I am really loving this fragrance!! Smells like summer, it’s clean and citrusy. One of my new faves
Bond really doesn’t miss. This scent is so beautiful and unique. It’s spicy but floral and reminds me of fall. I love it and I wish I would’ve tried it sooner.
i get a lot of compliments on it but it doesnt last as long as id like
Love it smells romantic
I have just got this and I'm sold, definitely something going to be the only one in the room wearing this. NY best kept secret...
I love this one. It is similar to Molecule 01 or Juliette has a Gun Not a Perfume but woodier, better longevity. I am so happy with this one, I will probably get a full bottle.
I originally didn't like it at all, but as it developed on my skin I liked it more. Definitely a rich, warm, and spicy fragrance when you can smell it. It's very light and doesn't last the day. I wouldn't buy a bottle of this, but if it was a gift that would be nice.
I absolutely love this fragrance.
I do enjoy the scent but a little too strong for me to use often
Great sent. Truly unisex. A safe blind buy for cooler months.
I really like this fragrance. It feels warm and cozy in a soft way. I can't put my finger on the exact notes that makes sense it so appealing to me, but I do like it.
LOVE - it is a bit strong for me. And though I don't love Ambroxyn, I absolutely adore this fragrance. Aside from Bond's Sandalwood, this might be my favorite from the Bond house.
The house of Bond has a gift .. they have a gift of making you experience New York the way no one has ever before .. This IS definitely a masterpiece, it's a safe blind buy and it's definitely full bottle worthy
A previous reviewer wrote this smelled like a politician. lol. Yes this fragrance does smell nice. It doesn’t last very long even in your clothing. For the price, I need this to last. Try it for yourself though.
The fragrance is woodsy with some resin qualities. It’s a complex version of molecule 01 for me. I like it but like molecule 01 it’s very faint. It just doesn’t last. Or I stop smelling it after 30mins. And I have asked others if they can smell anything and the answer was no. Definitely not worth a full bottle if n my opinion.
Musky and masculine, I used this whole sample really quickly because I liked it a lot.
It was just ok for me. It doesn't last very long.
It’s nice, but for me it’s just ok. I don’t love it, but I don’t dislike it either. My favorite Bond No 9s are still Greenwhich Village and Nomad.
My new favorite. Smells like a politician who has his own island. shaking hands and doing high end business deals by day while demanding and getting crazy sex and female attention by night. Simply amazing.
Perfectly Unisex. Bought it for my husband, but I use it for myself, too. He got mad when he saw me using it, cause he wanted it all for himself. Woods, amber, vanilla, with the slightest aquatic edge. It's a bit heavier than what I like to wear in the summer. I would usually give something without florals a 4/5, but this deserves a 5 even without them.
Smells good, my girlfriend can’t stop smelling me when I wear it. Only downside is I wish it lasted a bit long. You get maybe 4 hours
Wow
The most delicious woody fragrance I’ve ever had the pleasure of smelling. It smells really lovely. I don’t get powdery, just a soft airy woody aroma. It seems very faint and like it doesn’t project a lot, but will randomly fill a space. She’s interesting.
This scent, which I had found online and was highly rated, excited me until I discovered it smelled like my mom's perfume. It doesn’t smell bad at all, but it’s not masculine, nor is it unisex. If you like powdery scents, it’s definitely for you. I ended up giving it to my mom.
Wow, I am so glad I tried this. According to the reviews, I was hoping that it was like Gypsy Water and it certainly is! I have tried more than several other Bond 9s and found them to be really heavy and strong. This is light, airy and soft. It's the sort of fragrance that you can wear every day for any occasion. True to the Gypsy Water notes, it has balsamic, citrus and vanilla notes. Although not listed in the ingredients I would guess that it also has ISO Super E because it is very reminiscent of the Molecule 01 scent. It has a wonderful trick of being there and not there at times. To my nose, ISO Super e in this type of formulation has a fresh woody character that smells like sandalwood. Also, a nice bonus is that Governor's Island has better performance and longevity that GW!
Not for me. Too powdery and matronly.
I like it. Not my favorite Bond No. 9, but it's not bad to have as a backup.
Love it. Smooth and is perfect
Definitely my favorite thus far and will be in rotation until fall
Gorgeous, addictive, sensual, best Bond no.9 I've tried so far.
The Fragrance was great but it was leaking
Love.. soft non offensive gender neural scent. Sits close to skin though long lasting I smelled it on me the next morning
I like the fragrance but it’s not strong enough. Might by an oil impression of the fragrance and spray over it.
Wayyy too feminine. Definitely regret it.
