Actually I didn't want to make any blind purchases, because my goal is to have as small a collection as possible with fragrances that I really love instead of buying everything that isn't at 3 on the tree. Which is why my collection is quite small, but also saves money.
But sometimes the bottle is so beautiful that it really attracts you... and this one is almost impossible to test somewhere in person before you buy it, and even online in Europe not often seen. Especially in the 50ml bottle which I prefer for various reasons.
Well, after a few years of ogling and forgetting again I found it in 50ml at an acceptable price, is also the cheapest Bond has in the assortment, at least as far as UVP concerns.

Arrived, I find bottle really super, packing etc beautifully in the Bond style.

Sprayed on... First the pineapple definitely comes through, a little sweet, a little sour (but not unpleasant). But the sweet and fruity pineapple withdraws after a few minutes and what remains I would call cedars, juniper berries, musk and moss. I liked the pineapple so much...
About an hour later I smell again, and lo and behold... The pineapple's back! But a little softer, clean as freshly washed, I think it smells like pouring a lemonade with pineapple over cedar wood. Not bad, light, very well wearable in summer, a bit different than the very woody/needy what I noticed before. It stays that way and becomes softer over time until it disappears.

H+S good, you can get out for a few hours already.

I don't want to say much about the similarity to Aventus, my experience with Aventus after several tests was not very good, I never really noticed pineapples. This is different here, nothing smoky either, definitely more relaxed, but not necessarily juvenile.

So all in all a successful blind purchase. But I wanted to stop...

A scent from Iceland that is supposedly made with glacier water and hung on a piece of volcanic rock. Would say the marketing team did a good job, it made me buy blind. I could not imagine anything bad about the scores, and in my opinion it is generally safer to buy "harmless" scents blind than something extravagant

The bottle is quite nice, I find the volcano piece very appealing, definitely gives me plus points. Apart from that relatively simple and elegant, many manufacturers have come up with that quite well. The sprayer is unfortunately not so bulging, not 100% tight during spraying and gives a bit too much jet, no nice fog.

Now for the real thing: The fragrance.
The notes are very simple and direct, and so is the scent. You get a few citric notes in the opening, the whole very aquatic, with some musk to soothe the whole even more. Refreshing, but also harmless and nothing special, I think you can find a similar scent in some designers or "Cheapies".
The fragrance retreats very quickly and becomes a gentle cloud on the skin (probably the cashmere wood and musk), gentle spices in the background, definitely nothing pungent (are not listed here as notes, I would classify it as pepper/pink pepper). Still fresh and pleasant here. Citrus has already disappeared after felt a few minutes.
Altogether a good refreshment, nice for the summer. In my opinion one for moments where you don't want to show presence with a strong perfume, but rather wear a refreshment for yourself.
The durability and sillage are subterranean, so they are well suited for events where you want to keep a low profile. I don't think you'll get anywhere touched with him, but you won't notice him as positive either.
Positively expressed: Can always be sprayed without hesitation!
