't care what anybody else has to say about it, Bond No.9's Nuits de Noho is far more classy.

This is the upscale version of Angel!!!! Angel smells great on a select few! On me, it's the perfect smell of a man's B.O. after a long workout at the gym. Uck~! This Bond no. 9 is AMAZING! I get the hint of Angel with the added touch of sophistication of a more businesslike and established woman. Someone who likes Angel but is more refined will love this scent! It lasts all day on me which is saying a lot, as very few fragrances do! Well worth the price you pay due to it's lasting power the the little amount needed.

I was able to buy a full bottle of this for a reasonable price on e-bay and it is definitely authentic. I smell chocolate and caramel notes along with more berry notes and NONE of these are listed in official notes. Also, I looked at all the notes of Angel, which are about 4 times the notes listed, in comparison to Nuits. So I have got to get a sample of Angel to compare with my own nose. I remain very happy with Nuits scent and lasting ability. It is one of my top 5 favorite perfumes.

Strong, sexy and the pineapple note makes it fun. It smells nothing like angel other than a strong patchouli note. Out of all my fragrances this is the one that WOWS the most it is super classy and kind of unusual. Smells expensive and niche with sex appeal. Gender bending and gorgeous. Fantastic sillage and good longevity, this is sexy when wet with less a dry down allure.. This is my 2nd most complimented by men after Wish. Gorgeous ! 10/10.

love love love!amazing magic scent!more simple compare with angel but more deep,more powerful!vanilla and jasmin mixed with pacholli ,perfact!when i first spray this,i think this is old and strong!but!since that,i can not forgot this scent!it attracts me to smell.OMG!for that moment,i find i already loved it!now,it likes a poison for me,although i do not use it everyday,but i must smell it everyday! love this so so much,mark this as my sign!

I bought this about 7 years ago and never really took to it. 3 days ago I tried it again and deemed it okay, but not memorable. My son sprayed himself and it was instant magic. The scent was totally different on him. Each note was excentuated reacting to his chemistry. The difference is the perfume was polar to mine. If it smelled the same on me I would have a new favorite. I'm really getting tired of my perfumes smelling better on my kids.

This is such a stunning composition but you must like patchouli. The patchouli in here is earthy, damp and BO-like, but in a good sexy way. I get the comparison with Angel (which I love), only the dry down here goes in a different direction. As the fragrance unfolds the patchouli subsides and the florals and musky facets start to show off. This is in fact a modern, more Niche and not as sweet version of Angel by Mugler. Wow just wow 😍😍😍😍

Just got this frag after wanting it for a while. Since it is so expensive I was hesitant. I can say it is a great frag, warm, sexy, mysterious. In all honesty it should not cost this much. If you thought about buying it you can find similar scents for a much more reasonable price. Also the bottle looks like it has a sticker with stars on it and it has a plastic top! I was very disappointed in the quality of the bottle for this price.

I love this one. I find it to be warm, sensual,sweet ,but not too sweet with a delicious blend of citrus, jasmine and rosewood that I find delightful. I'm probably the only woman in North America that hasn't sampled Angel so cannot comment on how alike they may be. I got a bon-bon sample of this with a package of 39 (got the 39 samples of Bond on e-bay for $73) This is the one thathas appealed to me the most, so far. '

Nuits de Noho is sort of like a niche, stronger, more unisex version of the original Mugler Angel for women. The opening is a patchouli bomb with slight pineapple and it settles into a woodsy, floral, vanilla and musk scent. The patchouli is still present in the drydown. I do not smell the fruits mentioned in the notes much after the opening. It is pretty good, probably one of the more interesting Bond no. 9 scents.

This is pretty much the love child of TM Angel and Innocent, though on my skin it resembles Angel a bit more. I really like it, but I already own the other two Mugler frags so I'm not sure if this will be a future purchase. I will say that this one is a bit "quieter" than Angel, so if Mugler's frag is a little too loud for you, this one may be a good compromise.

This is Angel in a Bond 9 bottle, but not in your face like Angel! This fragrance is so beautiful! It’s my first bond fragrance and if the other brands are just as good as this one. I’m purchasing more! BTW I blind bought this fragrance and boy was I surprised!! It’s worth buying if you love Angel like me. Chloe Jay

I can see why everyone sees a resemblance to TM Angel. BUT the perfume you should be comparing it to is INNOCENT by Thierry Mugler. Nuits de Noho is an EXACT replica and a pricier one at that! Shame on you Bond people... I love the scent, but TM was first so I'm keeping my loyalty to Mr. Mugler.
