CreamyWhat does Bond Number One smell like?
It opens with ylang-ylang and Italian bergamot. The heart builds a floral base from Bulgarian rose, jasmine, white musk and Brazilian tonka bean. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, Indonesian patchouli and cashmere wood sweeten and soften the whole.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings rest on a limited sample. Its powdery, creamy character suggests an easy fit for cooler weather, but there is no season data to confirm it. Mancera Black Vanilla and Mancera Choco Violette have a close profile.
