James Bond 007

Pros: -Very light and inoffensive scent that you can wear to the office or for a night out -Light sillage will not bother those around you even if you overapply -Warm sweet fruity scent with a nice small spice to it -Overall mixes and smells good -Unique bottle has a built in cap so no more fumbling around trying to find the cap or putting it back on -Universal Cologne for day,night, summer, winter etc... -Slightly cheaper than other colognes Cons: -Scent is so light that it probably won't be appreciated unless somebody is a few inches from you especially if it is under your clothes -Your nose will get used to the smell within minutes of spraying this and you will personally not smell it much afterwards -May find yourself constantly applying more as sillage is poor -This is NOT what Bond what wear. It is by far not the manliest cologne (that being said its also not overly feminine) -Smell is just "Good" nothing more, nothing less. If your looking to state something else than this is not the cologne for you. Personally I used to wear this cologe alot but I found the sillage was very poor and the duration of the scent wore off quickly. I now bring this with me while I am working/travelling as it is the safest cologne that will not offend anybodys senses. It is made by Proctor and Gamble (So honestly I never really expected much) and is on the relatively cheaper side of colognes. If you can get this on sale and are looking to start trying out cologne I would recommend it. If you are looking for a statement cologne (one that says something about yourself) or signature one then I would not use this. This cologne doesn't have the same impact as others I have tried but it definitly is one that I still enjoy despite the poor sillage and longevity.

I got this for my first Christmas with my husband because I liked the lavender/mint/fresh scent and it wasn't too heavy or old-smelling. Will I graduate him to a new cologne for his next birthday or next Christmas? Yes. Was it perfect for newlywed 22-year-olds? Also yes. Who cares that it's James Bond? It has a suave bottle and an enjoyable, mild, fresh and natural scent (I have no idea why people think it smells like apple pie. NONE.), and that's exactly what I wanted for him.

Ok, so the first thing to point out is that this smells as much like Youth Dew as it does YSL homme nuit, ie nothing at all. Secondly, apple pie? Really? Maybe I use the wrong bakery. I like the fragrance, for all thirty minutes it lasts, but do I want to imagine Daniel Craig stepping out of the sea smelling of this? No chance, as an affordable fragrance this ticks a decent amount of boxes. Lavender, cinnamon, a hint of synthetic bergamot. 6/10

Does it smell nice? Very much so. Does it smell like YSL's la Nuit? Almost exactly Is it inexpensive? Sure Does it last super long? Not really, but neither does la Nuit when compared to Bvlgari Aqva. Does it have anything to do with James Bond? No, and no one cares. It's just a smell. James Bond doesn't wear cologne. He smells like gasoline, gun smoke and a cold martini.

Warm, fruity opening. Sweet lavender/woody drydown. I really got like 6-8 hours with this one so I don't get the weak longetivity comments. Definitely for colder months only and for teenagers. The sprayer is a bit difficult tho, but overrall very nice pleasent lavender apple woody scent. 7.5/10

i got a bottle of this yesterday from harrods i really like it. i was expecting it to be horrible but its really nice, its quite dark and musky yet alluring as well. you could imagine james bond wearing something like this. its a very much like a dunhill fragrance

My husband wears this and I love it - definitely sexy and the lavendar makes is comforting at the same time.

to be honest it smells very similar to ysl's la nuit de 'lhomme

How best to do an honest review? James Bond 007 by Eon Productions (P&G - multinational consumer goods corporation). Let's start by saying it's not bad. Not 'not bad' meaning 'it's ok'; just not bad, as in it's not unpleasant. The opening is a warm fruity and mildly spicy affair. I've noticed that a lot of modern fragrances stick geranium into the mix; as has this. I can only assume that it's to stop sweet and fruity blends from being to heavy. The geranium is drier, more green, and able to take the scent in a different direction. Unfortunately I think it's this that's making a lot of modern smells quite samey. Anyway, the fruity smell dies down quite quickly and you can just about smell the lavender coming forward. Unfortunately it's at this point that everything else becomes noticeable (if you sniff hard enough). There's the sandalwood, the rose, the patchouli, the moss; all mixed up together. I can't say that I'm picking out cardamom but the sweet woody earthy smell must be the vetiver. Everything, all at once. Not heavy (the sillage is very weak) but there. Make the most of this concoction though because in about an hour it will all fade away. In summary it's not bad; the intention is there. You certainly couldn't dislike it. It's just a shame that the ingredients have been shaken together when perhaps they could've been stirred more carefully. *do you see what I did there?* UPDATE You can actually get about 4 hours longevity out of this, if you put a load on! Also, should've said, the lingering smell (after about 3 hours) is actually quite nice. Warm and sandalwoody.

