Andy Warhol Bond No 9 for women and men

I'll keep this short.

It's a warm and sweet fragrance owing to the woodier notes as well as the sweetening plum which stays in the midst of projection throughout. The other note I do get is vanilla, but it's not that strong.

It's a nice fragrance but I'm not crazy over it. Definitely a colder weather scent and geared slightly towards the feminine side.

7/10

This probably requires a bit more adjustment, so I can only give some initial impressions.

The plum in the top is nice, not overly sweet, but a pleasant note for the fragrance. I wish it had more of a chance to unfold and develop, which sadly it didn't before the entire mixture evolved into only the distinguishable notes of sandalwood and vanilla. I'm told it's a Madagascar Vanilla, but it's so subdued that it also is underdeveloped and doesn't emerge from the base. And perhaps it's an unfair comparison since I've had the chance to wear Spiritueuse Double Vanille recently, and the Bond pales by comparison.

This isn't bad, but I don't see this as the best effort Bond has put forth. The plum and other elements could have either been explored more fully or removed to make the core elements more pronounced. This is a melange that didn't have much chance to open up beyond a very vanillin/sawdust base. People might examine for the sheer novelty, but this could do with more of a reformulation to bring it from its present state of mediocrity.

Incredible!Sweet but not too sweet like blue sugar or rochas a masculine sweet plum,vanilla,oud,sandlewood great for winter.Last great scent for the class of 2011!!!

Purple seems like the perfect color for the image of Andy Warhol on the bottle of Bond no 9 ANDY WARHOL, because it contains a very inky, plummy, incense perfume. Oddly enough, there is also a very marked peach note, which hovers over the top of the composition and can be teased out by my nose (if I concentrate..) from the more intense purple amalgam which dominates the scent.

The inkiness reminds me a bit of the opening of Lalique ENCRE NOIRE, but the dark plum and peach really make this unique. There is a strong, deep, cooked fruitiness to this composition, without its being very sweet. With such *great* longevity and pretty big sillage, this latest entry in the Bond line up seems to me like a straight-up perfume, not a cologne. I don't think that it is more feminine than masculine, but it definitely has a depth and heft which are more characteristic of women's fragrances than men's. Apply sparingly for full enjoyment. (-;

First impression; this fragrance is pretty unique to me. I get a sweetness from plum, strong patchouli, dry and spicy oud, sandalwood with a mild spicy kick, and powdery flowers (rose?). It is actually more incensey because I get a strong frankincense. The scent is heavy at first but will settle down and last a long time. Overall, this is a unique creation. I like the smokey and woody quality in here, but I am not a big fan of the sweet plum. In fact, I don't even like to eat plum. :( I would like it better if the sweetness comes from something more oriental like amber.
