Launched in 2013, it’s a woody aromatic with a fresh, fruity twist; a softer, more polite take on pineapple forward scents like Creed Aventus. It opens juicy and invigorating with pineapple, bergamot, and juniper berries for a sweet, fresh punch with a slight herbal edge. It moves into a subtle currant greenness, then dries down to a clean, woody base with cedar, vetiver, and moss/musk. It’s uplifting, sophisticated, and not overpowering. Good projection initially that settles to a pleasant skin scent. On my skin it fades at four hours to subtle while wearing indoors. Classy, modern, versatile everyday quality. Great for spring/summer, office, or casual. It’s masculine but not aggressive. If you enjoy fresh, fruity woody scents with a clean, confident profile you will enjoy this one. It is one of Bond No. 9's better releases, but performance may be an issue. Definitely sample if pineapple and woods appeals.

On a test strip this smelled like floor cleaner, but luckily that's only the first step in the testing process 😄! On skin it has refreshing, bright, ginger, slightly dry citrus, and herbal spices, with light woods anchoring the open. It's very smooth, with no sharpness, and very uplifting. The ginger seems to give it a fizzy quality. The lime becomes noticeable and pokes through in the blend after 30 min. Projection is moderate for the first hour, with a nice 1 ft sillage and scent bubble after that. The composition takes on a slightly bitter note at 2 hrs. Sillage is mild to the 5hr mark, a skin scent afterwards. I sprayed on my arms this morning, and just bummed around the house, which limits the amount of heat and movement that could push the fragrance into some better, and more varied performance. It is fine as is, however, but I'm going to wear this to work this week, and I'll save it for some future recreation time in the heat, to see what else it can do.
