Queens

Bond no. 9 Queens was my first Tuberose love, in fact it was my first exposure on tuberose. I've heard about the flower, and I knew there were perfumes on tuberose, but it wasn't really occurred to me until Queens, I love the scent so much that I searched and compared up and down to know the actual scent of tuberose. This tuberose is creamy, probably due to the mixture with champaca and sandalwood, a bit spicy too, probably osmanthus, like an elevated scent of a garden. The scent is wonderful, really unisex, and stays more than 8 hours on my skin, with a lot of compliments following me, very versatile usage, both on working environment and evening party.

This is definitely a berry filled tuberose! I have probably tested all of the Bond 9's but this one and Chinatown are the only two that I own because I find them outstanding. I give credit to the house for all the outrageous scents that they have developed and even more credit to those who can pull them off! As for me the two I mentioned are the most captivating for my tastes. SPRAY ON MY FRIENDS♡

Got a sample, tried it and BOOM my new absolute favorite! I can see the "uniqueness" of the scent is a subject of contest among the reviewers in here but to put it up shortly, if you are a person who enjoys dark, expensive and very dominative frangrances (like myself) this is your go to perfume. Simply AMAZING! Longevity 8.5/10, Sillage 7/10, General projection 8/10.

A very sensual scent. The sweetness of tuberose in the opening and the intoxicating blend of amber, sandalwood and musk in the drydown just leave me mesmerized with this new fragrance from Bond No 9. I love it and the best way I can describe it on the skin is sexy! Lasting power on me is over 8 hours.

This is my favorite fragrance from the Bond no9 house. Very unique combination of blackberry and tuberose notes. Got many compliments on this one and it performs superbly. Not a blind buy, but it can be certainly appreciated as unique and complex. 5 out of 5

Grape-y tuberose satisfaction. Masterpiece. Among Chinatown and Coney Island, but this rises to the ranks of groundbreaking new fragrance category. Unbelievable. Otherworldly perfection.

The opening of Queens instantly transports me back to being a young boy on a warm summer day in the local park. I am drinking a large glass of grape Kool-Aid. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the flowers are in bloom, the sounds of people in the park fill my ears. Life is simple, fun and uncomplicated. The fruity, syrupy sweet scent of the Grape Kool-Aid, paired with the blooming flowers, matches what I get out the opening of Queens. 4 hours in Queens settles down a bit, becomes a tad bit more mellow on my skin, but it is still sweet and fruity with a little white floral. After 6 hours the Kool-Aid impression starts to wear off and the scent rounds out into a pleasant, sweet floral scent. I get good projection and great longevity on my skin. Bottom line: If you like floral heavy scents, or have a hankering for Kool-Aid nostalgia, this one is worth a sample.

This is such an interesting fragrance to me because it plays between two very contrasting scent experiences. At any given moment through the duration of the wear, I pickup either: 1. gentle wafts of a sophisticated floral accord (primarily osmanthus with just hints of champaca and tuberose), or 2. vibrant blasts of artificial grape/purple flavored kids' drinks. Imagine you're sniffing a lovely floral arrangement when suddenly the giant Kool-aid pitcher from the commercials comes bursting through the wall, spilling purple Kool-aid everywhere. Strangely enough I find myself really enjoying this discordant experience! As far as performance goes, it has insane projection for the first 3-4 hours, as in noticeably detectable 6 feet away, through a mask. Longevity was solid at around 7-8 hours.

It is a true unisex & quite youthful scent but on a woman will fit better IMO. I would also recommend it for a teen boy. Suitable for spring/fall and early summer. It's a nice, pleasant and safe smell that I've experienced before in other Bond No 9 scents. So it's not something completely new. The longevity is about 6-7 hours and the sillage is moderate. Main notes are tuberose, champaca, osmanthus and musk. The blackberries add a youthful vibe in the scent and with the musk feels more unisex just as in CK Be. Champaca and osmanthus have better and richer feeling in these scents : If you love champaca try Comme des Garcons Comme des Garcons Series Luxe: Champaca If you love osmanthus try Eisenberg Le Peche Homme Just saying..

