Well, it is what I would call a masculine smell, without a doubt. The notes are apple, cardamom, sandalwood, vetiver, lavender, coumarin, and moss. It starts fresh and it dries down to an oriental, spicy smell that is not overpowering or intoxicating. I would say vetiver is probably a top note but I don't have a way to confirm it right now. If I had to guess I would say you seem like the kind of man who would like it but there's nothing like trying it out first.
Oddly, this actually sounds right up my street! Perhaps I will buy it, but just hide the bottle!
To those that think I'm "ashamed" of being a Bond fan, I assure you I am not. However, when it comes to fragrances, it should be like a beautiful suit or a well-made pair of shoes. Somehow the branding cheapens it, no matter how good it smells. There is a world of difference between saying "my tailor is David MAson at Anthony Sinclair" and saying "my fragrance is the James Bond one."
It's true and I completely understand you in this matter. For example, I own cheap lipsticks however I usually only carry with me and use in public high end brand ones ;)
So if you do buy the fragrance and someone asks you what is it be vague if you feel better that way. Or be honest about it and say you were surprised by how good it is.
I'm always honest. I think that's the best approach. ;-)
I also think so.
@doubleonothing I completely understand why you feel in regards to the 007 fragrance.
I myself am by no means a fragrance connoisseur but I have always been keen on trying Floris no.89 as it is supposedly a Fleming favourite and that seems a little less nerdy than saying you're wearing "James Bond"
So has anyone ever tried Floris? How is it?
I am in Australia though....
>:(
...stupid freakin release the movie a month after everyone else...
:'(
I tried a few weeks ago and never got anything
Ah, not just me then. It's annoying as it would make a good little collectable or at the very least an opportunity to try before you buy so to speak. They are shooting themselves in the foot as I'm not feeling the product as being a worthy purchase if their own website can't intice me to buy because of constant crashes /computer glitches. It devalues the quality of the product.
Thank heavens i'm a Bond fan, and not a Tomb Raider films fan. ;)
It came with a shower gel and deodorant can both marked with the 007 logo only complaint i have is that you are given a code on the box to unlock exclusive features on the website..each time i enter my code it keeps giving me a error.
Is there anybody else having this problem?
Has anyone seen this for sale yet?
On sale today at Kohls department stores across the US. Yes Americans you can smell like James Bond.

Avoid this at all costs. Only Austin Powers would wear this!
Members of the 00 section should refrain.
Stick to wearing your sea island cotton shirts. Driving your Bentleys. Smoking your Moorland specials from your gunmetal cigarette case (lit of course with your oxidised Ronson) whilst checking the time on your Rolex.
Anybody with a 00 prefix found sporting this awful P&G poison will be confined to traffic duty in Essex inpertuity!
Regards,
Bentley.
I don't really need status symbols to feed my ego and should someone ask what fragrance I wear I gladly tell them the James Bond one and we share a laugh.
I rather have that than looking like a snob because everything that's not a high end brand is beneath my dignity.
I can however understand if someone would feel a bit too nerdy when people see the bottle... but well, as I said not that of a problem for me.
M and Tanner have decided that this is such a style gaff, you will be dismissed from the 00 section with immediate effect and will be assigned traffic duty in Harlow, Essex UK (this is part of England were they may appreciate your fragrance).
We are sorry that it has come to this but, all agents were warned that a level of decorum has to be retained amongst all 00s.
By copy of this missive, I would also respectfully remind all remaining in the prestigious 00 section that the only fragrance product to be used on the body is Pinaud Elixer, that prince amongst shampoos. Moneypenny will sniff you all in due course to ensure that this rule is strictly adhered to.
Regards,
Bentley
As M said: "When you can't smell your friends from your enemies, it's time to go." ;-)
Please make sure that you return your PPK to Boothroyd. You won't be needing it were you are going.
If you have any problems in Harlow, just spray them with that P&G stuff. They'll get the message!
Good luck and regards,
Bentley
This has made me smile.
Though you don't make it sound like I should want women from Harlow chasing me...
I think you are in danger of misunderstanding your new assignment.
Although you have been dismissed from the 00 section, you will be working under cover as a traffic officer in Harlow. Your mission will be to infiltrate the CHAV community. This organisation is as dangerous today as SPECTRE was in the old days.
The stated CHAV aim is to undermine British culture by removing any semblance of taste, style or decorum from the fabric of our society.
In the first instance, you should aim to infiltrate their ranks and report back on their plans.
You will recognise members of this illicit organisation by the following characteristics:
1) They all sport false, spray on tans.
2) Typically, they drive Mercedes, Lotus and BMW soft tops in canary yellow or pink.
3) The men mainly have blonde highlighted hair.
4) The women tend to be slightly large, have massive surgically enhanced breasts, have multiple tattoos, are vajjazled and say "'init and like" in most sentences. Our CIA brethren have found similar, mostly in New Jersey, LA & Florida. So, it's spreading and they are international in scope.
5) The men say "**ck" a lot and are sprayed from head to toe with P&G's new poison.
Don't underestimate the importance of this mission. Your job is to prevent the worldwide destruction of good taste and M has selected you specifically for your capacity to fit in seamlessly and infiltrate. The clock is ticking!
Regards,
Bentley
Stay alert in case I need military support!
Sprayed the Bond scent on my wrist and asked all the women at work and at home what they think ?
Overall the women I tested it on said it was a good scent and was not to sweet for a man to use :-bd
You will be seconded with LotusEsprit to infiltrate the CHAVS.
Count Lippe had a small discreet tong mark on his wrist. You will recognise female CHAVS by their body tattoos bearing the names of past lovers (defecto this means their whole bodies are covered). You will fitt in fine with your fragrance.
God help us!
Bentley
