James Bond 007 for Women by Eon Productions is a Amber Floral fragrance for women. James Bond 007 for Women was launched in 2015. Top notes are Black Pepper, Rose and Bergamot; middle notes are Blackberry, Gardenia and Jasmine; base notes are Black Vanilla Husk, Cedar and White Musk.

After several editions dedicated to men Eon Productions presents a fragrance for women, James Bond 007 for Women Eau de Parfum which reveals the "dangerously seductive nature of Bond women." The composition of the fragrance is inspired by the mysterious, oriental scents that women wore in the previous century. Their composition is based on a blend of flowers and spices, warmed with a warm, oriental embrace.

Top notes of 007 FOR WOMEN incorporate bergamot, combined with black pepper and rose milk. The heart introduces floral flavors of gardenia and jasmine blended with blackberry zest, warmed with a warm and sensual trail of white musk, black vanilla and woody accords of cedar. The face of the advertising campaign is Caterina Murino who starred as Solange in 2006 movie Casino Royale.

The flacon of the new fragrance JAMES BOND 007 FOR WOMEN EAU DE PARFUM was created with numerous facets providing a kaleidoscope effect to accentuate the numerous faces of a woman. The idea of the design was developed from the initial structure of the flacon for men, with a characteristic "diamond cut" covering the oval flacon for women. The glass of the flacon is dark and opaque, leaving the impression of strength and mystery.

Fragrance 007 for Women is available as 30, 50, 75 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum accompanied with body care products. The accompanying perfumed assortment 007 for Women collection includes 75 and 15 0ml deodorant, 150 ml shower gel and 150 ml body lotion. The collection is already available on the official website of the brand 007fragrances.com, and it arrives in perfumeries in March 2015.

As a person who Givenchy Hot Couture EDT is their signature: it has been.... REFORFULATED. Also known as: Sudden Death. That was my sign to mourn its loss and move on, to find another to obsess over. Truly, I should have known better that to ask for recommendations, because this 007 was one of the suggestions to replace it.
It is a hardy resounding, echoing NO. Absolutely NOPE.

The bottle is somewhat stylish, frankly it has more personality than the Givenchy bottles. That's where the positivity stops. James Bond 007 for Women is repackaged Brittany Spears Midnight Fantasy celebrity perfume. It is obnoxious, synthetic and the epitome of cheap. Fake candy mixed with generic shampoo. Cheap unlit grape or blueberry flavored cigars with wet pencil shavings on top of a Poptart. That and drugstore coconut sunscreen. Maybe faux tan scent also. Slightly salty. Gross. Jersey Shore Chic.

I'm a tad bit sad that anyone would recommend this as a sub for Hot couture, as they who do, have never experienced its euphoric unique splendor. Stay away from this 007. FAR AWAY. It is hard to wash off, stays stuck for days and lasts in the bottle forever. But, if you want to smell like the loosest lush in the sorority house on a Pell grant: stock up. It is only $17.99 per bottle!

vtothek

Even though I get the dreaded “pencil shavings” note that other reviewers have mentioned I still like it anyway.

I saw this on deep discount, and actually being active in the James Bond fandom I felt like I had to own this just because. It smells like spicy berries on top of a warm vanilla base, with those odd woody notes in there somewhere. I don’t get any florals at all from it really. It’s simple and nice, like something you would get at B&BW. For the price it’s a great deal. This is definitely not unique though, but I can see most people enjoying it well enough.

Skinscents4Fusspots

This doesn’t list patchouli but it absolutely smells like a dark fruitchouli, so if (like me!) you don’t like patchouli then maybe don’t let the notes fool you into blind buying this one! I also get the pencil shaving style wood which is another thing I don’t like, but I can recognise that the vanilla-sweetened blackberry is very pretty.

DariaDark

I got this one as a gift and my initial reaction was 'Ew. No. NOT my style at all, wouldn't touch it with a stick!'. Well, guess what. Over past years, this became one of my most favourite cool weather fragrances of all time!

The vanilla in cold weather sits very gently behind the peppery fruity cloud and the dry down I get even the next day is to die for! Needless to say, this longevity is one of the best I have in my collection. Sillage is also very good.

Just to explain a bit, I HATE vanilla, in most of its forms and variations. The peppery blackberry is beautiful but overall impression was sweet, fruity vanilla with something on the background that had the same character as patchouli... If this wasn't a gift from my boyfriend, I would give it away immediately. However, BECAUSE it was a gift from him, I wanted to wear it at least now and then, to show appreciation (I don't think he smelled this before buying, he's the type to go with an advice from friends blindly). I think it started with the weekend I got this: rainy and grey, moody; we were on a romantic getaway but none of our plans really went well... Muddy from the bottom to the top, with our feet wet and cold, the food was just something last minute obtained from a small supermarket... But we were so in love we didn't care.

And that's what stuck with me, with this scent. I found myself going back to that out of nostalgia and in the end, I found a place in my heart for it even regardless the memories.
I have a spare bottle and I only got them for three or four fragrances. So, strong hate to love relationship 😅

ava96

Really reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it.
I don't really like it, it faded within a few mins of putting it on or maybe I became nose-blind to it. Either way, glad I just sampled this and not bought a bottle.
Pencil shavings is a good way to put it, but it gives me a headache.

