Sutton Place

Despite kinda loving this, I can get behind people leaving poor ratings/reviews. The only niche thing about Sutton Place is its performance. This fills rooms like it thinks it is Amouage, but oh boy, let me tell you that farce ends there. Crumple up odds and ends of all your pleasant basic colognes into one perfume, and that is pretty much what this is. I can find bits and pieces of Percival, Sauvage Elixir, drydown of Dylan Blue, and I am sure there are others. Pretty much follows the premise of an Axe/Lynx body spray, but this is just taking that idea and doing it with quality ingredients. In fact, if I smelled SP blindly and were told it was a Versace frag, I wouldn't question it. But, in a world where most guys are wearing Sauvages and Bleu de Chanel's, any average person that gets their nose on you wearing this will think you smell damn good. For the record, this does smell good. Premium, yet unabatingly basic... It's like if Roja Dove were told to create an Axe dupe using his own materials. So what is wrong with Sutton Place? The scent itself is very alluring to the masses, not to mention it comes in one of the coolest Bond no 9 bottles, but the MSRP this goes for is gut-wrenching. I would be very underwhelmed if paid $400 for this. It's a joke. A glaring problem with a release like this from Bond is that it prices out the average consumer in the designer market who would be attracted to this, so a large chunk of the people getting their noses on this stuff and leaving reviews will be enthusiasts with different expectations for four-hundred-dollar niche items. Instead of offering something new, this is just reminding them of when they smelled those cheap rack scents as a newbie ten years ago. Downvotes galore. So why do I love it? I got my bottle for $156 Cad. FragBuy had a holiday promotional sale which, when combined with some gift cards, allowed me to knock this down to what it inarguably should be selling for at retail. This is an extremely solid designer category entry with good quality and a little extra oomph, and I paid a designer price for it. I couldn't be happier. I love Sutton Place, but I also cannot recommend it unless you have the ability to pick it up at a discount greater than 50%. TLDR; Smells good; the bottle is good; the price is a joke so offensive that it deserves to be cancelled on Twitter.

Laurice hit another home-run with this masculine, fruity Oriental. They say that you should never judge a book by its cover, but if you like brown crocodile with classy gold lettering, you will LOVE Sutton Place. Refined, elegant, sophisticated, mature, and wealthy are adjectives that spring to mind. Although tobacco is not listed in the notes, I get a sweet pipe tobacco note on the dry-down. Also, there is a strong fruity scent that reminds me of apples and pomegranate. Very Middle-Eastern. A scent fit for a king, with a price tag to match. Be careful not to apply more than two sprays because for the first two hours it goes into beast mode. Later, it fades away very quickly. Kind of the way a diplomat makes a good first impression and then moves on to the next person, place, or thing. But don't be fooled. This diplomat of a fragrance is not a one-dimensional, boring charlatan. It is the complete opposite. Classy to the core. Merci, Laurice. You're the best.

Not a super niche or complex fragrance, but it doesn't need to be. Sutton Place smells great, and can easily be worn as a signature scent. The leather and fruits are the most prominent, but it's a very smooth leather accord. The pineapple and vanilla give it a great sweetness, but without over doing it. Can be worn casual and dressed up, and can be worn by men of any age. Such a sexy fragrance overall. It also performs amazingly and lasts throughout the day. I love Bond No 9, however I do admit that the majority of the their fragrances, including this one are overpriced at retail. But this can be bought for a fraction of the price at discounters, where I absolutely would say it's worth it. Give this fragrance a proper wearing when you sample, and decide from there Overall: 8.5/10

This one is super tricky very good scent after wearing it several times but the composition is complex I don’t care what anyone says it smells like idk anymore lol but I like it a lot I hit the love button and the smell is just fruity...... idk what lol the pepper is a heavy hitter as well in this can be worn any season and most noses will appreciate it I believe after first 30 min has past it eases its pepper and the smell is I still say indescribable lol but it’s nice this should be one of there best sellers def

I don't really get the hate on this fragrance that much.. It starts out with a really punchy juicy bergamot followed with a tart note from the pineapple and a bit of an ozonic/ammonia scent from the cassis. That lasts for about 20ish minutes and then dries down into a soft leather musk scent. It doesn't smell very generic to me, or like axe either. It won't blow you away by any means but It's overall not a bad scent. There are better choices however I would consider this as a good buy as well.

