Saks 5th Avenue for Her marks the return of the feminine gardenia note, along with a touch of intensive jasmine, seductive tuberose, featuring a gentle warmth of vanilla and vetiver in the base. It is dedicated to the prestige department store Saks, located in the 5th Avenue. The bottle of this perfume is interesting, formed like all the Bond perfumes. It is white and it has DNA motif of letters “N” and “A” from Avenue on it. They are reconstructed from the logo of the department store Saks, which followed them from 1973 to 1999, and of course there is the infallible written logo Bond No. 9. The perfume was introduced in 2007, designed by Michael Almairac and available in 50 and 100 ml.     The nose behind this fragrance is Michel Almairac.

It's a rare day when I can pull off a straight sweet floral fragrance.I love Fracas but that's probably where my floral love ends.If you think Fracas is bombshell strong, this one would probably make you faint.

I'm going to assume that the strange ''medicinal''note others are referring to here, is perhaps the vetiver? Of which I adore!!! Yes I do! Strange is the understatement of the year describing how it's blending with jasmine and gardenia. I'm shocked at how much the vanilla/gardenia combo smells exactly like sweet coconuts, it's almost as if vetiver and coconut are holding hands on a beach somewhere.This fragrance makes me long for a tan and a lover.I do so adore it but I could live without a big bottle.I can only imagine what the notes would do in a hot climate!

Attack of the white floral rabbit!

A lush, dense tuberose/gardenia scent. Very rich and creamy on my skin, but not different enough from other tuberose/gardenia heavy scents to make it worth the price. Still, that being said, it's truly well blended for someone with my chemistry. And Carla is right: the touch of vanilla in the dry down really makes for a lovely ending. The white florals almost always go into mothballs on me and this doesn't, so it gets points just for that. Downside, I don't care for big white florals, and this is most certainly one of those. Would suck on a hot day, though. This is not the scent for humid climates, as lovelylavender so astutely points out.

This reminds me of Beyond Paradise, only withouth the deapth - I only get gardenia. But also without the extreme soapy-ness.

It is really long lasting, even where I got it in my palms. But it is not a strong scent. I put on (accitdentaly) quite a lot, and I still do not "reek". It keeps close to the skin.

I am on a quest to try all the Bond No.9 scents well, this is one I did try on at Saks in NYC and it kept haunting me. I finally made this purchase and am in love with the scent - to me it has a smokey, alluring scent that just lingers and remains beautiful in what seems like forever. It is now one of my current favorites. I would love to have all the Bond fragrance bottles lined up on my perfume counter to admire and enjoy. I have a feeling I could fall in love with the whole line!

This is a fantastic fragrance. I can smell gardenia and very creamy vanilla and coconut. There is an almost medicinal note in the opening, but this medicinal note is really pleasant. In the drydown the creamy vanilla is very present and makes me feel very comfortable. This perfume is sweet and floral and is perfect in the coldness of winter.

This is heavy on the gardenia and smells JUST like Sand & Sable. It's not bad, it's just not special and is way overpriced for something that has a dupe.

*edit* I had my four year old son take a whiff, his reaction: "Smells like medicine."

Skin chemistry is so different - it's just amazing. I got this as a freebie with something else and would never have sought out something that has tuberose and gardenia (both of which are problematic for me) and jasmine (which is sometimes a problem for me). It is SOOOOOO strong even in the vial. All I could think of was rancid acetone (that's nail polish remover). I didn't even try to put it on, but in my haste to recap the sample, I spilled a dot on myself. Some people are "big white floral" people and some are not. I put myself firmly in the NOT category. If you suspect you might not be a "big white floral" person, the abundance of big white flowers in here makes it a must to avoid. One of my worst perfume experiences. I'd be fascinated to smell it on someone like Carla, for whom it obviously is very different.

I get the Gardenia....lots of Gardenia in all its rich, spicy goodness. Reminds me of "Sand and Sable", but a more opulent version. Too heavy for summer, but good for spring! Nice, but not FBW in my opinion.

For me this starts out with something that reminds me of dried rose potpuri. Then it smells like a very sweet 80s suntanlotion. After that it turns into something else that I can't name, but it is like a alien, supersweet, bitter, powdery, medicinal scent. There the developloment stops and I try to bear it as long as I can. After 40 minutes it has become a little softer, but then I can't bear the smell and have to go to wash it of.

Beautiful sweet perfume. The sweetness remind me a little bit of Annick Goutal's Le Chèvrefeuille. One dab, and it goes all day long. It blend nicely on my skin, but not in my hot and humid country.

This one is for a young modern women, wearing a well dressed suit, going to the office on the cold day.

After purchasing this fragrance and wearing it for a few days I must say this is a runaway hit in my book. I'm guessing this is a yellow Italian gardenia because in this blend it is totally mellow, a pleasant surprise because gardenia's are often known to be poignant.The opulant jasmine creates the right amount of sweetness and the vetiver brings it down to an earthy, warm feel with it's evident essence of balsalm and amber. The dry down of the sensuous vanilla make this a notable New York scent worthy of wearing.