Frenchghost

I agree with person below,this smells exactly like pencil shavings & light berry vanilla,it's not sweet tho,to me on my skin it's simple more woodsy in a very fine light wood way pencil ✏ shavings,this is not bad or good in my opinion, it's moderate on performance, this is not for me,if i didnt buy a sample&i bought a fb of this i can see this as a great layering perfume,but luckily got a sample,I'm glad to sample this tho always fun♡ If this had a stronger dark rich berry note for more balance&less pencil note,I'd probably buy it,and maybe a dash of spice for this style,would have been awesome,I like the bottle adventurous &dark. But it's an okay scent. ~☆~

kiristarr

On me, this is a light berry vanilla with pencil shavings. That might sound like an insult, but I really rather like it. I wish the fragrance had a bit more strength, but at the low price, I don't mind the slightly weak performance.

sibaraa

A very dry and woody rose/ berry scent. I like it a lot.

SaraZigova

Cheap smelling vanilla

rachel19971

Words cannot express how much I love this little gem. It is almost identical to Hot Couture which I love as well.

Dhayana

Blackberry Danish Dessert 😋
It's about 95% a dupe for Hot Couture EDT only difference is that this is sweeter and less spiciness. Absolutely love it specially for the price. First hour has the peppery blackberry notes then the yummy vanilla comes trough making it gourmand on me.

haleykbhenry

This smells like Black Opium by Saint Laurent with a hint of blackberry and a pepper note. Now that it’s cooling down I find this is an excellent fall fragrance. Great blind buy 🍁✨

Noveight

This one smells like candied blackberries with soft cream. It's milky and sweet. The pepper note dries down quickly and I only notice it during the first spray. It lasts VERY long for a fruity sweet scent. It reminds me of the blackberry version of Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy, but it doesn't have a shampoo note like Midnight Fantasy. I don't think this smells sexy--to me it smells more like a youthful, delicious scent. I would not get this if you don't like sweet scents. I personally love sweet scents (even if they are supposedly below my age range) and enjoy this before bed, so I can smell like a fruity dessert.

Vikki1985

This is really nice. On first spray all I got was Parma violrts/sweets, which I actually loved, I love expensive complex perfumes but I do love soft scents during the day or after a bath and in my experience they have actually been quite hard to come by to be honest but so that was my first impression soft Parma violets/sweets, then I start to smell a very slight hint of sugary rose and then it drys down smelling the same but starts to smell very much like Vivienne Westwood Cheeky Alice to my nose which I also love so overall it's a great cheapy that smells good, a nice soft scent.

To my nose this doesn't really resemble Avon Attraction, Avon attraction on me smells more like blackberries and cream with a hint of floral and it's an extremely soft scent, I love it in it's own right but to my nose they dont smell much alike. This does have a slight hint of Dkny stories on the odd occasion i can see why some have voted similarities between them but again it's only very slight.

Nice soft cheap fragrance

Kuty22

I like it very much. 'Inexpensive' and lovely
Sweet fruity, vanilla ❤️
The atomizer alone is stunning
I think you should definitely give it a try if you're into fruity, sweet, vanilla scents, but don't expect a powerhouse, in fact, I believe you'll appreciate more once you have more experience with more 'expensive' perfumes because you'll be able to appreciate this beauty in its simplicity.
You'll be surprised how long it lasts

SusanTheTeach

This perfume got me immediately addicted to smelling where I sprayed it! I purchased a sample of it first and now have a full bottle on its way. To me, it smells like Amethyst by Lalique if you take out the green notes, amp up the vanilla, and then you get the white florals added in the notes. It is so beautiful! I bought it for less than $15.00 on Fragrance Net. I can forsee myself getting a back-up bottle of this soon as it is intoxicating, a little unique, but still will probably be an easy grab for me, too. I would definitely recommend it.

Edit 5/24/22: Now I am confused. LOL. I still absolutely love this fragrance....I have a back up bottle and think I'm going to get a second back up bottle! But now, I know this is going to be a near 180, but now I smell Nina Ricci Chant d'Extase. I think it is a difference in the weather. It was much cooler 2 months ago when I got a much sweeter scent that smelled similar to Lalique Amethyst. I LOVE Nina Ricci Chant d'Extase so no harm, no foul that it is smelling like that one now that it is warmer. Maybe this means it is a year-round fragrance that acts very differently with the weather??? Regardless....love this one! And the bottle is very cool, too ;)

cristinap9587

Oh, this is quite a rare gem! It's one of the only perfumes I've repurchased over the years, I'm sad I did not get a full bottle but I had it so many years ago and was afraid it had changed. Fortunately it's still awesomeness in a bottle (although I hate the name). It's so very well blended, a fresh opening, just enough jasmine in the middle to make me love it and a dry down that to me feels somewhat metallic (I know that's not a thing but it's what I am left with, must be the cedar and remnants of blueberry). I don't get a lot of vanilla or musk, it's sweet but not too much, I would say it's like when you bite into juicy ripe blueberries on a hot summer day (a bit gourmand if you wish). The lasting power is awesome for the price, I love it more that so many other designer perfumes so I'm thinking of trying the flankers too. As an overall image, think leather jacket and boots kind of day, makes me feel badass! It's suitable for a day at the office (since it does not have such a good projection) but also for a night out, and definitely an all year round fragrance although I would not reach for it in summer during the day if it's really hot. It's staying in my permanent collection and that is something really rare!