One of the most slept on fragrances on the market. Great every day, every season, signature worthy scent. Smells super clean, fresh and the leather note isn't too overpowering and gives it a nice masculine feel. One of my, if not my most, complimented fragrances. Price is steep if you go to retailers but typically can be found at a reasonable price on discounters. Although high price isn't ideal it does probably help it not get overplayed.

I love this fragrance. Fresh citrus with a sexy vanilla dry down. Compliments galore. This is one of my favorite Bond fragrances along with Scent of Peace for men and Cooper Square. I get WOW head turning compliments with these fragrances. Bond gets a bad wrap from the guys but the ladies love it. I love the art of fragrances and I just like smelling good but compliments are a plus. You'll definitely turn heads with this one.

A nice smelling fragrance and appropriate for office and casual. Performance wise is moderate and won't offend anyone. Soft spicy, but overall well blended without single standout note. Sutton Place is an easy going perfume more into designers' realm. So, don't expect anything extraordinary or spectacular. Overall it's a 7/10, imo.

This surprised me as a nice , clean scent . Reminds me of PDM Percival but lasts pretty longer. The top orange and pineapple stay during the dry down. The dry down is nice . Has a good balance of leather and musk . I give this one a 7.7/10. Worthy of getting if you can get it from a discounter .

I have 45 bottles of niche perfumes and this is one of the best smelling- if not the best smelling scent I own. A delicious, unique, long lasting, masculine leaning unisex that should honestly be considered one of the GOATS. It blows my mind that it’s rated so low.

A lot of people hate on Bond for no reason. If you don't own the frag or have not tried it for real you should stfu. Nice fresh scent for the spring summer season that will get you compliments from the ladies. Last but not least it lasts all day long

I absolutely love this fragrance. Something about the leather and fruit mixture really makes this a sexy fragrance to me. It does lean masculine, but can be worn easily by either gender. Not too sweet, not too leathery, perfect.

This is very nice refreshing sent. Don’t understand the negative reviews? Very nice citrus and pineapple sent that dries down to a woody backbone. Could easily be a signature sent in the spring, summer and fall. Really nice.

My bottle's juice smells very good. I like it and i enjoy wearing it. Summer spring or fall. People compliment when I wear it. Got it for about 130.

If you go to Jomashop. The price is $170. At that price it is worth it. It smells amazing. You are not going to smell the same as others.

This mug is soooo good. Always like it when its not the most popular but shines for me. On clothes it goes crazy

@dapperdon, pretty sure a baller like 2 chainz can afford more than one bottle of cologne

Literally can NOT keep my hands off my man when he wears this 🤪

Got a full bottle, full presentation, anyone wanna swap?

Sutton Place This fragrance opens with a splash of synthetic pineapple, tangerine, jasmine and something that reminds of a late 90's, early 2000's fragrance. After the initial burst mellows out, you get waffs of patchouli, lily and leather. The mid hangs around and melds with the fragrance as it begins to dry down. In the dry down you get musk, vanilla and amber. This is a masculine fragrance, that is very close to being unisex. I would wear Sutton Place in the beginning of Spring or end of Fall, or any other “warm” day. Honestly, this may be an all year around fragrance, but I am not sure how it will perform in high heat or frigid temperatures. Due to that nostalgic DNA found in this fragrance, it’s a “yes” for me, full bottle worthy.. In my mind, I equate maceration with marination, and my bottle has been sitting for over a year. I think that it may have matured a tad. Make no mistake though, this is not a mass-appealing fragrance, but I thoroughly enjoy it. Thanks for checking out my review. In my writeups, I prefer not to talk about cost. Most fragrances are too expensive at retail, but between the gray market and second hand “buy and release” options, price is totally subjective.
