Fashion Avenue Bond No 9 for women

This is the second Bond frag I've tried ... oh dear! I don't think I'm going to have much in common with this house, unfortunately. Firstly ... the price of these fragrances is IMHO out of sync with what they are. Secondly, too much Musk. I'm sure that there are many who love this note in all it's strengths, but I don't personally find it 'clean' or 'creamy' ... just fusty and old fashioned. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand the neccessary use of musk in fragrances as a base ... but for me, that's all it should be and in very limited quantities. Same goes for patchouli. I used to wear Jovan musk as a teenager (whatever posessed me??) ... Fashion Avenue takes me straight back there opening with a blast of musk tinged with light florals, then proceeding to a sweetish musk in the heart and drying down to ... mmm ... let's see ... MUSK!! Way too linear on my skin and way too musky! Smells like an old age home on me! Such a pity :o( ... I'd have loved to wear something called Fashion Avenue!

I love this fragrance. This is not a scent for when you want to scream for attention with your perfume, this is one for when you are looking to quietly make yourself stand out from the generic ones.
I have seen this compared to Eau de Noho, and with my chemistry there is no comparison. EdN is a very powdery floral on me, an old fashioned fragrance. FA is a more modern interpretation. The mimose and musk lend themselves to a clean, soft floral scent that I personally love especially in the hot summer months. Sillage is great, not overbearing but leaving a little scented whisper as you pass others by and the longevity is amazing on me, in my opinion this is a quietly sexy scent.....

This is no doubt absolutely wonderful, feminine and romantic floral. At the opening I swear I felt some lovely green linden blossoms and at the opening it reminded me a lot of thei other work - Eau de Noho, but at the heart buttery and warm ylang ylang appears. It usually does not work with my skin well, but Fashon Avenue has this quality that the ylang ylang is not dominant and blends very well together with everything else.
It's very comforting and lovely and should be tested by all of those who love romantic florals as this is with fantastic quality. Beautiful.

Checked the nose. Bravo! I must say I don't love this as much as I love Eau de Noho, but if on sale I'd grab a bottle and wear very proudly.

Ummm... All I smell is Dove Soap. Seriously, I just left Saks with a sample paper in my hand. So mild, so clean, so unbelievable that it costs so much.

Mimosa and ylang-ylang mingle enticingly in Bond no 9 FASHION AVENUE, a beautiful, feminine floral fragrance. I have worn this edp a few times now and found that it is a bit strong and volatile for excessive temperatures (>85F), but it works wonderfully in more moderate weather such as the mild 67F we have at this moment.

I really appreciate this amalgamation of mimosa and ylang in a creamy clean musk base. FASHION AVENUE has good longevity thanks to a resinous quality which I find very appealing, but it is entirely different from that of PARK AVENUE--or other florals familiar to me. There is a touch of velvety sweetness which makes me think of tuberose, though it is not listed as a note. Whatever the unlisted mystery ingredients may be, this composition is a winner!

a nice floral scent, like an expensive shampoo (in a good way), mimosa is great here, feminine and elegant indeed) the downside is lack of sillage or staying power: it is intense in the beginning, but gradually fades away, so there might be a need to re-apply later. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly beautiful, like a little piece of luxury))

Subtle and sweet, quiet, stays close to the skin; very sexy but without being strong or having good silage, I would say this is more of a bedroom perfume than a fashion statement as the name suggests. Delicate and serene, a very elegant scent... I would definitely like to have a big bottle if I could find it for a good price, because the scent is charming, soft, creamy and super feminine.

Fashion Avenue is inspired by the garment district in New York. This soft yet interesting floral is perfect for fashionistas and perfumistas alike. The immediate pick me up of the black current will set the mood for a day of shopping while the the mesmerizing freshness of mimosa with the scent of clean will have you reeling in delight while scouring the shops and boutiques. After an exhilarating day, the ylang ylang will calm your senses while you enter the evening with the soft touch of cashmere musk. This chic and stylish fragrance is a keeper but the staying power is weak, so be generous with your spritzing, and carry an atomizer filled with this quietly sexy scent in your handbag for frequent touch ups! If fashion is your passion this luxury perfume is for you!