katemax

I first tried this about 6 years ago or more, i tried a sample while at the hairdressers. I loved it then, but it was when my perfume addiction was just starting so my nose wasnt as refined as now. Over the years i never got round to buying it, then it kind of disapeared for a while. I bought the second one as i found it dirt cheap, and found it lovely, similar to how i remember 007. It wasnt mind blowing but nice. I recently had a bit of a perfume buying frenzy and got the original . It smells exactly how i remember ! really sweet, dark fruity vanilla with a peppery top. It makes me feel more girly and glam wearing it. Its more cold weather while the second one is better for warm weather.

natasha28

Review is for my own reference - I am pleasantly surprised by this! It's a yummy fruity pepper perfume! <3 Those notes remind me of Black XS by Paco Roban, not a similar scent, but similar as it's sweet and peppery (Black XS is more sweet and rosy and 007 is more woody). I wish the silage was a bit stronger. It feels like a sexy scent to me, very good for a cool night, the 007 brand adds to the mystery of it too. I think the price is too high, Fragrance net has it for about $55 for 75ml, to me that's too high on discount and I'm not sure how well the longevity would be. I would DEF keep this if gifted and I would buy it right away if it was $20-30! I'll add it to my watch list. Very well balanced, at first your get the sweet fruit, then pepper, and then some woody notes. If you breathe it too hard it smells a tiny bit like cherry halls.
Edit: oh yes I really like this!!!! It slightly reminds me of a celebrity fragrance or maybe Vera Wang Princess? I can't quite put my finger on it. It might be the vanilla note?

I prefer the dry-down woodsy notes of 007, and I prefer the fruitiness or Black XS PR, really hard to choose between the two!!

Iceblocks

I found a full 50mls of this for $5, so value-wise, this already wins on that front. Even at its usual price, it's not bad - longevity and strength are both decent, and it's well blended.

As for the scent itself: a tooth-achingly sweet fruit syrup with a hint of musk/woods in the base. It's not bad by any means but runs very youthful to my nose - very "bright pink neon". I ended up giving this to a younger cousin, who loves it - and it suits her much more than me!

It actually reminds me of Black Opium a little, in terms of the sugar-sweet note that runs throughout it. Potentially ethyl-maltol? I can only speculate!

Skin chemistry, as always, plays a role in this - on my sister this smells like sweet liquorice, with more of the pepper/woods coming through. It's not for me, but if your fragrance purchases lean towards the sweeter end of things, you'll be in luck with this one.

middle25

This has a juicy blackberry opening with a kick of spicy black pepper. I liked it from the first spray, very fluffy and sweet. The black vanilla husk anchor is strong. As it goes on, the gardenia and jasmine come through, pretty and creamy with a bit of musk. I don't get the plastic note that others have. Both longevity and sillage are moderate on my skin, which I was very happy about, considering some of the reviews that talked about poor lasting power. This was a blind buy and quite inexpensive. I think it could work year-round any time of the day.

CarmenW88

This perfume has the worst performance of any of the 200+ bottles I own. The first few seconds reeks of alcohol followed by a raspberry/red berry note for a solid two minutes (literally), and then nothingness. Terrible blind buy :(

lnoskin

This is my favorite layering perfume. It really goes great with any perfume. It will turn any perfume more musky/peppery. But I absolutely hate the bottle. It looks so bad on my perfume tray.

James Bond 007 for Women. I can almost hear Chandler Bing from Friends in my head saying: “Can the name BE any kitschier?” Still, I could not help myself, I just had to have it, the notes sounded promising, but at the same time I was not expecting much. It turns out that I was both right and wrong. I find the first 30-45 minutes after initial spraying to be gorgeous indeed, but the dry down happens quickly, and even though it is just fine at that stage, I find myself wanting to reapply after an hour or so. Much the same experience I had with the reformulated Stella by Stella McCartney.
The opening conjures forth an image in my mind of slices of fresh bergamot placed upon a thick layer of cream and baby pink rose petals sprinkled with black pepper. I get a very uplifting sensation, and it makes me smile as the heart notes blooms with lactonic white flowers, dominated by a sweet yet zesty blackberry. The jasmine and gardenia befriend the rose, resulting in a beautiful, slightly creamy, floral impression, the bergamot and black pepper are still there, but now subtly pulsating in the background.
After about 20-30 minutes, the base notes emerge adding a warm, understated sensuality with resinous cedar and white musk, and the black vanilla husk mixes with the lactonic facets of the flowers giving a delicious, smooth sweetness.
After about an hour, you are left with a skin scent of sweet blackberry-vanilla with subtle hints of spice, which lasts a couple of hours.
I would wear this one as a casual everyday scent year-round, primarily daytime due to its somewhat weak longevity. Sitting close to the skin, it can certainly be used in summertime, but I feel it will shine more in colder periods.
Tip: Bring the bottle with you so you can reapply throughout the day.