Great scent - soft. Wish it stood out more
Woody amber scent. Definitely unisex. This is a go to for me but better for fall and winter. I wish it had more longevity.
Not for me but others really enjoy the scent
This is more like a 3.5 for me. I wanted to give it 4 stars, but it fades rapidly. I have to sniff my arm to smell it. But I do love this. It smells as if a man was holding a baby, and then gave the baby to you. Like powder mixed with musk. I don’t like powdery perfumes. But Im diggin this hard! If it projected more Id give it s full 4 stars. But Id let my husband buy this for me. lol
Smells extreamly good. Love it, only meritocracy for me is it isn't as strong and does stick around long for me.
Smell great and last all day. Looking forward to try all the bond no. 9 scents. This is a very clean and gentlemen smell.
My absolute favorite so far! Not sure how long it lasts but it smells GREAT!
I really do love this smell. It’s a has a smell that can be unisex. You can smell it but the smell is not overwhelming. It’s fresh and got a unique smell when dries. I wore this like every day
I don't much care for this Scent. it's woody and Resinous and a bit musky it smells pretty Natural and it performs decently. it's a little light for my tastes but it smells pretty Unique so if that's what you're looking for it might be something you'll like. it's not something Id wear often though.
One of my favorites.
Amazing unisex scent! Much better than the Tom Ford that I had. There's no heavy woodsy scent like I've found in some unisex scents. I absolutely love this one and am thinking of actually buying. It wears all day! Highly recommended!
Masculine smell
Warm amber and wood. Very fall. Not a huge projector. This one is intimate. This is to be discovered, not announced. Thr woods lean more masculine but it is a unisex scent.
I'm not sure if my bottle was tampered with but I could not smell anything when sprayed
Very strong, more masculine.
I absolutely love this fragrance and it lasts most of the day!
This smells so amazing! It’s my new go to! You can actually smell it on you not just when you are being hugged. It smells like a more sophisticated version of light blue by D&G.
Very sweet and musky. For me it has a very nostalgic type of scent, it's light but definitely noticeable. I can see myself wearing this on occasion but not everyday, since it's not really my style.
Not for me. Smells like the woods for sure.
I Love Bond No 9 fragrances! Always fresh and light! This is no exception! Another good one! I love to layer them!
I love how sophisticated this smells. More of a fall or winter scent for me but definitely one of my all time favorites.
I have ordered 5 different scents so far and I think this one is my favorite. It smells amazing and I got complemented on it a lot.
Just what I like. A fragrance that stands out and on it's own! No other fragrance that I've tried has it's own character and smells so unique. It's subtle and goes well with my pheromones. Especially when my day gets hectic, it really kicks in and boy, do I get the compliments!
Nope not my cup of tea!
Very strong but I love it
I love it!
I normally love Amber, so I was excited to try this. Unfortunately I do not like this at ALL. Smells terrible.
Smells like old lady smell
Not sure how to put it besides i was amazed at the smell on this cologne. Amazing for a male that has a fresh not musky taste.
I absolutely love this scent. It's light but warm and the scent lasts.
I really enjoy this scent so much that even my husband use it with me.. He is familiar with Bond #9 fragrance its my first time and it didn't disappoint. Well be purchasing the full bottle very soon.
This scent is very different and not for the faint of heart. It reminds my of Chocolate Greedy with incense added. It's very deep, dark, and sexy. This would be a great winter fragrance.
Very strong when you put it on, but not for me.
Great ... I love it
LOVE IT. will definitely be buying it.
Love this scent, will definitely be purchasing the larger sized one.
Not what I remember. I feel like it's what my great gmas 80yr old fur coat smells like after fermenting in dry cleaners plastic for 5+ years. Not terrible but def not sexy, or exciting. More like bland balsam and cedar.
Very nice smell
I do not understand the reviews for this. I love sexy heavier scents and this is not it. It smells very similar to Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue which I can't stand it. Used to wear it in high school and now it just smells like cheap bad memories.
Love the smell, long lasting
Very sexy. I like this very much and would consider buying the bottle.
Smells amazing, love it definitely purchasing fun bottle. 4 stars bc of sillage. If I smell good I want everyone to know.
Smells like woody incense. I love it!
This is a nice fragrance with the notes that you find in nature. I like the woodsy fragrance but it is a bit too strong on the grassy note. It comes across pretty strong at the onset but it does calm down a little revealing other woodsy notes. This is a warm fragrance and if you like hints of incense and enjoy that soothing scent of the outdoors, you would definitely enjoy this.
Love it! Definitely unisex.
Loved it. Smells good on.
