What does Bond Street (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with tea, ivy and bergamot, which keep it fresh and citrusy. In the heart, jasmine sambac and magnolia add a soft floral note, while white amber, cedarwood, musk and ambrette seed settle it onto a woody, powdery, creamy base. Sweet and spicy touches sit in the accords, but the fresh floral side leads.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is classed as a men's fragrance and has a light character that suits everyday wear. Aristocrazy Brave and Etro White Magnolia have a close profile.