I picked up a 75ml bottle of this at Winners today for $15. I also grabbed the same for the 007 II, the pink one, although I already had a 30ml bottle of that one at home. Both are really good! I liked the pink one but this one has that little bit of edge to it, the musk and pepper and woody notes. Florals are backseat. The primary notes though are the berries and vanilla, which are just delicious and decadent. Love them! It is one nicely put together fragrance. And for $15? Wow. I'm really happy with this find. Performance is excellent. I still smell it clearly the next day, and not even nose to skin.

DebiL1211

Not sure I like this. I blind bought a bottle but the only thing I can smell is vinyl. Like the vinyl they used in diners for the seating. Or vinyl records maybe. For a split second I can smell berries. Hubby says he smells cotton candy. I wish I smelled what he was smelling. I would not buy this again.
Longevity was about 5 hours with sillage at arms length.

muahah

My association was secretary with pretty nails, who takes care of self in good way and maybe wear leather jacket with black medium to short skirt. It's not really office fragrance, it have some romantic twist to it. There's nothing harsh or deep. Sweet, but not too much. Sexy, but not too seductive. I can't really pick out any notes. It's slightly warm, mostly dark berry and vanilla. Slightly soap-y without being soap. Nothing over head, it's just good perfume. Woman 20+ up to maybe 35.

Bubbles1964

For a cheapie, this is quite good. Berry and pepper in the opening, a smidge of vanilla and musk in the base. Oddly, like another reviewer, I pick up the dreaded plastic note and I wish I didn’t. Otherwise I like everything else about it.

Very different from Blackberry and Vanilla Musk perfume from Trish McEvoy that I tested yesterday.... in a good way. This has better performance even though it stays close. Lots of similarities to other scents on the market so it won’t win any originality awards but I can imagine this working on a lot of people.

The bottle looks cool, but I’m still looking for a blackberry, vanilla and musk scent that works with my chemistry.

Jazieboo7410

Okay so! I purchased this in hopes that it would be a dupe for my Givenchy hot couture edt since so many people say it smells similar. Well, it is similar but this doesn’t even touch the beauty of hot couture. First off I have both scents on (one on each wrist) and hot couture overpowers this by far but the Sillage of 007 isn’t horrible. Hot couture is hot sizzling raspberry compote with fresh cracked black pepper on top while 007 is a more mild dried berry with an essence of vanilla and a light less fragrant spice. I think 007 is a good option if you like hot couture edt but want something a little more delicate and slightly less sweet. Overall 007 isn’t a bad scent. I probably won’t reach for this much because I prefer the alternative but if I ever run out of hot couture edt I’ll for sure wear it.


Also this reminds me of Armani code for men. It definitely has a cologne type vibe once the berry note starts to fade

Feige

When I smell this scent, I immediately imagine a sweet berry in the middle of a heavy cloud. Not really my thing.

ReneeW1

Wow, this is not what I expected. It is so much better! Fragnet has this for around $17 bucks and with the 007 name I figured this would be another cheap generic store fragrance with nothing to offer. I was wrong.

This is just Lovely fresh blackberries and vanilla with jasmine. It is a little heavy on the sweetness at first but the drydown happens pretty fast and some of the candy sweetness fades so it is more tolerable.

A yummy warm winter fragrance. And cheap enough that I feel like I can justify a FB.

Mona Lygre

I bought this little black beauty today (30 ml) because of the wonderful vanilla dry-down.

An it smells so good when I'm drinking a cup of black coffe and a tiny glas of cream liqueur, life can't get any better now :D

I also can smell the berries, very much fresh black-berries, and the sjasmin and the gardenia, perfeckt blended with the vanilla, and I can higly recommend this nice perfume :)

charlie.aeroplane

one of the most generic perfumes I know. nothing outstanding, common and undefinable.

Alces Alces

From a few feet away, this smells like leather, like a new pair of shoes or a purse. Close up, I get blackberry and vanilla. Not sweet, though. Just nice. Blackberry is my absolute favorite fruit, so I like this. Points also for smelling one way from afar and another up close - love that in a perfume.

It's a good scent for fall. Does not feel appropriate for steaming hot weather, more like something you would wear with a sweater.

I don't get the whole "Bond girl" angle. This is just comfy and warm. Like if Hallmark Cards started marketing perfumes.

EDIT: Really good in a dark cozy way. The bottle reflects the type of scent this is. Rainy fall night, walking home, waiting for the comfort of tea.

ScarlettX

I am so surprised that it's actually good. I find it delightful. The berry scent really reminds me of Hot Couture EDT, which is much more expensive of course.
Berries, vanilla, some black pepper and some light white floral note are the notes I get from it.
I think I would totally wear.
A very good replacement for Hot couture.
I recommend to try this one.