This scent is very sexy. I just wish it projected and lasted a little longer. As soon as I smelled it I knew it would be amazing on my husband. Very soft but yet alluring and intoxicating!
Woodsy but lite. I like it.
Very woody fresh fragrance with very decent longevity and mild projection. Would absolutely recommend for someone who doesn’t like overbearing scents. Now I don’t think I could recommend buying the bottle since the price tag is absurd. But due to its one of a kind scent profile it’s something that is quite nice to have in a decant if you want to smell different than everyone else.
Initially the smell of alcohol is the first one I recognize but the smell that settles is quite nice although it is a very quiet scent which kind of adds to the allure of it but at the same time kind of wish it was a little more noticeable
This is an absolute chefs kiss perfume! Alluring without being loud or overpowering, a perfect balance of masculine and feminine. This will be a full-bottle purchase I will happily wear forever!
Very good, classy
Smells so good and gets compliments. What more can you ask for. :)
Lord... It smells soo good... Like a sexy man meets a classy woman
It's not a bad fragrance, but I wish it radiated further than it does.
Love this scent, I could smell it all day long!
I thought it smelled really good very fresh and it lasts a long time
Amazing!
I love this fragrance! It smell so clean and strong!
Very nice
I Love it!!!!!
Smells good!
Not a big fan smells like baby powder..
I absolutely loved this scent ! It lasted a long time and smelled wonderful ! Not too strong but it lasted forever
My wife loved the smell.She automatically started looking at me like a pork-chop.
Bond No 9, at least to me, is generally wildly overrated. They're out of touch with the average buyer and their prices are unreasonable. Just like Jeremy's Fragrance One. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would disagree. That's their right. This particular scent is weak to the point of being a skin scent immediately upon application. What little scent I'm actually able to discern is pleasant enough, but certainly not unique. And certainly not worth the cost. At least to me. I don't have unlimited funds and have to choose my fragrance on other factors besides hype.
Smells very good but I thought it was more for a man
Great fragrance women love it
Long lasting manly smell
Gf loves it
Very weak, leaning more towards masculine scent.
Best I've ever had the grace to put on my body honestly.
Has to be my new favorite. Purchasing a bottle. It's an all around fantastic everyday scent, no matter the time of day. Try this out if you haven't!
OBSESSED! At first I wasn’t too sure but boy how it changes! Everyone asks what I’m wearing and where to buy it. It starts out as sweeter, then transitions to woodsy and maybe a bright citrus then settles for a nice rich smell. Highly recommend!
Smells really good not too strong
I was curious about this scent because I love incence so I wanted to try it. I was a bit worried of it smelling too manly as it is unisex. However, I was very happy upon receiving it. I feel it smells more feminine. I really like it and can smell the incense scent. I do wish it were a bit stronger and lasted a bit longer. Regardless I do really like this scent and I am glad to have chosen it.
???????? This is the 1 last the entire day. Price is crazy $350 but definitely worth it. I highly recommend!
A manly musky scent.
Great scent!
Not my scent but that doesn’t mean it not for others
Amazing
This is not for me. Feels like something my grandma would wear.
Smells amazing. Reminds me of Dolce and Gabbana for women.
So far my absolute favorite! Unfortunately, at the time of writing this, it is no longer available here @ Scentbox, but I hope it returns for myself and others to enjoy!
Nice and long-lasting.
Absolutely wonderful. Will get a full bottle
Love it! Definitely purchasing a full bottle!
Not my favorite Bond scent but it’s up there great scent
Love it ??
I took a gamble, and selected this one for my husband, and it did not disappoint. It packs some punch in a good way! While this scent is unisex, I would say that it really depends on the person.
I looooooove this scent. It's a warm vanilla/tobacco like scent imo. Definitely getting a full bottle of this.
I like it on my bf so much.
This is a deep incense/ woodsy smell but it is beautiful! I've had so many compliments on this today alone. Pricey for full size but I've found i like a lot of Bond No 9 scents and they'reworth it. It is unique as is normal for them. More feminine than masculine but the right man could pull it off. Definitely more of a cold weather perfume!
I love it
The other reviews don't properly describe it to me. It's musky but floral, and very yummy. Probably more of a fall / winter scent to keep you feeling warm. It's definitely a bit more feminine than masculine, though, which I typically sway masculine. All of my girlfriends were obsessed with it when I had it on, asked what I was wearing.
Oh my goodness...this is one of those fragrances that aren't powdery, musky or floral. If you know what true incense smells like, THIS is that scent. This is not for the run of the mill chick. I sprayed it on right after receiving it... it is simply divine. This is the scent I imagine gypsy's of old wore to entice people into their camps.
