James Bond 007 for Women

This bad boy is like the guy my mind turns down, but I keep desiring. I had loved it so much when it first came out, bought it, returned it cuz the tester smelled better than the bottle i bought, the one I got smelled like fish on me. So I bought it again because I couldnt stop thinking of it. Musk, Bergamot, Blackberry, Cedar, all favorite notes of mine. The Bergamot also contained in Hot Couture Edt,it gives it a fruity dessert syrupy vibe. Idk why leather is not listed in the notes, I def smell something leathery, makes it alittle "twisted" in my mind thats what i love about it, its not conventional. It ain't leather tho it's just its super woody vein as if I'm in a lumber store and usually sandalwood has this realistic creamy lumber smell while cedar is sharper and dry. So I realize that the gardenia graces the cedar with its milky effect creating that lactonic woody aroma. Maybe that's why it smelled fishy on me at first, the milky aspect of it had to macerate. The wonderful milky woody quality of this scent paired with the pepper makes it so unique. This scent reminds me of a Cat woman,sexy and macho, wind in her hair, shiny black leather boots and rides the night. Ill buy it again and keep it this time!! Sillage is great and lasts forever till the next day too. HG status. Im in love so glad I gave it another chance. Update: Forever in love, I stock up on this black prince hoping I can take him to the afterlife with me. I smelled the fresh black pepper bottle in my kitchen the other day as I was cooking and it really reminded me of the black pepper note in this. It is very realistic and strong here, I LOVE it! It became one of my favorite perfumes that I can never take down from the favorites shelf. Bergamot, black pepper, blackberry, rich creamy gardenia and the best of the woods, cedar. This is highly addictive to me. I absolutely love the bottle too, it reminds me of a body armor. I also have the pink II version of this and that one smells closer to Hot Couture EDT than this one and it is a warmer composition due to the pink pepper/champagne presence and the roses. This one is cold just like its bottle, and darker, sweet but not warm, kinda like me haha.

I got this one as a gift and my initial reaction was 'Ew. No. NOT my style at all, wouldn't touch it with a stick!'. Well, guess what. Over past years, this became one of my most favourite cool weather fragrances of all time! The vanilla in cold weather sits very gently behind the peppery fruity cloud and the dry down I get even the next day is to die for! Needless to say, this longevity is one of the best I have in my collection. Sillage is also very good. Just to explain a bit, I HATE vanilla, in most of its forms and variations. The peppery blackberry is beautiful but overall impression was sweet, fruity vanilla with something on the background that had the same character as patchouli... If this wasn't a gift from my boyfriend, I would give it away immediately. However, BECAUSE it was a gift from him, I wanted to wear it at least now and then, to show appreciation (I don't think he smelled this before buying, he's the type to go with an advice from friends blindly). I think it started with the weekend I got this: rainy and grey, moody; we were on a romantic getaway but none of our plans really went well... Muddy from the bottom to the top, with our feet wet and cold, the food was just something last minute obtained from a small supermarket... But we were so in love we didn't care. And that's what stuck with me, with this scent. I found myself going back to that out of nostalgia and in the end, I found a place in my heart for it even regardless the memories. I have a spare bottle and I only got them for three or four fragrances. So, strong hate to love relationship 😅

Oh, this is quite a rare gem! It's one of the only perfumes I've repurchased over the years, I'm sad I did not get a full bottle but I had it so many years ago and was afraid it had changed. Fortunately it's still awesomeness in a bottle (although I hate the name). It's so very well blended, a fresh opening, just enough jasmine in the middle to make me love it and a dry down that to me feels somewhat metallic (I know that's not a thing but it's what I am left with, must be the cedar and remnants of blueberry). I don't get a lot of vanilla or musk, it's sweet but not too much, I would say it's like when you bite into juicy ripe blueberries on a hot summer day (a bit gourmand if you wish). The lasting power is awesome for the price, I love it more that so many other designer perfumes so I'm thinking of trying the flankers too. As an overall image, think leather jacket and boots kind of day, makes me feel badass! It's suitable for a day at the office (since it does not have such a good projection) but also for a night out, and definitely an all year round fragrance although I would not reach for it in summer during the day if it's really hot. It's staying in my permanent collection and that is something really rare!

