Little Italy by Bond No 9

Great orange scent. You can add this fragrance on top of another. It blends quite well.

This one is another Bond No. 9 that was pleasant but nothing special and not quite right on me.

Little Italy opens with one of the truest orange aromas I have ever smelled in a perfume. It's like a fresh, sweet blood orange being peeled in the room right next to you. The effect of the orange fruity note was amazing, but citrus notes are generally fleeting and Little Italy was no exception.

Most scents with prominent orange notes either veer into the "fruit salad and cream" direction or into the "clean citrus and herbal" direction. Little Italy gives way in about 15 minutes to a fairly typical soapy "Clean" type of scent. I loved the opening of Little Italy, but the dry-down "Clean" scent lingered for hours and I don't think I like it well enough to purchase.

I do give Bond No. 9 credit for having good persistence and sillage in all of their scents I have tried, and given their price, I would expect nothing less.

UGH! I really love the initial blast of this, but 5 minutes later it smells like a dog being washed! I'm soooo freakin' mad at that!

Oh the Orange in this zesty Bond No 9 fragrance! The nexus of tangy top notes will send you straight to Cloud 9. Simply stated it's as citrusy as you can get with flashes of jasmine and a base of infinite musk! This would be great to layer with other citrus oriented scents or by itself, this jaunty fragrance works well alone. It's perfect for a stroll along the quaint cobblestone street of Mulberry in New York's own Little Italy, or if your lucky enough to walk on the bridge of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy, you will radiate with pure, fresh citrus scents and Italian sunshine. The brightly colored orange bottle simulating opaque murano glass is as sparkling as the fragrance itself!

Goes on as a bright citrus with a touch of jasmine, but dries down to smell exactly like cheap shampoo on me. Not good,not worth the price and not wearable on my skin chemistry.

This perfume is going to be one of my favorite citrus perfumes! Very remarkable and joyful like sunny Italy. This citrus-floral composition is without any retro nuances, modern but unusual, citruses are so bright, freshly sharp and orange blossom gives all its warmness and sweetness to them. The scent of happiness.

well, i need a kind of perfume that's soft, smells good (odourous), elegant.

I used it for the party (at night) and for daily activity (work in the outdoor and indoor situation).

This is the only scent that bond makes that i do not care for.It smells better after about an hour but it still not worth it.

I like combination of essences in this perfume, too bad cause it don`t last long on my skin. There are joyful citruses in the beginning, with sparkling energetic aromas. In one moment all citrus notes just disappeared, and then just pure and sweet jasmine stayed on my skin. Musk stays longer than first notes and it is very sensual and smooth.

This was one of those fragrances I was not sure about at first. I purchased it for my partner since he leans toward Citrus Notes. The first time I wore this scent, it was too sweet for me. But lately, I enjoy and have come to love this EDP b/c of the grapefruit notes with neroli.
