Fire Island by Bond No 9
For: women and men Designer: Bond No 9 Olfactive Group: Oriental
!The warm, golden-yellow colored bottle carries a sun in its middle, indicating that this is a fragrance dedicated to beach, laying the clothes aside and giving up to the sun rays. Near New York, about 90 km away from the center of the city, there is the Fire Island where the New Yorkers spend their weekends enjoying beaches and vacation. Dedicated to the sun, this perfume warms us with sweet spicy cardamom and ozone. The heart is made of fresh sweet neroli and white musk, and the base is formed of musk, leather, honey, sensual tuberose and patchouli. Michael Almairac is the creator of this oriental unisex perfume. It has been on the market since 2006 and it is available in 50 and 100 ml bottles.
The nose behind this fragrance is Michel Almairac.

This is defiantly a womens scent NOT a man's scent. It is very similar to Bonds West Side scent. Very floral and a little more interesting than West Side. It is not for me, being a man.

Fire Island is strangely comforting to me. At first it's almost so strong it gives me a headache, but not quite, and I like it so I can't bring myself to wash it off. After a bit it tones down.
Indeed it makes you think of beaches but not in the tropical/fruity/floral way. In the way a beach really smells if surrounded by palm trees, maybe some Hala, but a lush green backdrop. Peaceful and muggy, just enough of a breeze, sitting in the shade, low waves crashing on a sandy shore gently broken by rocks.
This is my first Bond perfume, now I have to search out the others!

Oh, it's wonderful! It does remind me of white sandy beaches, and basking in the sun! It's bright and sexy, and a little intoxicating. I really like that it lacks the coconut that so many "beachy" fragrances have.

this is one of the most unique scents i've ever smelt. it is the only unisex scent that (so far) appeals to me.
it is so very long lasting and everytime i wore it someone would ask me what i was wearing.
i love it and i often stole spray's of it from my mom's vanity.
would really like to own a bottle but it is very difficult to find in my country.

I love this scent, it lasts a long time and smells great. This scent gears more towards the ladies side. But, I havent smelled it on a man yet.

WOW, this fragrance is gorgeous! It reminds me of the beach, suntan oil and the ocean. Fire Island is unique!
In the beginning, I can smell a very strong, spicy and sexy note, which calms down to a suntan oil note. Spray it on, and you're at the beach, you can see the sun and hear the waves of the oceans.
There is a little similarity to Bobbi Brown's Beach, but Fire Island is more like a spicy and sexy suntan oil, and Beach smells like a cheap and medicinal suntan oil.

I was testing this one today, and decided I really liked the scent....the fresh yet warm spicy/musky thing it has going for it is great. But it smelled SO familiar! Then I read the reviews and it smacked me in the face; Bain de Soleil! Yes! It isn't exact, but the effect is the same. I still like it, for the comfort of the scent and the pleasant memories of the summers of my teen years....sigh!

Since my last entry, I gave my sample away to a female co-worker.
I went up to her to ask what she was wearing and to my surprise she said "It's the sample of Fire Island you gave me."
She told me on the way to work, "for some reason I had this song in my head, do you remember the Bain de Soleil commercial?" I started to laugh and explained to her about the fragrance.
On her, the neroli, white musk and patchouli blended so beautifully. It also did remind me of Bain de Soleil Orange gelee.
I will have to give Fire Island another try.

I have tried this fragrance several times and just can't seem to get over how much it reminds me of hairspray.
I read the description and looked forward to the scent of European suntan lotion (Bain de Soleil). I always used the Orange gelee when tanning because I just love the smell.
Although it does smell like salt water, the ozone notes are to overpowering to enjoy the other notes.
I am a big fan of Bond No. 9 fragrance, but this one will not be in my collection anytime soon. But I have not yet written it off.

This Bond is nice, reminds me of salty beaches, but its very similar in notes to Bobbi Brown's Beach fragrance, which i already have, so i wont be purchasing this.