As people on here have stated, just a fresh scent, nothing that distinguishes itself from similar fragrances. In saying that, I do like it, I would recommend it for times when you are going to be around people you do not know (conferences/travelling/events) as it is calm and pleasant and sits close enough that only people who know you well enough to be close to you will notice. Longevity tends to be better for me when applied in the evening. When I spray for heading out for the night I can still smell traces of it when I lay down to sleep. When I spray in the morning (standard neck, chest and wrist) it is all but gone at at lunchtime. As with these types of scent a spray on your undershirt/t-shirt will do wonders for helping it project. I would recommend getting it when on sale, I am on my 2nd 30ml bottle and it does tend to be on a lot of "deals of the Week, 2 for 3" type sales a lot.

I allways imagined James Bond wearing something like Aramis, Azzaro PH or Acqua di Selva (during the day) and YSL Pour Homme, Caron's Yatagan or Guerlain's Heritage at the begining of a hot night... JB007 is the total antithesis of all of these... yet, it is a smooth scent, with a very good drydown. The apple is omnipresent, and after an hour lavander & moss are present too. After all, a spy - who enter now and then in safe areas etc. - have the license to kill, not the license to smell; so, he don't need a very powerfull perfume :))... I suppose that's the reason JB007 is a quiet and smooth frag; but I'm sure that a collector will find it pleasant and perfect for a day in an office. Overall, a deserved 7/10.

Ok can someone tell me what generic smells like? A lot of people say a lot of colognes smell generic. I was just wondering if someone could explain to me what generic is? OK this is one of those colognes first impression is cheesy because of the bottle, but if this was released back in 1965 it would’ve been a huge hit. Even the telescopic spray nozzle is fairly unique and bond like. The cologne itself opens up citrusy goes down through the lavender notes and ends up with more Oakmoss and vetiver The sandalwood is there but not as strong as the aforementioned. Overall this isn’t anything crazy spectacular, but it’s a good all-around sand has a decent performance and it’s not a bad smelling fragrance.

This smells surprisingly good for sure, and a really cool bottle as well especially for the price! This mixes very well with Zara Scent #4 in a weird mysterious provocative way, spicy, but a smooth kind of amber which both the frags have individually. This is a little spicier and less ambery... sure it’s a tiny bit generic, but there aren’t many I’d bet walking around with Bond cologne on haha... But yeah and try that mix!!! Probably like 40$ tops for the both of them and it makes a great wearable scent that smells much more ‘expensive’ and sofisticated than the sum of its parts!

I bought this one when it first came out and was on display in Harrods. It is ok, nothing special about it and to me it has the same vibe as Boss perfumes, very similar character imo. I can smell apple, citrus, roses, wood and although it's not mentioned here I can also smell vanilla, good portion of it. The patchouli is weak but present. It's not fresh on me and because of that it suits the evening and more formal occasions. Glad I had it but wont buy again, nothing special about it

I was given this as a gift and found it to be a fresh scent. I basically smell a citrus note and it remains there until it disappears. I agree with Forget Freeman 100% a very good scent when you want to blend in and be acceptable. The conference cologne for when you don't want to stick out but be part of the group dynamic. Harmonious... yes, that is the affect of the cologne. I doubt anyone could ever be offended by this scent for you will never come off as assertive.

A versatile, casual scent. It has a pleasant sweet floral opening that could be mistaken for berries easily. The main issue is performance. A typical application gives weak longevity, where a "robust" application may push you into moderate territory. Do not expect much sillage at all, after hour two. For me, this fragrance hits a nice balance of price to performance. It is not expensive at all, so I am not so disappointed by its lack of staying-power or projection.

James Bond has been noted to wear a few different fragrances, mostly in the books, and in the movies on occasion. Eucris (already mentioned) by Geo F. Trumper, Dunhill for Men, and Floris No. 89 have all been attributed to Bond. So, when smelling this fragrance, the entire time I had it on, I could only think one thing to myself: "James Bond smells like apple pie?"

