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. Packaging/bottle=5.5/10 Scent=7.5/10 Longevity=7.5/10 Silage=8/10

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

very interesting perfume, for me in about an hour it changed to a different smell, it still stayed strong, but totally different, I love it. you can say whatever, but it definetly doesnt smell cheap

Its so lovely furthermore its really nice fruity vanilla very oriental and sensual. Sillage is moderate and longevity around 6-7 hours. I love it.

Blackberry zest!!! The lasting power in this scent is wonderful! This is a gem. So fruity and a little peppery.

An absolute beauty! Smells sweet/fruity floral yet slightly musky,divine.Longevity and sillage are great

James Bond 007 for Women. I can almost hear Chandler Bing from Friends in my head saying: “Can the name BE any kitschier?” Still, I could not help myself, I just had to have it, the notes sounded promising, but at the same time I was not expecting much. It turns out that I was both right and wrong. I find the first 30-45 minutes after initial spraying to be gorgeous indeed, but the dry down happens quickly, and even though it is just fine at that stage, I find myself wanting to reapply after an hour or so. Much the same experience I had with the reformulated Stella by Stella McCartney. The opening conjures forth an image in my mind of slices of fresh bergamot placed upon a thick layer of cream and baby pink rose petals sprinkled with black pepper. I get a very uplifting sensation, and it makes me smile as the heart notes blooms with lactonic white flowers, dominated by a sweet yet zesty blackberry. The jasmine and gardenia befriend the rose, resulting in a beautiful, slightly creamy, floral impression, the bergamot and black pepper are still there, but now subtly pulsating in the background. After about 20-30 minutes, the base notes emerge adding a warm, understated sensuality with resinous cedar and white musk, and the black vanilla husk mixes with the lactonic facets of the flowers giving a delicious, smooth sweetness. After about an hour, you are left with a skin scent of sweet blackberry-vanilla with subtle hints of spice, which lasts a couple of hours. I would wear this one as a casual everyday scent year-round, primarily daytime due to its somewhat weak longevity. Sitting close to the skin, it can certainly be used in summertime, but I feel it will shine more in colder periods. Tip: Bring the bottle with you so you can reapply throughout the day.

Time for another review of my new collection. Hmm.. To start with -- the moment I sprayed this on my wrist, I know it's smells generic, not original and I'm very sure I smell this before on someone and she didn't wear anything 007 Bond. Someone with strong personality, confident and charismatic. Still looking for the mysterious part mentioned in the description above -- well, couldn't find it. It's straightforward, I must say. I noticed the blackpepper on the top notes, second after that, blackberries and vanilla take turns and it smells citrusy which I believe came from the lime in the listed ingredients. It smells fresh, young (no doubt) but candy-like a little bit. Definitely for mid 20s to early 30s. It has a very poor longevity, on my skin not even an hour. I think, after 30mins.. *poofff* it's gone! Considering this is a very expensive fragrance I have (because I have to re-spray). Not deserved to be labelled as Eau De Parfum either. Silage is soft to moderate. I don't love it but I don't hate it either. If I could return this and get back my money, I'll definitely do so, unfortunately we don't have that kind of business policy here in Malaysia. So yeah, I'm just keeping it and wear till it finished. Definitely not going to repurchase.

Okay so! I purchased this in hopes that it would be a dupe for my Givenchy hot couture edt since so many people say it smells similar. Well, it is similar but this doesn’t even touch the beauty of hot couture. First off I have both scents on (one on each wrist) and hot couture overpowers this by far but the Sillage of 007 isn’t horrible. Hot couture is hot sizzling raspberry compote with fresh cracked black pepper on top while 007 is a more mild dried berry with an essence of vanilla and a light less fragrant spice. I think 007 is a good option if you like hot couture edt but want something a little more delicate and slightly less sweet. Overall 007 isn’t a bad scent. I probably won’t reach for this much because I prefer the alternative but if I ever run out of hot couture edt I’ll for sure wear it. Also this reminds me of Armani code for men. It definitely has a cologne type vibe once the berry note starts to fade

Blackberry vanilla heaven but definitely not overly sweet/childish, it is quite sexy. I am not getting too much pepperiness, but I guess it helps in steering it away from being junior somehow. I actually got a small shower gel of this as a sample when buying cosmetics months ago and I quite liked it. When I became a member of Fragrantica I looked the scent up and found out what the bottle looked like. Fast forward until today when I was casually browsing an outlet store that sells testers and the like and I found an almost full 75 ml tester of this for 3 (!!!) euros. Both the fragrance and the bottle appeal to me a lot, I find the 007 thing a bit tacky but it is stamped on the bottle very discretely as not to distract from the design, wise choice. I am one happy camper! Love.