FDetti

It was a gift (too), i loved it :) It is the kind of fragrance that makes me smile but it's kind of chic as well. Not over-seductive,I think it is wearable to office or any time of the day. It is fruity but it's warm at the same time.
Not my number 1., but might buy it later, the price is very much affordable :)

_christine_

People rave about this one and I've had my eye out for a tester. I ran across one at Kohl's where they had several 50ml bottles in stock for $38USD.

It's very nice but very, very familiar. I had to sort through a few options - Ferragamo Misteriosa? Close but not as sweet. Valentina? Nope, it's missing the earthy note. Hot Couture EdT? BINGO.

This is Hot Couture with much better longevity. (Hot Couture EdT is beautiful but brief.)

RobertaVal

This is very good scent and very very good lasting power. I spray it in the morning and after shower in the evening i can still smell it. Wonderfull. I definetely could smell berry note and vanilla with some depth (pepper). And thats it. You can wear it everyday and anytime or occasion. And definetely agree it is safe blind buying.

Update:

OMG I just figured it out that this parfume is exactly the same as Viva la jucy Gold couture without caramel note. I sprayed them on each wrist and yes it is the same. And now I know why this James Bond parfume so popular.

Jasmindee

Anyone looking for this, Fragrance direct sell it at £14.95 for a 30ml bottle with a free gift! I'm buying my bottle now, will give my review when it comes. ;)

Edit:
Okay, so first of all, I quite like the bottle. It's not my favourite design, but it's pretty cute. Presentation is really important to me and I thought the body lotion that came with it looked a little bit cheap in a non-matching tube.

Moving on, this is blackcurrant with leather and smoke. I can really, really smell the leather on me even though it's not listed as a note and the sweet, juicy berry note compliments it pretty well.

I find it's a little masculine and could be considered unisex. Boyfriend gave it an "eh" when he smelt it, and I feel the same way. It's nice, and I find myself reaching for it before bed as I really love that sensual smoky smell, but it's not a favourite, and I probably wouldn't re-purchase.

Still, can't argue with such a cheap price tag!

gabbi4god

I love this fragrance! Who would have thought...

It is a wonderful surprise and I do agree it smells similar to Hot Couture. (which I adore!) There is a delicious note in there that's like pie filling mixed with vanilla. Just perfect! Deeper and musky for fall and winter. It's not over powering so would be safe for the office. Very glad to have added this to my collection!

mapache

This stuff is FAB-U-LOUS !! What a surprise.
I won't go into all the notes ...but who cares whats in it...it just smells devine. Love at first sniff fo me.
I will be ordering a back-up bottle ASAP,sine it is discontinued. OK, on the slight negative side...it does not last a long time on my skin..and the projection is on the softer side..IMO. I hight recommend this scent...and I will say this too...I feel it would be a safe blind-buy. Get one while you can !!
9/10...a hidden GEM.People have said it has some similarities to Belle de Opium...???...Now I am more curious to give that one a test too.

rufflesbows

Finally, this is mine! This fragrance is all juicy blackberry, black pepper, and vanilla. I smell nothing else and it is delicious! I especially love the black pepper for the fresh kick it gives.

I smelled this at Kohl's months ago, but I ordered it from Notino. The bottle is super cool. Looks like a shiny black hand grenade!

This perfume on my skin is very long lasting, but the sillage is weak. This is fine for me since I wear perfume for myself not others.

If you are on the fence about this one, just go for it!

sassa7

This bad boy is like the guy my mind turns down, but I keep desiring. I had loved it so much when it first came out, bought it, returned it cuz the tester smelled better than the bottle i bought, the one I got smelled like fish on me. So I bought it again because I couldnt stop thinking of it.
Musk, Bergamot, Blackberry, Cedar, all favorite notes of mine. The Bergamot also contained in Hot Couture Edt,it gives it a fruity dessert syrupy vibe. Idk why leather is not listed in the notes, I def smell something leathery, makes it alittle "twisted" in my mind thats what i love about it, its not conventional. This scent reminds me of a Cat woman,sexy and macho, wind in her hair, shiny black leather boots and rides the night. Ill buy it again and keep it this time!! Sillage is great and lasts forever till the next day too. HG status. Im in love so glad I gave it another chance.

Update: Forever in love, I stock up on this black prince hoping I can take him to the afterlife with me. I smelled the fresh black pepper bottle in my kitchen the other day as I was cooking and it really reminded me of the black pepper note in this. It is very realistic and strong here, I LOVE it! It became one of my favorite perfumes that I can never take down from the favorites shelf. Bergamot, black pepper, blackberry, rich creamy gardenia and the best of the woods, cedar. This is highly addictive to me. I absolutely love the bottle too, it reminds me of a body armor. I also have the pink II version of this and that one smells closer to Hot Couture EDT than this one and it is a warmer composition due to the pink pepper/champagne presence and the roses. This one is cold just like its bottle, and darker, sweet but not warm, kinda like me haha.