Did not like the smell of this on my skin. I would rather go with Escentric Molecules 01. It’s cheaper and smells better.
Fresh
It’s not a horrible smell but it’s definitely far from amazing. It’s decent to wear to work. However I wouldn’t purchase a full bottle
Loved this perfume. It’s a young, fresh scent !
This is definitely a fragrance that you want someone to smell, up close! I love it! The longevity, sillage, everything about it!
I had 1 million lucky at the top of my list so far but this fragrance just took the #1 spot for me. Definitely gonna buy a bottle of this
If I could gave it no stars I would.
Of all the fragrances I’ve got this year this one is my least favorite. Doesn’t smell bad but it’s not the best
Love the smell!
Great bond 9 fragrance. It is Woody yet clean. This is one of those multi season fragrances. I think it becomes a skin scent fairly fast. Good for casual evening wear.
Excellent scent! Clean, light, unique yet bold scent. Definitely can tell this is not a cheap perfume. Compliments my pharomones very nicely.
My girlfriend couldn't stop snuggling up in my neck and chest with this on. She must have said like 6 times how sexy it smells. And then as she was falling asleep on my chest said it's by far her favorite. I'd said it smells pretty darn good lol.
Just received this a few hours ago, and cannot stop sniffing this one. I liked it in the bottle, but adore it on me! Spicy, warm, perfect going into the fall/winter season. I can't wait to smell this on my partner - I am sure it will smell amazing, yet different on him!
The sort of "peppery" note really stands out on this one for me. It made me sneeze quite a bit when I first tested it, but otherwise it's a nice scent
Feel like my mom needs this.
This one was a blind purchase for me. When I first received it I hated it and was really disappointed - it felt really heavy, and reminded me of those incense shops in the malls during the 90s. Then I found out I couldn't return it (they don't allow returns for single atomizer purchases), and I decided to wear it a couple days, since I had invested in it. Well I don't know what changed, but I found myself inhaling the scent deeply more and more. It's warm, spicy, rich, woody, peppery. I can honestly say it's become my current favorite. It was so different from what I expected, and maybe that's why my first impression was so poor, but it's definitely won me over.
I cant understand people saying this is "too masculine" or "spicy" but of course, thats just me and I normally favor unisex scents. I cannot see my masculine boyfriend wearing this since to me it does come off as very feminine but its always different with each wearer. This is my favorite scent at the moment, its soft and I get the incense notes in it - for sure going to be investing in a larger bottle of this fragrance.
Love this. Sophisticated but not heavy. Classy scent perfect for sweater and boots weather.
I’m a fan of most of the Bonds and this one I love as well. It’s a warm spicy scent so I would recommend for the fall/winter but did receive some complements on it. I enjoyed the scent and it last a while. I personally think I spray myself too much because the .27oz last only 2 weeks with me!
Very strong and last a long time... I took a shower and still smelled like the colonge and I didn't use much
A very masculine scent that doesn't seem to soften in any way.
This scent was very masculine in my opinion. It was my first time trying a unisex scent and I think it will be my last. Gave it to a male coworker and he enjoyed it but I just wasn’t for me.
Love it!!!!!!!!!
In my opinion, this fragrance would be better geared towards men. It reminds me of the smell of my pediatrician when I was young. He was a very nice man lol
This is a very beautiful unisex scent.
I absolutely love this sent. It’s nice and inviting. It puts me in the mind frame of Juliette has a Gun (Not a Perfume). I’ve received several compliments on it and it wears well throughout the day. The 1st hour seems a little strong on first wear, but it mellows down and becomes warm and musky. I couldn’t stop smelling my wrist. I will be purchasing the big bottle!!! This is a signature scent!!!!
Not my favorite scent !
LOVE IT !!! My new Friend fragrance
No where near the scent of peace
Love the scent!!!
Smells clean! Definitely radiates.
Was way more manly then expected which ous the only reason i gave 3 stars. Other wise it would be a high Star if claimed for male only.
Definitely a feminine scent even though it is considered unisex. If I was rating on a female perspective definitely a 4 or 5 star.
AMAZING
Fucking Awesome
Iv never had so many compliments on a perfume in my life! Will def buy the full bottle. Its a light sweet smell.
Soft not overwhelming but definitely leaves a lasting impression. Great fragrance for any arsenal.
Smells like nothing very light scent
I’m obsessed
This scent smells horrific
Not sure about this one yet. It’s a very unique scent. Definitely something I’d wear for certain occasions as opposed to everyday.
Love it
This is an excellent fragrance. Clean, fresh, but still sexy. I love it. Try it. You won't be disappointed.