Tested this today and must say that I like it! It's creamy and somewhat lotion-like - a plus for me. The berries lend it some tartness but in a very soft way. I can detect the rose and vanilla quite well in the beginning but after an hour all notes blend together nicely. Can't yet say anything about sillage but I received some samples today so will make an update asap. This Bond Girl is on a secret undercover mission - she creeps up on you ;) Verdict: A steal for those who like fragrances like My Name and are searching for a similar fragrance without the price tag. Edit: This also reminds me of EL Modern Muse.

I picked up a 75ml bottle of this at Winners today for $15. I also grabbed the same for the 007 II, the pink one, although I already had a 30ml bottle of that one at home. Both are really good! I liked the pink one but this one has that little bit of edge to it, the musk and pepper and woody notes. Florals are backseat. The primary notes though are the berries and vanilla, which are just delicious and decadent. Love them! It is one nicely put together fragrance. And for $15? Wow. I'm really happy with this find. Performance is excellent. I still smell it clearly the next day, and not even nose to skin.

Even though I get the dreaded “pencil shavings” note that other reviewers have mentioned I still like it anyway. I saw this on deep discount, and actually being active in the James Bond fandom I felt like I had to own this just because. It smells like spicy berries on top of a warm vanilla base, with those odd woody notes in there somewhere. I don’t get any florals at all from it really. It’s simple and nice, like something you would get at B&BW. For the price it’s a great deal. This is definitely not unique though, but I can see most people enjoying it well enough.

This has a juicy blackberry opening with a kick of spicy black pepper. I liked it from the first spray, very fluffy and sweet. The black vanilla husk anchor is strong. As it goes on, the gardenia and jasmine come through, pretty and creamy with a bit of musk. I don't get the plastic note that others have. Both longevity and sillage are moderate on my skin, which I was very happy about, considering some of the reviews that talked about poor lasting power. This was a blind buy and quite inexpensive. I think it could work year-round any time of the day.

Finally, this is mine! This fragrance is all juicy blackberry, black pepper, and vanilla. I smell nothing else and it is delicious! I especially love the black pepper for the fresh kick it gives. I smelled this at Kohl's months ago, but I ordered it from Notino. The bottle is super cool. Looks like a shiny black hand grenade! This perfume on my skin is very long lasting, but the sillage is weak. This is fine for me since I wear perfume for myself not others. If you are on the fence about this one, just go for it!

This is one of the best blackberry fragrances I have ever smelled. Smells like blackberry jam sweetened by vanilla. I don't really get the floral notes at all. The performance isn't the best but it is cheap enough to respray with abandon. If you want a blackberry perfume that still smells like a perfume while being a gourmand type and don't have a lot of cash this is surprisingly very good. I may get a FB. My husband loves it. Most realistic blackberry I have come across.

I like it very much. 'Inexpensive' and lovely Sweet fruity, vanilla ❤️ The atomizer alone is stunning I think you should definitely give it a try if you're into fruity, sweet, vanilla scents, but don't expect a powerhouse, in fact, I believe you'll appreciate more once you have more experience with more 'expensive' perfumes because you'll be able to appreciate this beauty in its simplicity. You'll be surprised how long it lasts

This is the new 007 perfume from the brand. I was expecting something more intense, sensual and mature from this fragrance, but it's not any of those things. This reminds me of VERA WANG-PRINCESS. It's light and smells like candy. I would recommend this, however, mainly for those in their teens and early twenties. It still an adorable fragrance and leaves you with a positive view of brand BOND.