This perfume got me immediately addicted to smelling where I sprayed it! I purchased a sample of it first and now have a full bottle on its way. To me, it smells like Amethyst by Lalique if you take out the green notes, amp up the vanilla, and then you get the white florals added in the notes. It is so beautiful! I bought it for less than $15.00 on Fragrance Net. I can forsee myself getting a back-up bottle of this soon as it is intoxicating, a little unique, but still will probably be an easy grab for me, too. I would definitely recommend it. Edit 5/24/22: Now I am confused. LOL. I still absolutely love this fragrance....I have a back up bottle and think I'm going to get a second back up bottle! But now, I know this is going to be a near 180, but now I smell Nina Ricci Chant d'Extase. I think it is a difference in the weather. It was much cooler 2 months ago when I got a much sweeter scent that smelled similar to Lalique Amethyst. I LOVE Nina Ricci Chant d'Extase so no harm, no foul that it is smelling like that one now that it is warmer. Maybe this means it is a year-round fragrance that acts very differently with the weather??? Regardless....love this one! And the bottle is very cool, too ;)

Review is for my own reference - I am pleasantly surprised by this! It's a yummy fruity pepper perfume! <3 Those notes remind me of Black XS by Paco Roban, not a similar scent, but similar as it's sweet and peppery (Black XS is more sweet and rosy and 007 is more woody). I wish the silage was a bit stronger. It feels like a sexy scent to me, very good for a cool night, the 007 brand adds to the mystery of it too. I think the price is too high, Fragrance net has it for about $55 for 75ml, to me that's too high on discount and I'm not sure how well the longevity would be. I would DEF keep this if gifted and I would buy it right away if it was $20-30! I'll add it to my watch list. Very well balanced, at first your get the sweet fruit, then pepper, and then some woody notes. If you breathe it too hard it smells a tiny bit like cherry halls. Edit: oh yes I really like this!!!! It slightly reminds me of a celebrity fragrance or maybe Vera Wang Princess? I can't quite put my finger on it. It might be the vanilla note? I prefer the dry-down woodsy notes of 007, and I prefer the fruitiness or Black XS PR, really hard to choose between the two!!

This might be one of the best of the current drugstore fragrances, at least in my country (Germany) where we have lots of boring generic stuff like Betty Barclay or S.Oliver on the drugstore shelves. It's not a must have to me, but I think it would be a very good choice for a small gift. I'd certainly be happy if someone gave me a bottle of 007. The first spray is mostly blackberry. Then the perfume becomes soft woody with a lot of cedar and a bit powdery+creamy with a make-up vibe, freshened up by a winey rose and the blackberry. The pepper is noticeable, but not bitingly sharp. There is a hint of vanilla, but this is no sweet gourmand. It's quite linear, but I like that the fresher notes don't vanish too quickly. 007 balances dry, warm and clean accords. I wouldn't wear this with an evening dress like in the ad, it's more of an everyday scent. Good for the office: Feminine, grown up and inoffensive with medium intensity, low projection and average to good longevity.

A very unique scent, I mostly get a mixture of berries sprinkled with pepper. I like this one- it isn't innocent smelling it is quite deep and mysterious smelling- I would describe this as soft spicy/dewy fruity scent. It is definitely a winter scent- it is strong intoxicating and juicy. I tried this at boots chemist months ago and I went in the other day looking for it but they no longer have it. I am disappointed because i wanted to test it again and was going to potentially buy it. The longevity and Silage are really good- lasts 8 hours on me and people complimented me on it where usually no one ever does as they cant smell fragrances on me.

i have problem to find my new signature,since i ́m looking for really long lasting parfum, i want it to be almost permanent on my skin, like a tattoo:) well, this is even more than i expected! yesterday at 13.oo i put only one spritz on my wrist. i went to work, went home, had shower,etc. and i swear i woke up in the middle of the night smelling this!^_^ now, more than 24hrs after applying, i still smell it gently. opposite to reviewer bellow, i find the lasting quality comparable to Britney ́s Fantasy, which i also own. in this beauty i can detect rose milk and pepper, it ́s mature and very sexy. my only problem is, that scent is little too oriental for my taste, so i still consider buying it.

