... that's how Jesus would smell.
Well well, I leave here my first rating for a perfume, since the short time I am registered here and the somewhat longer time I already have ratings-reading on Parfumo
And then directly for such an expensive niche cracker? I'm gonna go get something...
Why this smell?:
I was in the perfume department at Galeria Kaufhof in Cologne, which is quite well equipped to smell a few creeds. As already mentioned in a previous comment a salesman discovered me, who later gave me a cloth on which he sprayed Bond No. 9 Perfum. The same salesman was a metrosexual (or from the other bank?) looking, very stylish, mid-thirty year old ´handsome man´ with whom I could chat happily about my newly discovered passion. He also gave me a cloth sprayed with the perfume Etro Man Rose, the brand of which he represented by the way. So he was neither a seller of Bond No. 9, nor of Galeria Kaufhof. I am happy that he presented this Bond fragrance to me, because apart from the prices, the bottles never really encouraged me to try it out. I sniffed at both cloths several times a day for a few days, I even put them in such a small tupper box where the scent lasted forever. By the way - the creed I mainly wanted to test left me cold, had smelled of Millésime Impérial (also taken home on a cloth) but I don't really understand this scent - I had already read in a review from someone that it smells like celery, for me it smelled like hay. But that's just by the way...
Excited by my friend's comment on Bond No. 9 and Man Rose I let her sniff the towels the following day. She really liked the Man Rose (like me), I have it on my watchlist (Unfortunately - after testing it on my skin - I have the feeling that its durability is not so excellent.). And then Bond No. 9: I could hardly describe the scent to her in advance, I found it ingenious myself and had not yet noticed such a scent. In her dry and fast judging manner (*sniff*, "yes, good", *sniff*, "buff, ne I don't like") came after a few seconds "hmm... Jesus would smell like that".
Days still I smelled at the two cloths, the Etro smell is still halfway affordable, at the same time it was clear for me that I will not buy a Bond No. 9 as a new purchase. No, 350,- Euro in a shop or 280,- Euro online is definitely too much. But hey, there's Ebay. And at some point I actually found the Bond scent in a bidding auction (and not as an immediate purchase as usual), only had to fight with 2 other bidders and was awarded the contract for an 85% full bottle with the lid missing (maybe a tester???) for me inspiring 51,- Euro.
How does it smell?
The fragrance arrived (after some problems with DHL) and I still find it top after some tests. He smells kind of noble. As for smelling or describing scents, I'm not so experienced yet. Yes, it smells a little flowery, slightly sweet, a little artificial and like rose. I don't know what tonka bean smells like. But as already described, he smelled very new to me, hard to describe, you just have to try it out. But I don't smell anything striking, no engine oil, no medical oud, nor anything green-woody or burnt. What definitely doesn't happen with me is a change. Except for the first 3 minutes, the fragrance retains its unique character throughout the wearing period. The classification unisex is already ok, but he already has a slight tendency towards a perfume for women. My girlfriend received a filling in a pocket sprayer from me, which she was very happy about, and already threatened me with the contest: who gets more compliments if we both apply it at the same time? Oh weiha.
Oh well, I've been to New York before, of course placebo plays a role here, but I think the smell smells like New York, too. Not that he would really smell like that there (mainly it smelled like food stalls there), but when I wear him I have to think back to my trip there and that makes me happy.
For what?
When do I wear this sweetheart? Hmm. Definitely at the next wedding and parties. Otherwise it is in my opinion a fragrance for occasions, theatre, musical/concert, other events. For work and casual-daily life he is nothing.
Durability: What I can't confirm, at least until now in the colder days when I tested it, is that it should be super long lasting. 30% perfume waste? Hmm... I don't know. Somehow he just keeps me ok. 3-5 hours, depending on the situation. Close to the skin somewhat longer, but also not bombastic. Really, I'm a little disappointed. Have I perhaps really purchased a tester that has lost durability because it was always stored under heat radiating department store lamps? I don't know... also my better half perceives a full spray on her wrist after 5 hours only removed
Conclusion: I like to smell on the perfume and after the perfume. But not too often. I think you can satirize yourself quickly if you wear it too often in a row. Maybe that happened to the previous owner, as I said, she was missing about 15ml and probably only had the bottle for a few months. So I will not wear it often, but when I do, I will wear it with joy and self-confidence. Am I gonna use up the 80ml sometime? Let's see, but I think Bond No. 9 should also offer smaller quantities. The price is as many have already noted definitely too high. Perhaps Parfumo should also have a price/performance ratio rating, as it would only perform mediocrely, but I think that there is deliberately no such rating. I am happy about this pearl in my collection and can only recommend Bond No.9 Perfume to anyone who would like to know how Jesus would have smelled