You gotta let this one sit and develop on your shelf for at least 6months. Upon first spray, you will get a synthetic vanilla and pencil shaving note. I was super disappointed and put it up on my shelf and forgot about it. After sitting for 6months, you get a creamy blackberry and sophisticated vanilla, wrapped in a warm musky pepper. It's worth the wait, I promise.

Like this one a lot, just wish it lasted longer :( For the price ( I know it's not high end...) anyway because I wanna douse myself in it lol :P Spicy, spicy :) But in a soft creamy feminine way. I think it may be the black vanilla, cedar and pepper that stands out most on me. It is colder here now though. I like it. Like another poster said "easy to wear" ;)

I've only sprayed this on a tester strip so far but yes this definitely shares similarities with Givenchy Hot Couture EDT. This is sweeter though, and not as smoky. I find the branding a bit cringey, who wants to tell people they're wearing 007? Anyways, it's really pretty. Sweet and sexy! A solid like from me, I'll be buying this when it goes on sale.

This is unisex in my opinion and the opinion of the stranger I forced to smell it at the department store lol. The opening has heavy berries and strong woody notes. It stays this way with the addition of a prominent musk in the drydown. I smell a touch of vanilla and I could swear sandalwood. It's a more masculine version of Hot Couture by Givenchy.

This starts with fresh lemon, mouthwatering citrus, then a softer fruity vanilla comes through. It remains sweetly fruity, with a musky base. This is not a cloying sweetness like pink sugar. It is more of a fresh vanilla, creamy with berries, and some flowers on the side.

On me, this is a light berry vanilla with pencil shavings. That might sound like an insult, but I really rather like it. I wish the fragrance had a bit more strength, but at the low price, I don't mind the slightly weak performance.

This is great for it’s price point! Fruity sweet, but not too sweet, quite original with Alien like jasmine and great longevity...Snatch a bottle now that it's taken out of production and is still cheap.

This is my favorite layering perfume. It really goes great with any perfume. It will turn any perfume more musky/peppery. But I absolutely hate the bottle. It looks so bad on my perfume tray.

This smells like Black Opium by Saint Laurent with a hint of blackberry and a pepper note. Now that it’s cooling down I find this is an excellent fall fragrance. Great blind buy 🍁✨

This was my first ever perfume when I was a teenager and it rewarded me by getting my first compliment about how good I smelled. For years it was my significant perfume.

Blackberry..gorgeous..fruitiness..but not in a sweet & sickly way! Great longevity and a beautiful soft dry down with a hint of musk & vanilla..Addicted!!!

Hot couture by Givenchy aaall the way!!!

As a person who Givenchy Hot Couture EDT is their signature: it has been.... REFORFULATED. Also known as: Sudden Death. That was my sign to mourn its loss and move on, to find another to obsess over. Truly, I should have known better that to ask for recommendations, because this 007 was one of the suggestions to replace it. It is a hardy resounding, echoing NO. Absolutely NOPE. The bottle is somewhat stylish, frankly it has more personality than the Givenchy bottles. That's where the positivity stops. James Bond 007 for Women is repackaged Brittany Spears Midnight Fantasy celebrity perfume. It is obnoxious, synthetic and the epitome of cheap. Fake candy mixed with generic shampoo. Cheap unlit grape or blueberry flavored cigars with wet pencil shavings on top of a Poptart. That and drugstore coconut sunscreen. Maybe faux tan scent also. Slightly salty. Gross. Jersey Shore Chic. I'm a tad bit sad that anyone would recommend this as a sub for Hot couture, as they who do, have never experienced its euphoric unique splendor. Stay away from this 007. FAR AWAY. It is hard to wash off, stays stuck for days and lasts in the bottle forever. But, if you want to smell like the loosest lush in the sorority house on a Pell grant: stock up. It is only $17.99 per bottle!

I went out looking for this as a cheep alternative to Hot Couture as people have suggested that they are similar. Although this shares some similarities to HC personally I would not buy this in place of it. The opening is very generic juvenile raspberry and lacks the depth or interest of HC. It does improve in the dry down as it starts to impart a slight vague powderyness. This is where the similarity to HC starts and ends. The silage and lasting power is very weak. I much prefer HC because it immediately imparts a slightly powedery smokey incense quality that I adore.