SailorV

This might be one of the best of the current drugstore fragrances, at least in my country (Germany) where we have lots of boring generic stuff like Betty Barclay or S.Oliver on the drugstore shelves. It's not a must have to me, but I think it would be a very good choice for a small gift. I'd certainly be happy if someone gave me a bottle of 007.

The first spray is mostly blackberry. Then the perfume becomes soft woody with a lot of cedar and a bit powdery+creamy with a make-up vibe, freshened up by a winey rose and the blackberry. The pepper is noticeable, but not bitingly sharp. There is a hint of vanilla, but this is no sweet gourmand. It's quite linear, but I like that the fresher notes don't vanish too quickly. 007 balances dry, warm and clean accords.
I wouldn't wear this with an evening dress like in the ad, it's more of an everyday scent. Good for the office: Feminine, grown up and inoffensive with medium intensity, low projection and average to good longevity.

Scentedalterego

This is great for it’s price point! Fruity sweet, but not too sweet, quite original with Alien like jasmine and great longevity...Snatch a bottle now that it's taken out of production and is still cheap.

Beadvised

Wow its really too bad this is being discontinued! This smells truly amazing and I love it. Beautiful blended vanilla and florals. I didn't know about this fragrance until I joined this site. I'm thinking poor advertising is why it's not being made anymore. The actual fragrance is amazing.

Corinne39

Blackberry..gorgeous..fruitiness..but not in a sweet & sickly way! Great longevity and a beautiful soft dry down with a hint of musk & vanilla..Addicted!!!

There is something a little rough about this, which I think is the pepper. Peppery fruity, the vanilla is quite quiet, the musk overpowers it. Er, this isn't an especially classy bond girl, I would imagine she's more of a rogue drug mule whose decided to help Bond. Or is this stuff supposed to be for a lady spy? In which case she's impersonating a drug mule :)
Overall I like it, it's quite distinctive.

sugahuni

An absolute beauty! Smells sweet/fruity floral yet slightly musky,divine.Longevity and sillage are great

Oh, she smells good!

Blackberry zest!!! The lasting power in this scent is wonderful! This is a gem. So fruity and a little peppery.

PLUMPIE

A cheap thrill easy to wear peppery berry scent with an incensey musky base. Indeed very much like Hot Couture on opening minus the smokiness and strength ends like SJP lovely once the day is through. Easy to wear and office appropriate but decent enough and sultry enough for evening a great option to keep in my handbag. A lovely scent for a great price!

FashionBlonde

The best Alien copy out there, except this one does not last near as long. Alien in a beast, this one is a kitten. Love the scent though.

Time for another review of my new collection. Hmm.. To start with -- the moment I sprayed this on my wrist, I know it's smells generic, not original and I'm very sure I smell this before on someone and she didn't wear anything 007 Bond. Someone with strong personality, confident and charismatic. Still looking for the mysterious part mentioned in the description above -- well, couldn't find it. It's straightforward, I must say. I noticed the blackpepper on the top notes, second after that, blackberries and vanilla take turns and it smells citrusy which I believe came from the lime in the listed ingredients. It smells fresh, young (no doubt) but candy-like a little bit. Definitely for mid 20s to early 30s. It has a very poor longevity, on my skin not even an hour. I think, after 30mins.. *poofff* it's gone! Considering this is a very expensive fragrance I have (because I have to re-spray). Not deserved to be labelled as Eau De Parfum either. Silage is soft to moderate. I don't love it but I don't hate it either. If I could return this and get back my money, I'll definitely do so, unfortunately we don't have that kind of business policy here in Malaysia. So yeah, I'm just keeping it and wear till it finished. Definitely not going to repurchase.

*_Lilly_*

Like this one a lot, just wish it lasted longer :(
For the price ( I know it's not high end...) anyway because I wanna douse myself in it lol :P
Spicy, spicy :) But in a soft creamy feminine way. I think it may be the black vanilla, cedar and pepper that stands out most on me. It is colder here now though. I like it. Like another poster said "easy to wear" ;)

unsrsly

Love this! The pretty bottle caught my attention. This smells sweet and delicious with the vanilla and blackberry and then the black pepper causes it to be a bit spicy, mysterious and sexy. It is unique.

TrishGSD86

I bought the gift set at Kphl's for 50% off and I do not regret it! I'm terrible at describing scents so I won't even try. But this lasted all day on my skin and seemed to evolve and change all day. I absolutely love this and can see myself wearing it a lot in the cooler months.

lulu169

just bought it today for 50% off. I like it better than the newer release, this smell more young than the new one which is too heavy and make me feel like 10 years older than I am

blake.lee

This is unisex in my opinion and the opinion of the stranger I forced to smell it at the department store lol. The opening has heavy berries and strong woody notes. It stays this way with the addition of a prominent musk in the drydown. I smell a touch of vanilla and I could swear sandalwood. It's a more masculine version of Hot Couture by Givenchy.

