I purchased this perfume solely based on the reviews. It has a sweet fruity smell bordering on a room freshner type smell. I couldnt identify the woody musky smell. Others have liked this one, may be this is not for me.

It’s supposed to be a unisex fragrance… more masculine for my taste… but i can layer it with something softer.

Not really for me unfortunately

Masculine

I loved this perfume! It is a nice fruity chypre. I really get a nice vetiver and Oakmoss base with some really nice blueberries (and maybe blackberries) at the top with a bit of violet leaf. Really very elegant, fresh, fruity daytime scent.

Masculine scent initially, but dries down feminine. I’m not sure how to describe this scent as it seems to smell differently each time I wear it. Overall enjoyable scent.

I liked it, but it has a rather masculine scent, so I didn't use it. I'll give it to my son.

Did not like at all.

Smells very natural and earthy.

This fragrance doesn’t smell at all like what I was expecting. It’s crazy to me that this fragrance is listed as a gourmand! To me it’s all men’s cologne. The opening smells citrusy, herbal and vaguely aquatic. I can smell a touch of sweetness if I really sniff for it, but I don’t find it noticeably sweet. It doesn’t last on me either. After an hour or so it either faded away or I go nose blind to it. It’s not a bad fragrance but it’s definitely not my style.

Starts out a powerhouse of refined beauty. Dries down to a nice masculine clean woody scent. Then way too soon it’s gone. If this had more longevity it could be my go to, but alas, I don’t want to carry a bottle around to reapply throughout the day. Definitely perfect for a time you want to go off like a flash then go incognito in a few hours.

Very clean masculine leaning unisex fragrance

Very Strong Masculine and Feminine Fragrance! Love the scent!

A clean, very citrus forward scent. I think it wears better than it smells at first, but overall very nice.

I've been on a hunt for awhile and this being the 40th in my collection now this is the scent I've been looking for. I've been searching for a new scent ever since Creed got popular and was all the rage in the Financial District. One Million Elixir was great, but this cologne is on another level! I'm definitely buying a bottle—it's that good. It's clean, fresh, unique, long-lasting, and not overpowering.

Not my favorite. Very similar to Purple Label which I own already, so it’s redundant for me. Quality is good though.

The fragrance wasn't flattering for me.

Very nice sent.

4.5/5 Great fragrance, but too masculine for me. My daughter loves it but, that is because she loves unisex scents.

It's a great fresh fruity fragrance I'd like it to project a little more and last longer. It may have needed time to macerate. I notice my Bond scents perform best after sitting a while.

Not horrible, but smells much more masculine to me. Tried to give it to my husband but he said too feminine and didn’t like smell. So definitely an in between fragrance! Also very strong at first and then dies down quickly.

If you're looking for a killer freshie that lasts.. this is it. Very unique for this genre.. Blueberries, lime, effervescent and slightly sweet. Banger!

Smells fresh! Love the fragrance definitely recommend it

Started off pretty sharp, more feminine (I personally didn't like the top notes), then it took a turn for more masculine on me. My boyfriend says I smell like hotel soap, so not sure if that's a good or bad thing. After an hour the smell has faded down so I can only smell it on me. I'm going to wear it a few more days and see if it grows on me, but not a fave right now.

Smells absolutely beautiful. But but does dissappear fast, great date night purse fragrance

Smells great, but terrible longevity. No one will smell this on you after 1 hour. It disappears that fast.

If youthful exuberance was a scent it would be bleecker street by bond no 9. I personally feel this is a warmer weather scent maybe an outdoor wedding type scent.

I am not sure exactly how I feel about the scent it’s not bad but it’s not good!

It is not horrible but is not very special either. It leans masculine for me and seems like it would be a nice scent to layer with something a little too light to give it a heavier, headier scent. It seems to be a more of a personal scent without an insane scent spread which is my preference as I like for only people who are close to me to be able to smell my scent. Overall it is just okay and I wouldn't wear it alone.

Very strong scent that isn't very appealing to me.

Smells like a nice clothing outlet.

I was not fond of this scent. It was too "sharp" smelling for me. However, it would be great for people who enjoy that type of scent. The way it is described on the details is fitting. This was the first sample I actually sent back for a replacement.

Love this brand. Nice unisex summer fragrance

It smells good but doesn’t last long

Very weak. Takes loss of sprays and doesn’t last.

Love this sexy, long lasting fragrance!

Lots of compliments. Wears longer than most of the other Bond no 9... I was worried it might me more masculine; however, for my nose - it's the complete opposite. Very pretty.

Great fragrance!

