by Bond No 9
Chez Bond by Bond No 9 is a crisp, green-woody fragrance with a refined and balanced profile. It opens with bright citrus, green grass, violet leaf, and tea notes, creating a fresh and slightly musky sensation that feels both clean and mature. The middle and base notes evolve into a smooth, creamy blend of sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, and tea, lending a comforting, earthy drydown without overpowering the green character. While it shares strong similarities with Green Irish Tweed—particularly in its opening and green tone—it stands out as slightly more balanced, with a slightly sweeter, tea-driven heart and a less aggressive, more consistent performance than GIT. Longevity is moderate to good, lasting up to 8 hours, and it features moderate to strong projection for the first few hours, making it wearable in professional and casual settings. The fragrance embodies a classic, masculine elegance, ideal for spring and summer, and appeals especially to those who appreciate clean, sophisticated scents without the intensity or variability of Creed’s Green Irish Tweed. It’s a versatile, wearable alternative to GIT for those seeking a more refined and harmonious green woody scent.