The opening is sweet with an apple Kind of scent. The drydown is woody but sweet at the same time. Don't excpect a lot of projection of this scent. If you'd like to wear it for yourself or in Close Encounter situations it'll do the Job. Just make sure to buy it in a set or obtain it for a smaller Price because you can buy better performing Edts for 30 Dollars.

My first ever fragrance back in 2016, gifted to me and the fragrance that got me into this hobby - not because it's great, but because it's a nice smell - ideal for a first fragrance. It doesn't last long, doesn't project well, but it's a nice fresh, clean smell that will leave you, and anybody that gets close, with a sense of olfactory comfort.

Nice fragrance, not too offensive, suitable for everyday use. I like it. Some say it has poor longevity. Hm, wouldn't say so, I sprayed it in the morning (9 AM), it's 6:30 PM at the moment and I still can smell it on my wrist. Sillage is as it should be, soft and nice. Excellent office fragrance, but good for the first date as well.

This is a bottle my mom got my dad every year for fathers day lol, he had like 3 and gave me one and i am just disappointed that it is this weak considering the scent aint all that bad for the price (before dupes hit the markets) so is it bad? No, do i recommend it? Hell no!

Fresh, clean, sexy. It's not what James Bond would wear, if we're talking about Sean Connery being James Bond (He'd be more of a Tom Ford/tobacco fragrance kinda spy) But I can see Daniel Craig wearing this. AAAnyway...it's a nice frag. :))

If it wasn't for the longevity and sillage this would be my perfect fragrance. It smells similar to la nuit de l'homme but more intense, but this makes lndl feel like it's a beast in performance. 5/10 (would be 9 or 10 if it performed)

I dont understand why people "hate" this fragrance? Maybe because a name(brand) James Bond...People dont be a haters..it's a nice,sexy masculine,pleasant fragrance..no mistakes with this..big + from me :))

This is really not as weak or generic as people will have you believe. At under 30usd for the 125ml,this is amazing value. Can be worn in the office or casually on the weekend.

It's good, but it has nothing to do with James Bond! Has no charm or elegance, is not sexy, is not mysterious. Bond would never use it. It is light, fresh, fruity ... common.

This is actually really good! The opening is fantastic! I would say this is what a modern day James Bond would wear in a night time setting. I give this a 8.7/10

pleasant unique warm cozy smell with soft projection but only maybe 3 hours of longevity. fun fact: same perfumer as ombre leather by tom ford

I got to try this today... I really liked the smell. It smells FRESH! I like it!!! But I had to keep spraying because it didn't last long.

Good for teens around 12-15, if you’re older just get something a bit higher quality. I used to wear this as a kid and it was very solid

bought this for my boyfriend, actually thought it smelled good, bit skeptical about the name of james bond,but it worked!!!!!

I love the smell of this even if the fragrance snobs don’t. If only it had more performance and longevity! Great bottle!

Apple pie, brine, urinous, and saltwater. What a strange beast.

Nice scent and bottle, but longevity is too weak. 7/10

Great Memories with that fragrance. Still like it.

nice cheap despite the quality ,

Smell: The smell isn't bad, it just smells synthetic and 'young'; like a playboy. Don't hate me for saying this, but I can imagine the MODERN Bond wearing this (starting from Pierce Brosnan)... Definitely not the older characters. Night time scent, but is versatile because of the crappy sillage. Longevity: 4+ Hours Sillage: Weak to Moderate sillage... seriously, For this price... Rip off. Occasion: I can imagine this being worn in education and clubbing occasions. Can be used to pick up girls. It is a night time scent,but the sillage is crap, so you can wear it daytime too, LOL. Age rating: I can guarantee that the young crowd will like this. I cannot give a specific end age, but I can say that if you still feel young (21-24) then you will like this too. I am certain that the smell of this fragrance was trying to market the 17+ audience (maybe even younger as to 15!), otherwise the advertisement itself, absolutely failed. "Most dangerously sophisticated" my arse! Design: The bottle design is probably the best thing I like about this fragrance. Made looking like the grip panel of a handgun is really cool, in my opinion. Would I buy this again: Would I buy this for the start is the question! If the price were lower, then yes I would buy this. Otherwise this is (currently) definitely an overpriced fragrance. My final verdict: 6/10. I don't hate the smell (because I'm still young myself). I do however hate the price at the moment, not something I'd put my money on for such weak longevity and sillage. I can also easily get something that would smell better for the James Bond character. If the price were cheaper, I'd rate it higher. Mainly my rant on the price, but who can blame it, it just came out after all.