Definitely last long. The smell was okay not that great. Which is the reason I wont purchase the big bottle. It does give off a clean fresh smell though with like an under tone of lime. Maybe it was just me but again was NOT a horrible smell. Just not for me.

Yuk this smells awful

It is a refreshing smell

Love the smell. Just wish it lasted longer! Will definitely add to my collection though!

Wow. This one is my favorite so far of all the testing. I promised my self to try a few out before I buy. This is on my Christmas list!

Love the sent

Love!!!!

Smell is good. Just didn’t think there was any longevity to the scent. Overall it’s good

very good

This one really surprised me! I truly loved it, very warm but sweet fragrance! Just wish the scent lasted longer!

I’m obsessed with it thanks it smells amazing

This smells terrible on me. It has a very distinct dry down that smells like hospital.

Smells great

This is a very good unisex scent but its not for me. My sister said that it reminds her of old spice deoderant. I will say it does smell powdery and citrusy with crisp green notes.

Smells like an old barbershop

The scent is on point, it gets heads turning and it smells great. Just needs to last a little longer and it would be a perfect all occasions scent to wear. All in all "Bond #9 surprised me with how really good their scents are indeed!

I'm giving this four stars because it's blended well, but taking off a star because this is not a unisex fragrance. I can pull off a lot of unisex scents that most women would consider too manly, but this one was too manly for even me. I see in the comments some women do wear it, so maybe it's just my body chemistry that gave that effect. This is going to sound silly, but the overall effect on my nose is like a very high-end, luxurious version of the Irish Spring soap scent. I didn't order this intentionally, life got busy and so I got the default scent.

Great for any occasion.

This one is not for me. It has a rather strong, citrus smell when first sprayed, which reminds me of a cleaning product. It's better when it dries down, but I prefer softer, warmer scents. The longevity is good.

I love this scent!!!!

Not my kind of scent - too masculine

Great fragrance absolutely love it

Smells good and the smell lingers close to your body

This was a pleasant surprise, Smells great and good longevity. Turning into my go to fragrance.

I'm on the fence with this one. At first I immediately got lemon pledge and didn't like it. But as it dried down that faded and became more fresh and clean. The opening I was put off by but I got several compliments on this after that. Perhaps it'll grow on me as I continue using the sample.

At first I thought it was a little masculine, It's definitely unisex. But as it set, it sweetened up. It's a great daytime fresh scent. I wanted to put it on everywhere I went.

Very masculine. Doesn't smell bad, but it is not unique.

This smells wonderful on me and lasts till the next day. It's more masculine, but I've always lived mens fragrances. I will definitely be purchasing a full bottle. I am going to save this for cooler weather...it's more like it's a fall/winter scent

Smells really good

Love this, great fresh summer scent with good depth on the dry down.

Light scent for a nice summer day. Fresh and clean smell.

I like it a lot, It's a very light & fresh smelling fragrance for me, you will want to spray before you get to where ya going.

Very average men’s cologne smell. Not offensive but not great either.

It's okay. Smells a bit like cleaning solution at first but mellows out thru the day.

All bond 5 are awesome

Great scent ??

A date night cologne.

It's powerful but subtle at the same time. Great fragrance

Smells like lemon pledge

Great scent. Just bought a full bottle because of how much I liked it.

Simply amazing, soft but powerful. A must try

I haven’t given it a real go yet but from what I gather, it’s pleasant.

Very nice! Smells very good!

I really like this one and it seems to have long legs it last all day very happy my wife luvs it too

I really don’t appreciate the sweet aspect of this scent. It comes across my nose as more of cool cologne smell, though you do get some warmth from the sandalwood and amber. It has decent staying power, and the scent isn't bad, but it doesn’t smell how I was expecting it to based off the description. It pulls more masculine to me/on my skin, and while not unpleasant, not something I would purchase again.

Not bad, but not good enough for to buy a full size bottle

Fresh smell but does not last long at all

Beautiful smell, it's like it walks after you, and you can smell yourself around, has a mystic story in it. I love it, my husband loved it on me.

One of the most fresh fragrances I've put my nose on. It puts me in a light mood. Leans more masculine to me, but who cares. I would love to rock this during spring and summer.

This was a really good purchase. This smells amazing and I get compliments all the time whenever I wear this.

Nice fresh smell

My favorite so far good addictive scent can wear every day

Enticing smell that catches the senses of curiosity.

The smell was a five star for me but it didn’t seem to last long at all. A big fan still. Can’t wait to try more of their scents.

I didn't expect to love this as much as I do! It is a sexy gourmand, not childish and cotton/candy which I appreciate

Very nice and lasts long
