Andy Warhol Montauk (2010)
by Bond No. 9 For Andy Warhol

Yep, another EDP-strength shampoo/body wash scent from Bond.
To be fair, it smells OK...if you like Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise.
Do yourself a favor and buy Beyond Paradise; it sells for 1/10 the price, and you can wear it without suffocating yoursef and everyone in a 10 foot radius.

Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol Montauk - Initially, one is treated to a tart blueberry note, with a tangy and fresh citrus background from the bergamot, which is tempered by white laurel. A sweet floral wafts lightly beckoning this earthy opening to join its middle. In the heart, bright hyacinth and lightly sweet lily-of-the-valley and honeysuckle form a melange that nicely carries the bush blueberry to the waiting base. The woody base with its sweet driftwood with hints of moldy silver maple and sour red oak makes for a wonderful drydown. Regrettably, the longevity and projection for this interesting composition are poor.

Another sad joke by Bond No.9. A boring and generic fresh woody fragrance sold at high-end prices. It opens with a green and fresh bergamot note to quickly evolve into a woody drydown. Nicely executed but way too similar to countless (cheaper) compositions of the same genre. Otrageous.

Not digging it as much as I usually do from the Andy Warhol-inspired series of Bond scents. I do think this would be more appropriate if it were labeled masculine. Not my fav but I can see how it could be someone else's.

Well I guess I'll be the first to review this, since Col's review is more of a rant.

I'm rather new to Bond fragrances, and thus far, unimpressed. Nothing has really blown my mind, and for the most part I've been disappointed. This one is no exception. I'm looking at the note pyramid and literally scratching my head here.

Basically what I get get is a citrus top, smells a little cheap since the alcohol comes through for the first minute or so. What's cool is you can smell your hand or arm and literally smell it developing before you, it will turn sweeter. I then get the blueberry note along with some sweet florals, but there is no honeysuckle to my nose. The final dry down is basically a linear version of the middle, floral, lightly sweet, and very faint; it goes on like this for up to 8 hours.

It is somewhat unique and very pleasing. It's light, airy but, the blueberry is the note that sticks out and makes it somewhat different. It's tart, floral and very ozonic and overall not very awe inspiring. It's above average but, considering the price it's far from worth the price tag on it.
I don't get any honeysuckle and something about it just seems unfinished. It feels as if it's lacking something overall.
The bottle is really nice and while this starts off really well, the drydown is quite generic. I'm pretty indifferent about it.
