Success

How pretty this one is! I saw it on CLEARANCE at TJ Maxx for $94.00. The box was open, so I decided to try it... One spray, and I'm in heaven. It's 4 hours later now, and I still smell it on me very strong. It's sweet, and warm, and a bit spicy, and I want to have it! I just don't like the price... I can't justify spending this much when I have around 80 other perfumes... I need to stop this collecting madness :) 04/27/21: I kept thinking about this fragrance all the time, so I gave in and bought it! Wouldn’t pay the retail price, but around $100 - worth every penny!

My first impression of this was vanilla with a light undertone of brand-new vinyl shower curtain. Does that make sense? Something about it made the vanilla slippery. And then I get amber and some citrus. Yummy.

yes it's close to a feminin frag but men can use it in cold winter days. it won't be a problem i think. unique and classy, be carefull not to spray on too much

It's kind of cool but very strange. It smells a bit like play doh, duncan hines vanilla cake and plastic. With this description it sounds really off but it's actually wearable and pretty interesting but it's just not my vibe.

I got this on a blind buy. I love so many other Bond No.9 that I figured what the heck. I really tried to figure this one out but I just cant get it. I tried to trick myself into liking it. I dont exactly hate it but I cant even figure out when I would even wear it. Sad thing is, now I can't even get rid of it! Anyone wants to buy a full bottle, hot me up! Haha

Dominant notes are amber, rose, vanilla and cardamom. Had high hopes for this but it's really boring. Smells like baby wipes and honey. Very powdery. Smells like a baby and an old lady all at the same time. I find it too sharp and powdery to be gourmand and I don't think baby wipes would taste good at all.

Very sophisticated perfume I like everything about it except for the dollar signs on the bottle, being somewhat tacky. Well you have to look past that because if you don't you are missing out on one of the greatest perfumes ever. It's definitely along the lines of Shalimar, it has that high quality , sophisticated rich feel to it. It is however more modern than Shalimar ....Heavy vanilla ,iris amber patchouli scent. With a citrusy top note. Nice rose in the middle with iris and tuberose. The spicy ness comes from the nutmeg, cardamom and coriander. Quite fantastic!!! I do not find it smells too gourmand at first, its a spicy oriental yet the dry down resembles vanilla ice cream just a little but its much more than that and if its ice cream it's definitely gourmand ice cream with a little liquor drizzled over it spiced up with some cardamom . Classy stuff ! It is approaching my top shelf !

whatever Bond. $190 for a 1.7 oz...you'd expect to be totally blown away. I really don't get Bond. I've been ordering them with high hopes, trying them, being disappointed and returning them for 2 weeks now. This is the final one. I give up. The intrigue I had in this house is officially over. Success(non andy version): seriously boring vanilla. Lexington(non andy version): nice scent, but way too weak and faint. So New York: weird floral chocolate. New Haarlem: where's the coffee note? I don't want to smell like citrus lavender which morphs into a light maple syrup. I love NY for all: bitter and peppery. Manhattan: cloying & suffocating dry woods/gingerbread combo. Coney Island: CK one. Chinatown: bubblegum I think we're done here.

As already said by THEREALJWIL, this in fact IS the EXACT same fragrance as the original Warhol Success is a job in NY , I have received the answer directly from BOND just a few minutes ago. Quote " Earlier this year,we replaced and renamed all of our old Andy Warhol products. What was known as Andy Warhol's Success is a job in New York is now known as Bond no 9 Success is the Essence of New York .They are both the exact same fragrance, we just updated the packaging and name of it. " There you go:) So all of you lovers of the older version, worry no more , the bottle is even nicer now!!!

I saw this in stores, it's so new it's still not on Bond's web site, and I'm hoping sample vials end up coming out. Sprayed on a card, this was an awesome frag, it's in my list of debating between that and Andy Warhol Success, and regular NY Andy Warhol, which I also wish had sample vials. Still, a really nice scent, nice enough for me to keep it in the back of my mind, and I need to find it to wear a few more times, without sneaking into my Saks Fifth to keep spraying myself, lol.

@THEREALJWIL - it's slightly different, the removed iris, benzoin and a couple other things, and added amber. I think this one is a bit more masculine from what faint memory I have of it, compared to Andy's version of Success. I like Andy's version, but wearing it feels a little too feminine for me. I want this to come out enough for samples to be made, so I can give it another round, but I remember liking this one a lot just from a spray card test.

A warm scent, that sticks to the skin and isn't too loud. In the beginning of this I got citrus and powder. But then it got sweet, and floral. It totally transformed from opening to dry down. The opening is masculine but the dry down is too feminine for my taste. Try it.

I tried this and wasn't overly impressed. I think the weather is too warm for me to appreciate. It kind of has an old lady smell with this. Longevity and Sillage are really good. The smell is what I can't get past. I'm glad all I have is a sample. This is a pass for me.

Kris919, I agree....some even turn to molten metal on me. Although I do like New Haarlem in the dead of winter. It is syrup a bit on me, but a little more than just that. But I think you're dead on with the others. Chinatown the best by far!

This is the same composition as the original Warhol scent....the contract is up to use his name so they changed the bottle and just call it success now....

My Boyfriend just bought me a bottle and I love it! It's like a spicy Shalimar. Love, Love, Love SUCCESS!

That 2 Chainz scent. I love it but then again, Bond is my favorite house period.

Bond needs to bring this back!! It’s insane to me there is not one dupe out

a feminine good floral with staying power, not unisex at all!
