What Scent Would James Bond Wear?

If you could pick a fragrance that would embody the persona of James Bond, what would it be? If it hasn't been designed, what notes would you include ?

Being a martini man, I wonder if Mr. Bond would appreciate the juniper note in Cerruti 1881? It comes across rather gentlemanly, while still being somewhat of a bastard. If I were to pick something the character could actually have worn, it would have to be something very English, and available in the early 'sixties. Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet fits the bill. As a basenotes reviewer has aptly put it, "Lemon and pepper in a dry martini. Utterly delightful, refined, and sophisticated." That pretty much describes our hero. Oh, and Halston Z-14 for the chase scenes.

Almost any vintage formulation of some vaulted Creed
Other niche houses like Penhaligons, even Hugh Parsons and Knize might qualify as well

Nice work New Haarlem. Did anyone else look at the link to the previous discussion of this same question?