Great for teenagers. To me it has a distinct sweaty locker room type smell, guess it's just the type of scent teenage boys overspray after gym class. Doesn't smell bad though. Longevity and sillage are not great. I kinda love the bottle. Looks cool, especially when light shines through it and the spray nozzle has a cool James Bond gadget feel when you telescope it out.

A cheap, versatile fougère. I honestly liked this when I first started my fragrance journey and hadn't tried many things. However, now that my nose has developed and I've experienced better quality designers, I wouldn't recommend it anymore.

This is a scent which i used to rock in middle school. Its sillage is not the best aswell as the lackage of projection. It is fine for its low price but if wanting to use it for a date or some sort it is rather non usebale.

I went to the drugstore recently and was "attacked" by the sales associate who was holding a tester bottle of this. The bottle itself looked tacky, gimmicky and cheap so I had no interest in trying it but she sprayed a paper strip anyway and handed it to me. I inhaled deeply and to me, it smelled just the way the bottle looked and I hadn't expected it to be any better. It smelled generic, boring, cheap, sharp, old and outdated. Smelled like many other colognes I had smelled before and hadn't liked. I told her it wasn't what I looked for in a fragrance and she backed off. I feel this scent was only done and released to coincide with the new Bond movie coming into theaters around the same time. Just a marketing ploy. The cologne isn't worth the price, nor is it worth your time or attention.

As im disliking these marketed scents (well... lets make a scent from our most famous gentleman-spy on earth..duhh im waiting for a scent from the batcave now!) I was giving it the benefit of doubt testing it. The cardamon and rose makes this apple/bergamot combination smelling badly generic and offputting for me. The warmth of the cardamon truly crashed the freshness of bergamot and apple in a bad way. Where onyx turned out unique and well this one turned out bad.(imo its a mixture of onyx and boss in motion) I tested it and the first hour was the worst. When i think of James Bond i think of a gentlemans scent not this. After 3 hours the freshness is gone and its better but not good. And again another marketing trick crashed in pieces.

It smells generically pleasant nothing special would of been a good office/casual scent if I could smell it 30mins from initial spray... I won't bother with it. There is no way James Bond is putting this on. Celebrity fragrances are deceiving, many people genuinely think celebrities do actually come up with their own scent and use them and people fall into this trap and buy them but it ain't true. For example Johnny Depp's signature fragrance is Zino Davidoff which is the one he uses and admire and not Dior sauvage. But how many people are actually aware of this fact?

Apple top notes, yes. And not just apples, but apple *pie.* Was there ever such a gap between persona and execution? This isn't James Bond of the British Secret Service. It's Aunt Bee of Mayberry. Fully dried it smells like that wretched clean/fresh/sporty scent molecule I smell too much of these days. Back in 1966 they came out with 007 cologne (google it) - as I recall, it smelled a WHOLE lot better than this!

i do not like this scent profile at all. the opening is quite disgusting in my opinion, the dry down does not do it any favors at all, allthough the base could be worse. the bottle is allright, but the cap is kinda cool ngl. this is a soild 4/10 (the cap gives it all the 4 pionts)... (i really like the cap.. click click)

My 9-year old son smelled this at Walmart and wanted it. I think it was $25 at Walmart but I found it on Ebay for $9 with free shipping. Done. Received it today and he loves it. I sprayed some on the back of my hand to test it out. It smells nice. Nothing too complex here but certainly nothing offensive.

Far too feminine for James Bond. Besides, it reminds one more of some cheap Bruno Banani type scent, or, at best, Hugo Boss. To cut things short: Mr. Bond would never wear something unglamourous like this, not even in prison. *

WORST longevity and sillage you can ever experience... even the £ shop aftershaves last longer than this JAMES BOND 007 which retails for around £46!! what a let down thumbs down hate it wasted my money!!

Complete and utter disappointment. Who do they think they are kidding with this juice? They could've done so much more with this scent. Instead, it smells like a scratch and sniff apple pie mess.