Madrona

Blackberry vanilla heaven but definitely not overly sweet/childish, it is quite sexy. I am not getting too much pepperiness, but I guess it helps in steering it away from being junior somehow. I actually got a small shower gel of this as a sample when buying cosmetics months ago and I quite liked it. When I became a member of Fragrantica I looked the scent up and found out what the bottle looked like.

Fast forward until today when I was casually browsing an outlet store that sells testers and the like and I found an almost full 75 ml tester of this for 3 (!!!) euros. Both the fragrance and the bottle appeal to me a lot, I find the 007 thing a bit tacky but it is stamped on the bottle very discretely as not to distract from the design, wise choice. I am one happy camper! Love.

liisa77

This is hot couture edt, but better! It lasts even next day! And smells like hot coutufe edt an old days, love it and especially drydown is so nice!

pandasjors

Lovely! Reminds me of the Paco Rabanne fragrances. Fruity, spicy, warm and vanillary. Longevity is also quite nice for this pricerange: sprayed it on at 7 pm and could smell it the next morning still. It's more of a nighttime perfume but I wear it daytime anyway.

ParfumAmour

This starts with fresh lemon, mouthwatering citrus, then a softer fruity vanilla comes through. It remains sweetly fruity, with a musky base. This is not a cloying sweetness like pink sugar.
It is more of a fresh vanilla, creamy with berries, and some flowers on the side.

gamme82

Its so lovely furthermore its really nice fruity vanilla very oriental and sensual. Sillage is moderate and longevity around 6-7 hours. I love it.

kristamb

I absolutely LOVE this perfume!!! I was at Kohl's, sniffing through a bunch of fragrances to see if anything stood out, and this was it for me!!! It initially smells very sweet to me, but then dries down to a nice, creamy scent for me. I really don't view this fragrance as an oriental scent, but it is SOOO pretty! I really love it, and I was surprised by the notes as it transitioned into different scents on my skin. I also have Hot Couture, which is slightly similar to me but definitely not a dupe. I personally much prefer James Bond 007 to Hot Couture!

polkadot27

Bought this today in the sale- Beautiful deep dewy juicy fruit smell- dark mouthwatering and captivating very sensual and seductive scent. inexpensive too, well worth the money, You get a top quality luxurious smelling fragrance for a really good price with this one. The dry down smells of leather and vinyl- I adore this scent it is intoxicating delicious.

nvenus

Pepper, cedar and a little bit of rose and bergamot. Has a leather-like scent.

G00D_Girl

I went out looking for this as a cheep alternative to Hot Couture as people have suggested that they are similar.

Although this shares some similarities to HC personally I would not buy this in place of it.

The opening is very generic juvenile raspberry and lacks the depth or interest of HC. It does improve in the dry down as it starts to impart a slight vague powderyness. This is where the similarity to HC starts and ends. The silage and lasting power is very weak.

I much prefer HC because it immediately imparts a slightly powedery smokey incense quality that I adore.

superpuppan

I don't notice as much berries in this as many others seem to do. The first hour or so it smells like vanilla and pepper, and also milk chocolate (Kinder Maxi aka the chocolate bar with the best slogan ever 'More milk, less chocolate'). It's not the worst 'celebrity' perfume I've smelled but certainly not the best one either.
After the first hour it simply smells nothing.

polkadot27

A very unique scent, I mostly get a mixture of berries sprinkled with pepper. I like this one- it isn't innocent smelling it is quite deep and mysterious smelling- I would describe this as soft spicy/dewy fruity scent. It is definitely a winter scent- it is strong intoxicating and juicy. I tried this at boots chemist months ago and I went in the other day looking for it but they no longer have it. I am disappointed because i wanted to test it again and was going to potentially buy it. The longevity and Silage are really good- lasts 8 hours on me and people complimented me on it where usually no one ever does as they cant smell fragrances on me.

Profumella

Musk and cedar are very noticeable. To me this is too much like men's fragrance even this one is made for women. I didn't notice enough vanilla or any sweet scents. This is not very sweet fragrance I guess this one is also very suitable for men

psychobutterly

very interesting perfume, for me in about an hour it changed to a different smell, it still stayed strong, but totally different, I love it. you can say whatever, but it definetly doesnt smell cheap

BettyNoir

awful fake smelling vanilla. Dislike!

amywamywoo

I've only sprayed this on a tester strip so far but yes this definitely shares similarities with Givenchy Hot Couture EDT.
This is sweeter though, and not as smoky.
I find the branding a bit cringey, who wants to tell people they're wearing 007?

Anyways, it's really pretty. Sweet and sexy!
A solid like from me, I'll be buying this when it goes on sale.

Miffy8900

A very elegant berry and vanilla fragrance, but without it becoming too dessert-y or teenage girl like, such as Calvin Klein Shock does, even though they are similar. In my opinion this is like a timeless classic, that will suit many types of women. It can be worn both night and day. The bottle is very elegant, and suit the fragrance beautifully. I can totally imagine a Bond Girl wearing this.
Last long and projects great. A hidden gem - and a bargain at the price. Unfortunately it is a bit hard to get ind my country (Denmark) and I had to buy it online to get my hands on it.
One of these fragrances you can't go wrong with, when in doubt in the morning <3

ChaosbySteffi

I don't know why but for some odd reason the James Bond fragrance smells on my skin like a softer lighter version of Thierry Mugler Alien, which i adore. I thought i found a dupe for the Thierry Mugler Alien but unfortunately its not. The lasting power on this is maximum 2h. In comparison to Alien which last for days, its way to expensive to purchase this in a full size.