This one smells like candied blackberries with soft cream. It's milky and sweet. The pepper note dries down quickly and I only notice it during the first spray. It lasts VERY long for a fruity sweet scent. It reminds me of the blackberry version of Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy, but it doesn't have a shampoo note like Midnight Fantasy. I don't think this smells sexy--to me it smells more like a youthful, delicious scent. I would not get this if you don't like sweet scents. I personally love sweet scents (even if they are supposedly below my age range) and enjoy this before bed, so I can smell like a fruity dessert.

This is very good scent and very very good lasting power. I spray it in the morning and after shower in the evening i can still smell it. Wonderfull. I definetely could smell berry note and vanilla with some depth (pepper). And thats it. You can wear it everyday and anytime or occasion. And definetely agree it is safe blind buying. Update: OMG I just figured it out that this parfume is exactly the same as Viva la jucy Gold couture without caramel note. I sprayed them on each wrist and yes it is the same. And now I know why this James Bond parfume so popular.

Wow, this is not what I expected. It is so much better! Fragnet has this for around $17 bucks and with the 007 name I figured this would be another cheap generic store fragrance with nothing to offer. I was wrong. This is just Lovely fresh blackberries and vanilla with jasmine. It is a little heavy on the sweetness at first but the drydown happens pretty fast and some of the candy sweetness fades so it is more tolerable. A yummy warm winter fragrance. And cheap enough that I feel like I can justify a FB.

I bought this little black beauty today (30 ml) because of the wonderful vanilla dry-down. An it smells so good when I'm drinking a cup of black coffe and a tiny glas of cream liqueur, life can't get any better now :D I also can smell the berries, very much fresh black-berries, and the sjasmin and the gardenia, perfeckt blended with the vanilla, and I can higly recommend this nice perfume :)

I love this fragrance! Who would have thought... It is a wonderful surprise and I do agree it smells similar to Hot Couture. (which I adore!) There is a delicious note in there that's like pie filling mixed with vanilla. Just perfect! Deeper and musky for fall and winter. It's not over powering so would be safe for the office. Very glad to have added this to my collection!

Bought this today in the sale- Beautiful deep dewy juicy fruit smell- dark mouthwatering and captivating very sensual and seductive scent. inexpensive too, well worth the money, You get a top quality luxurious smelling fragrance for a really good price with this one. The dry down smells of leather and vinyl- I adore this scent it is intoxicating delicious.

A cheap thrill easy to wear peppery berry scent with an incensey musky base. Indeed very much like Hot Couture on opening minus the smokiness and strength ends like SJP lovely once the day is through. Easy to wear and office appropriate but decent enough and sultry enough for evening a great option to keep in my handbag. A lovely scent for a great price!

I am so surprised that it's actually good. I find it delightful. The berry scent really reminds me of Hot Couture EDT, which is much more expensive of course. Berries, vanilla, some black pepper and some light white floral note are the notes I get from it. I think I would totally wear. A very good replacement for Hot couture. I recommend to try this one.

Something in it has touched me! Mild and feminine. Not directly in-the-face seductive, or an overtly sexy one. It's more in the line of Trussardi My Name or Lacoste pour femme. Soft, silky, light, and unforgettable. Vanilla, a little breeze of berries to avoid being generic vanilla-sweet line.I love it!!!!

Wow its really too bad this is being discontinued! This smells truly amazing and I love it. Beautiful blended vanilla and florals. I didn't know about this fragrance until I joined this site. I'm thinking poor advertising is why it's not being made anymore. The actual fragrance is amazing.

I bought the gift set at Kphl's for 50% off and I do not regret it! I'm terrible at describing scents so I won't even try. But this lasted all day on my skin and seemed to evolve and change all day. I absolutely love this and can see myself wearing it a lot in the cooler months.

Blackberry Danish Dessert 😋 It's about 95% a dupe for Hot Couture EDT only difference is that this is sweeter and less spiciness. Absolutely love it specially for the price. First hour has the peppery blackberry notes then the yummy vanilla comes trough making it gourmand on me.