Very Nice
First time ever trying a Bond No.9 fragrance and Governor’s Island is absolutely captivating. I’m late on niche fragrances but I’m glad I found them. This is a start to adding to my collection!
The absolute best I've had in a while I love it and get a lot of compliments. For it.
I liked Governer’s Island at first. Unfortunately about an hour after i put it on lightly to my wristt it shifted completely into a very potent black pepper scent. I do give it great props for its stying power though. I just wish I liked it more persnally.
It smells like a freshly powered baby butt
Awesome
I like it . It's def unisex but the girls do like this one. It's really for special occasions personlly
Looooove this one!
I freakin love this scent. It smells so good. I think it’s more for men but I love it so much I got it for myself. It lasts forever. It’s definitely a fancy night out- notice me scent. It’s loud but it’s fabulous. You need confidence with this scent.
Definitely for a business woman Love the smell Definitely unisex Its something I would wear on a dinner date But perfect for a business meeting or dinner This scent is for a boss lady for sure Only sprayed it once and fell in love just got it today.
Winning... Wooooo... Yes! From the moment I sprayed, I could not stop smelling my wrist. It's a wonderful, clean, fresh scent.. definitely adding to my faves
Very nice summer-y fragrance. The longevity isn’t great, but that’s true for most citrus-y fragrances.
I can't quite describe the scent, but it is subtle, pleasant and long lasting. My kids told me I smelled different, and couldn't stop smelling me. My husband, well...he liked it a lot.
I could not smell anything but sweet vanilla-sh note that lasted all day long. I was hoping for much more than that.
Beautiful smell and very long lasting. Its soft and bold at the same time. I love it. My new favorite to be added to my collection
Great long lasting smell.
One of my new favorites. Looking forward to wearing it on a date.
So fresh and sweet! Its amazing. Long-lasting, even through smoke I hate to say. It lasted days and through a wash, the first day I got it and tested it. Amazing!
This is a subtly unique fragrance. Highly recommended, yet I'd like to keep it as my own little secret.
Very subtle... not very commanding but still has a good scent.... deff one to Wear to bed when you have your partner close to you.
It was too feminine for my taste. Reminded me of a grandma Scent. The product might be great for others but in my personal opinion I would never own it
Love it! I get SO many compliments when wearing this!
Love it!
Love it!
I love it
This stuff smells absolutely one hundred percent of amazing! The smell of it once I smelled it everybody loved it and I think that this is the greatest smelling cologne I've ever tried to be honest. I definitely wholeheartedly had to say anybody who wants to try it don't be scared get it because you will not you disappointed ever...
Love it . You won't be disappointed. Kinda lite but smells good.
Amazing
This product is true to the description. The scent is warm and comforting with subtle hints of vanilla that are far from cloying. Really beautiful and subtle.
Amazing smell. got many compliments
I really like this scent. It’s strong enough for a man, but also soft enough for a women!!!
Beautiful scent. Just a bit to light for my taste. Not offensive AT ALL. Its just not for me.
My favorite hands down
I love this scent. It is a very refined fragrance but light and subtle. It will definitely be in my line up.
Honestly, I just didn't feel like there was much special about this one. It lasts a while, but on my skin and to my nose it just smells... generic. My girlfriend did not like it at all, who said that it smelled like I was going through my grandfather's dusty old cologne shelf. I just feel like, especially for the price, there are a lot more interesting and attractive avenues.
Best cologne I’ve gotten from this website.. my new all time favorite cologne.. I’ll be dropping 350 on a bottle of this. Best smelling cologne ever
I love the house of Bond line. Governor's is a lovely light scent that gets me a lot of compliments. I'm very happy with this selection, but the scent doesn't last as long as I would like.
It's dope! Women really it! Or They love me with it on.
My favorite so far!
I love this scent. It's very soft and sensual. It's very suttle but just right. It last about 3-6 hours on skin but all day on clothing.
Simplistic but well done. Not a sillage monster but projects enough for my tastes. I am excited to wear this late Winter into Spring. Excellent night time frag as well!
It's smells wonderful. The ladies love it.
Smells close to PDM Herod
I love this scent! It's different, pleasant,soft, and for me, a little hypnotic. It evokes a feeling from a subconscious memory that I can't put my finger on. I would really like to try some of the other scents from Bond!
I really love the smell
All the Bonds are different but Unique.. you dont get these kind of scents everyday. I liked Governors Island but I wouldnt consider it great.. Brooklyn, Hamptons and Manhatten puts this one to shame. If Scentbox cant get the other Bonds back.. I might be done trying Scentbox out.
great fresh sent
