SweetWhat does Bond No. 9's Island smell like?
Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not firm. It reads equally well on men and women, and its fresh character keeps it close to easy everyday wear.
The top notes of ginger, basil and mint give a cool, green start. In the heart, green leaves, champaca and red kelp bring out the aquatic side. The base of ambergris, tree moss and sandalwood softens it and dries down on a lightly sweet, woody footing.