PinkSpottyCow

Received some samples of this perfume to try out. I was very curious to see what it would be like.
Verdict: it's not bad at all. Was pleasantly surprised. Much better quality than I'd imagined. Thought I might have been too old for it at 30+ but it brings out a playful side.
You can smell spicy vanilla with a hints of jasmine, cedar and rose.
It is a little generic, and as mentioned in other reviews there are other similar fragrances available but it's long-lasting and comes in a cute bottle! So, I'd say go for it if you like this kind of scent. It is very affordable too!

dormir6

Something in it has touched me! Mild and feminine. Not directly in-the-face seductive, or an overtly sexy one. It's more in the line of Trussardi My Name or Lacoste pour femme. Soft, silky, light, and unforgettable. Vanilla, a little breeze of berries to avoid being generic vanilla-sweet line.I love it!!!!

KRY32

This is the new 007 perfume from the brand. I was expecting something more intense, sensual and mature from this fragrance, but it's not any of those things.
This reminds me of VERA WANG-PRINCESS. It's light and smells like candy.
I would recommend this, however, mainly for those in their teens and early twenties. It still an adorable fragrance and leaves you with a positive view of brand BOND.

LuSlovakia

i have problem to find my new signature,since i´m looking for really long lasting parfum, i want it to be almost permanent on my skin, like a tattoo:) well, this is even more than i expected! yesterday at 13.oo i put only one spritz on my wrist. i went to work, went home, had shower,etc. and i swear i woke up in the middle of the night smelling this!^_^ now, more than 24hrs after applying, i still smell it gently.

opposite to reviewer bellow, i find the lasting quality comparable to Britney´s Fantasy, which i also own. in this beauty i can detect rose milk and pepper, it´s mature and very sexy. my only problem is, that scent is little too oriental for my taste, so i still consider buying it.

xclairabellax

What a shame.....

I was quite looking forward to trying this as it has notes ive really been into lately.

The initial blast is good,it has elements of a couple of perfumes I like - Hot Couture, Crystal Noir and Rocker Femme Fantasy.

Unfortunately it disintegrates to nothing!

I could barely smell it after half an hour...even the tester strip smelled of nothing.

If you like it i would suggest you try britney rocker femme instead - smells very similar and its MUCH stonger! (and cheaper)

LizzieDee

The initial impact is of creamy blackberries and it doesn't change very much over time - it stays sweet and the blackberries become a bit less obvious, but that's about it. It's rather sickly, not very sophisticated and smells like a cheap body spray. I have to say that I don't tend to like fruity scents, but I can tell the difference between a well-made fruity scent that doesn't appeal to me personally and a crude fruity scent. This is quite crude.

reborn

Hot couture by Givenchy aaall the way!!!

nitschevo

Tested this today and must say that I like it! It's creamy and somewhat lotion-like - a plus for me. The berries lend it some tartness but in a very soft way. I can detect the rose and vanilla quite well in the beginning but after an hour all notes blend together nicely. Can't yet say anything about sillage but I received some samples today so will make an update asap. This Bond Girl is on a secret undercover mission - she creeps up on you ;)

Verdict: A steal for those who like fragrances like My Name and are searching for a similar fragrance without the price tag.

Edit: This also reminds me of EL Modern Muse.

Angela Agiannidou

Tried this today out of curiosity, not too bad, the quality is better than I expected, spicy vanilic berries with a touch of Jasmin and rose in a background of cedar, quite alluring I would say in the same spirit as many mainstream concoctions, a nice crowd pleaser, and there is nothing wrong with that, I love niche and vintages but there are times I would love a sweet, deliciously aromatic scent. After the initial blast of berries and vanilla follows a musky gardenia very smooth and persistent.
Very affordable, sillage very good and longevity great so far. Wouldn't mind buying it at all.

LupeX

This is so bad, wow this is so bad. Unfortunately it smells of what I can imagine low class perfume would smell like. It smells cheap and classless.
it is supposed to have a femme fatale sultry darkness to it, but it smells like generic cheap sweet and woody masculine fragrance notes.

Claire84

I wasn't sure what to expect from a 'Bond Girl' fragrance. Something seductive and sexy, at least. So I was sort of disappointed when I tried it. I can smell the fruits and the pepper, and the vanilla is noticeable, but I feel it's too light and pretty to epitomise a Bond Girl.

I really like the design of the bottle and packaging, but the colours remind me a lot of the recent Black Opium. The same rosy pink and black combo.

It's not an unpleasant fragrance, I actually quite like it. Not sure it will becomes anyone's favourite or signature scent, but if someone gave me a bottle I'd wear it. It's nice enough for an every day or work scent.