First impression on skin only: This smells like a lovely fruity floral perfume. I'm not sure I'm getting much of the base notes; on my skin it's mostly the top and mid. I'm a sucker for blackberry, and it mixes wonderfully champaca, osmanthus and tuberose. It's rather weak on me and leans feminine, but I can't deny that it smells great. It reminds me of something from my past, perhaps a girlfriends perfume or shampoo, perhaps Georgio Beverly Hills which I haven't smelled in 25 years, but I think this would be great on a lady in any casual situation. Fun and uplifting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scent 7.4/10 Performance 5/10

Heavens this is sweet. Too sweet for my taste. Its a bit like blackberry jam with some white floral notes thrown in. I really thought with champaca and tuberose listed that this would be a heavy, spicy floral hitter. Sadly thats not here. I suspect the poor osmanthus is struggling. You have to be patient whilst the sweetness eases off and you can make it out. This is my favourite stage. The resins seem to dominate all the way through. You couldn't wear this in the heat without knocking folk out in close proximity. It's too strong and heavy. It's a very pleasant but too mainstream sweet and girly for me. Good longevity and sillage.

Let me say this: if this was more affordable I would buy it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately I don't love the opening. Right at the start I get a heavy hit on cardamom and it smells spicy like a spice market. But the dry down is AMAZING... the musk, sandalwood, benzoin and amber are blended so well and it's a comforting, warm, cozy vibe. I couldn't stop smelling my wrists. But I can't get past that opening. It disappeared around 20 minutes but I have to love it from start to finish to justify the price.

Hmmmmm...at first very Tuberose on me, white floral, the it turns to a mix of sandlewood floral. Kinda of different, it went back to a amber/ Tuberose. It turns to a plastic kinda of scent. Its not bad just different. If I had to say anything I’d say it’s very white floral. I’d wear this more in spring and summer not in the freezing NY air. I’m more of a winter patchouli person. This is super heady in in the white floral. I wouldn’t call it Unisex thou.

This was not the dark smokey tuberose I was expecting with the other notes but rather a light flirty kind with the Osmanthus really shining. All the spices seem lost to me and while the blackberry seems prominent on my skin, there is virtually no projection :0/ it smells very "white and pink". I could see some uses for it but not enough to buy a 100ml

Smells like a mash-up of a few other Bonds, namely, Harrods for Her and Chinatown. Bond releases so many few fragrances each year, I can understand they would be hard pressed to invent new scents. That being said, it is a pretty fragrance. Worth a try.

This perfume is just so....meh. It's another floral + fruity combo with no wow factor. Ive had it on now for a few hours and it's just so basic and boring. Nothing here you havent smelled a million times. Nothing is "wrong with it" per se - it just feels uninspired. Im on a Bond No 9 kick and this just doesnt give me that unique / intriguing factor many other Bond's do. I wouldnt take this even if it were free. Leans feminine. Quite linear. Try it yourself, however, every nose is different.

A nice fragrance that starts out super fruity like berries and grapes with a bunch of sweetness, then you get the powdery and sandalwood bits which are nice and smooth followed with a nice light base of cardamom or pepper spice. The floral aspects for me was really nice and subtle but very present, Performance is lacking which sucks as it’s a nice scent.

This smells like a toned down version of the original libre.. withouth the harsh top and the lavender

It opens very purple berryish, but its sophisticated and elegant, this will get attention. For a second it reminded me of Belle d'Opium. Then I get the tuberose, champaca flowers and osmanthus; this is a bright yellow floral all the way. The top berry notes makes it sweet, and the base provides the musky note. Its so musky, this can lean toward masculine or unisex at the very least. I admit that I'm not a fan of that distinctive Bond musky note, and it's in most of their fragrances. This one opens up really nice but that musky notes kinda ruins it for me. Its not masculine enough to be a true guys scent, and the base notes may turn off a lot of women. This one kinda sits in purgatory for me. Its too bad, as this has potential. I feel it needs a little more tweeking to make it work.

Boring. In a world of SO MUCH to choose from, why would anyone choose this rather generic and weak perfume to spend WWAAAYYY too much $$$ on? The description sounded so good, I made a blind buy. Tried it several times.. BIG sigh..does anyone smell tuberose? I don't.🫤 It's so tame and unforgettable I'm shocked anyone is impressed with this. Bergamot, musk and a weak benzoin/sandalwood in the drydown. It doesn't smell bad..it just doesn't smell like much of anything..also the performance is abysmal- a skin scent in 30 minutes..For the money, it's almost an olfactory crime. Bond makes quite a few really nice perfumes BUT this is perfume you wear when you want to be forgotten.
