Quantum James Bond 007 2013 Eau de Toilette
3
007 on a Secret Mission
I love the James Bond films, and for me, every movie, every actor, and every story has its justification.
Nevertheless, I couldn't imagine any of the actors with this perfume. The rather inconspicuous mainstream fragrance doesn't fit the character of a James Bond, a sometimes ruthless guy with edges and corners. A type who doesn't care much for conventions and has his special preferences... just think of vodka martini shaken, not stirred. A James Bond should smell intense, elegant, and charismatic to me. So that he is immediately noticed when he enters the room.
I already knew that a drugstore scent would hardly meet these expectations. That's why I was more than skeptical about this line. Then I was looking for a Christmas gift for my father. He loves the 007 films just as much as I do. And celebrity fragrances don't scare him off.
My nose said: fresh, subtly spicy, and with a slight leather note... Better than expected. Not a scent for a grand entrance, but wearable as an everyday fragrance. Somehow 007 on a secret mission when he doesn't want to stand out. More Timothy Dalton than Sean Connery. Whatever. Bought.
I'm curious about my father's reaction. But the scent is so pleasing that I'm sure: it won't gather dust with him.

I can't really judge the longevity yet. We'll see how it goes. That's why the 80% might still be a bit shaky.

Yes, he suits Pierce Brosnan :-)) Although, I actually thought he was pretty good, he just had bad luck with his films.

If the longevity and projection are really as rated, it can't possibly collect dust. The bottle will be empty in 2 weeks :-))
