Here’s what you get: juniper berries, lots of wood, a dash of cognac, and spices on overdrive; everything else fades because these three notes dominate. It smells rich, like a barbershop scent but lighter. It reminds me of a perfume my dad used in the 2000s, though I don’t know which one it was. Yes, it has that slightly metallic smell that older men (50+) tend to have, so it’s not exactly youthful. Lasts about 8 hours: projects strongly for the first three, then settles into a more personal sillage.

My first Bond No. 9 fragrance, and I agree with the previous reviewer about the metallic tone; it smells very masculine, clean yet dense, with incredible longevity and projection. Highly recommended, just be aware it’s not easy to wear and few people use it, but you’ll definitely make a statement with a classic touch.

Thanks to Shiseido, I was able to smell this. Many thanks! Juniper berries, lavender, and frankincense stand out; there’s also a cognac or liquor note. The drydown feels a bit ‘smoky’ to me, with labdanum and cashmere wood providing a pleasant depth in the trail, alongside that ‘light sweetness’ Shiseido mentions. It’s delicate and elegant, though it doesn’t stand out for its originality or ability to surprise like other Bond No. 9 creations. Imagine a typical juniper, lavender, and ‘something else’ fragrance, but refined and improved nine times over. With my eyes closed, I picture a spacious room with wooden furniture, some art objects, books, and a fireplace for cozy conversation. Cary Grant and Gregory Peck also come to mind… could it be that they smelled like Cooper Square? I’m left with the feeling that it’s better suited for sharing at close range rather than projecting a significant trail.
ShiseidoTactics
In the English reviews, almost everyone says they don’t detect the cognac. From my distance, I think the American public isn’t very used to the scent of real cognac (which is expensive and not popular); maybe they’re more accustomed to bourbon, whiskey, vodka, wine, beer, tequila, or rum. In my family, I had an uncle who imported a box of Napoleon cognac from France every year, and that scent is etched in my memory; in fact, during a night out with friends, one of them identified the cognac note, which surprised me.
