Hamptons Bond No 9 for women

Bond No.9 Hamptons smells delicious and why not if it is a carbon-copy of Creed Silver Mountain Water... (I stay with the original)

This one opens up with a light citric bergamot aroma combined with a delicate combo of floral notes dominated by lime blossom, which trough time develops into a jasmine dominant fragrance and so, it stays like that for the rest of the fragrance. Not bad at all, but nothing outstanding as well, in my opinion.

Alright, now we're talking!

Hamptons is a wonderful, woody floral aquatic fragrance that shares similarities with Silver Mountain Water by Creed, BUT it's a lot more wearable and enjoyable. Silver Mountain Water, generally, has a big screechy metallic note that combines with the ambergris to create something awful on my skin. Hamptons eliminates the ambergris and the screechiness, and brings in some awesome lime blossom (which is a little like neroli), creamy florals, and resinous woody notes and straight up smells good. Granted, it definitely shares a tea-like note with Silver Mountain Water, as well as the fabled "inky" note that made Silver Mountain Water so unique. This also lasts longer than Silver Mountain Water on my skin, which makes it a winner.

Hamptons is a fragrance that I'd actually buy a full bottle of, but granted, the Hamptons isn't exactly my favorite place on Long Island. My heart belongs in Montauk (the fragrance for Montauk is mediocre), but I guess Hamptons isn't *too* stuffy for me to wear, as long as the Montauk folks don't notice ;)

I really enjoyed wearing Hamptons, but some of whom I asked said they thought it was a little too distinctive. It reminds me a bit of Creed's Silver Mountain Water that I love, but my wife hates.

It has a hint of dirtiness in it, which I think adds to it's sexiness, maybe it's similar to that dirty salt smell of the ocean.

Terrible smell on my nose but still adorable blending, so well blended and balanced equally.
Opening is near to an Arabian perfume I had; Al-Rehab Silver, so neater and cleaner, but still confusing and complicated.
Middle phase is floral obviously and soapy, misty, heavy. It lose its semi-aquatic pattern just in the opening and the base is tolerable and softer, I love it only in this time. But nothing so special overall. Just a touch of flowers, tough well balanced.

longevity 7/10
sillage 10/10
scent 3/10

I went to Saks Fifth Ave. to try "Eau de New York" (which I was dieing to try for months and months). Big disappointment all I could get out of it was that overbearing smell of neroli (overkill)and woods. So I went through the collection and came across The Hamptons. love at first smell. When I first sprayed it on the scenery of fresh Magnolias and soft jasmines filled my mind. I've smelled jasmine before and I hate it its strong and old fashioned, but in Hamptons its young and vibrant. The Magnolia is soapy and sensual. As it dries down the citrus notes start to come in, instead of the strong orangy or limey scent most fragrances have, Hamptons has more of a tarty candy like arrangment. My favorite part of the drydown is when the candied citruses meet the calm turkish rose which makes this scent classy and unforgettable. The lasting power is unreal I spray it on yesterday at 5:30 p.m. and it was 8:00 in the morning when I woke up and the fragrance was still there not a trail, but actually still on me. This fragrance reminds me of the forals in M by Mariah carey (warm). Overalln will I buy it again ($175) maybe but I do want to try more of the Bond 9 collection. I call it a evening to night time scent.
You don't have to like the scent, but you have to respect the fact that this scent has one of the most stunningly beautiful forals, if not the best than any other scent in this category. The forals are just creamy and captivating.

Strong basil, lime and lemon, aquatic notes and musk are present in this masculine fragrance. Thank goodness this has a great bottle!!! Overall, I'm really loving everything about Bond No 9 except their juices! I just don't understand!

I tried this as a sample "candy wrapper" vial and it was love @ first spray! It's as fresh as an Ocean breeze with some beautiful floral notes and a stunning dry-down! This THE consumate Springtime scent...like being on a nice boat off the coast enjoying the Sun and the scent of the salt air! I HIGHLY recommend it...Bond 9 does an impeccable job with their fragrances using the most refined ingredients!

Ah.. "The Hamptons"! I used this on the hotter days this past summer and loved it, from start to finish.
The lime, jasmine and linden are intoxicating and it dries to a nice soft white musk. It's pricey but ya don't need to spray much for the effect. As I wore it, I was reminded of being somewhere like St. Thomas or St. John in the Caribbean and thought to myself, "this must be what a Pirate Ship's Captain would wear," "Limey, Fresh and Gin like".

Another example of Bond no 9's excellent use of lime/linden blossom, HAMPTONS is a refreshingly aromatic floral summer scent with more of a feminine edge than NOUVEAU BOWERY. I am surprised that HAMPTONS has been categorized as floral aquatic, as this is much closer to a citrus aromatic, at least according to my nose.

I completely disagree with those who find HAMPTONS to be indistinguishable from Creed SILVER MOUNTAIN WATER, a fragrance which is much less natural smelling, and far more metallic than citrus. (I just did a side-by-side test, so I'm not working only from memory here...) The Creed water base is, needless to say, an acquired taste.

Comparing the three linden blossom Bond no 9 edps I've tried to date: HAMPTONS is less masculine than NOUVEAU BOWERY (which seems very much a vetiver frag) and less funky--more conservative?--than CENTRAL PARK, which some may find too bitter....

I do appreciate the enhanced florality here, but am disappointed by the lasting power. Still, I may at some point (next summer?) acquire a bottle of HAMPTONS.

this is definitely unisex,a good one, and i don't see it as aquatic but i see it as a summer scent

I haven't yet found a Bond No. 9 fragrance that I really click with, but Hamptons was very nice. I am not a fan of aquatic scents in general and was surprised at how much I liked this one. Probably my favorite of any I have tried so far.

Hamptons is a pleasant aquatic floral, with a slightly citrus/cologne effect in the top notes. Definitely unisex and possibly better suited to men than women, unless you're a woman who dislikes overly sweet scents. Hamptons is worth a try if you're that woman.

Seems like a good scent for spring and summer. Very light and refrehsing, slightly beachy, but has good persistence and lasted through an entire work day.

This scent seems a little masculine. On me I get a little hint of lemon. Its ok.

I detected alot of cedar in this medium strength citrusy floral aquatic fragrance. The flowers are quite heady and made me think of Summer. The whole composition is a good representation of walking along the dock by the seaside - very pleasant.

Hamptons is a really nice fragrance, the notes of lime blossom and bergamot are great... but it's almost the same as Creed's Silver Mountain Water, they smell so much alike, that most people can't tell the difference.

Missing the beach I'm back to being a Bond girl! Not James Bond 007 but Bond No 9!
This beach like scent is all it's cracked up to be beginning with the presentation of the ocean blue bottle. Upon application the ocean breeze and the atmosphere of surf and sand can be felt immediately with it's citrus notes. The floral heart with the punch of magnolia puts me in a state of summer sunshine, just what I need while the sprinkling of snow is upon me. The rich, even tempered dry down with its comforting notes, specifically amber, make me yearn for the golden sunkist tan I so love. Hang ten on this one!

This fragrance has been described by a Bond No. 9 Specialist as a fragrance "where country meets the salt-sea mist."

I enjoy the lime blossom, bergamot and amber notes of this fragrance.

I would describe it as an aquatic fragrance with a slight floral undertone.
