Fragrance -BondNo9.com Bond No 9
Bottle from – 2015
BondNo9.com opens on my skin with a positive,uplifting and fresh citruses with dominant bergamot laying on top of a moderatly sweet and fruity pineapple.
At this point,in the opening,he has some similarities to Aventus by Creed(BondNo9.com is a bit sweeter,more playful, brighter and less smoky) ,but the similarities end there.
As time goes by,during mid development,pineapple becomes stronger with a nice touch of a slightly sweet woody-fruity accord with dominant apple.
This all leads into a mossy,musky,woody,moderatly sweet and fruity base.
Longevity – 8/10(8+hours)
Silage/Projection – 8,5/10(moderate to high projection and silage for the first 2-3 hours,than sits closer to skin for the duration of the scent’s evolution)
Weather -For more or less any time of year.Best in early autumn,spring and summer.I personally wouldn’t wear this on a really cold winter days.
Versatility – 8/10
Age – 19+
Compliments – 8/10
Scent – 8,5/10
Main notes according to me -pineapple,apple,musk,bergamot,juniper berries,cedar.
The drydown is mossy,musky,woody,moderatly sweet and fruity and I get some musk,fruitiness,oakmoss and amber.
Emotions -positive,uplifting,bright,inspiring,energetic.
Occasion -For more or less any ocasion,perfect for casual activities.
Could be a nice signature scent.You’ll get compliments with this one.

I’ve been wearing this stuff every week, for the last 3 years. Still not sick of it. Still my #1.
In a nutshell, i like to call this “Aventus for non-smokers”. The resemblance is uncanny, whether it’s an intentional dupe, a clone, I don’t care. It’s still very much its own thing. The musk in it is amazing and has honestly made me appreciate musks in other fragrances. The woody drydown is also very clean, smells like fresh clean laundry with some of the opening sweet pineapple/apple still hanging on. It’s crisp from start to finish.
Sillage is good at first but fair after a couple hours, longevity is just ok. The overall aroma is so satisfying and addicting to me, I wonder if I’ll ever grow bored of it. I now understand why some people might wear the same fragrance for decades.
10/10, if i wasn’t already clear about that 🙂
Sundy – :
Masterful blend. Finally a fragrance from Bond, that has more masculinity in it that A MAN can wear. Yeh its smells of Aventus, but this pulls its on weight, you can go either or. I am a juniper berry fan. This is the best fragrance of the whole Bond9 line for a MAN. Montauk being the 2nd best. Both of these gets noticed and compliments. Try it or buy it.
fgfff – :
BondNo9.com is an Aventus “clone” and there’s really no point arguing otherwise. lol This may also be the “best” Aventus clone on the market right now too.
BondNo9.com is extremely well formulated, high quality, long lasting, with excellent performance/projection. Definitely a masculine fragrance, but can easily be pulled off by women too. As a woman’s skin chemistry will likely tone down the musk notes.
With that said, BondNo9.com has an effervescent-like scent character, with prominent pineapple notes, and musk notes that are well balanced, and not overwhelming. Ultimately, making BondNo9.com very easy to wear in any situation, and perfect for summer/hot weather wearings — which is Aventus’s shortcoming. BondNo9.com is also what I would call an excellent beach/tropical vacation cologne too.
Definitely get your noise on BondNo9.com if you enjoy Aventus, but can appreciate a different house’s take on Aventus, or if you just enjoy owning various Aventus clones.
Overall: 10/10 — Prefer BondNo9.com over Aventus 🙂
Нинель – :
This is a fragrance for the wearer.
Love it (and don’t care what others think) but doubt I’ll ever get s complement.
Wife doesn’t appreciate it either.
HakBMN – :
I’ve come to know the ‘Aventus thing’ very well due to smelling a billion and one, either deliberate clones or extremely similar, ballpark fragrances and this is undoubtedly one of those. I remember when this was released and people talking about it, I had kinda dismissed it for being a Aventus smellalike and largely that’s what you get. However if you are accustomed with the batch variations and very slight differences within this accord you get that it’s a fruitier opening, certianly than my Aventus, bergamot, Apple, black currant but undoubtedly a pineapple smell. Then there’s the smoky base which is more cedar to me than birch but inherantly has the same qualities of smelling a bit like a fresh, fruity musk fragrance on a man who’s just been for a cigarette and it’s clinging to his clothes. I don’t see how this thing became so popular and there’s a school of nuance on the different vibes within it but needless to say it has, and I’ve become adept at sniffing subtle difference of which there is some. One thing is for sure .com has monster Sillage and longevity, comparable to even the best batches of the Creed. My ramblings do sound a bit negative but they’re not I’m really glad I finally got around to sampling this stuff coz it’s pretty good, I’m just a bit weary of this smell. In fairness this was a relatively early dupe.
snollockasy – :
Good pineapple scent dor spring and summer. They could’ve called this Scent of Peace intense. Similar to Aventus but I wouldn’t call it a clone
ЯРОХА – :
Pine apple blast , yes it nice it’s pleasing but for £200 for 100ml the performance is not up to scratch. Similar yes maybe 50 percent but no way a clone of aventus. Aventus has better projection and longevity for similar cost comparison. The clones , club de nuit or insurrection pure 2 are better personally projection, compliments and longevity. Bond has been disappointing with some of their scents for the price.
kmu889Negeltzex – :
Does have a lot of similarities to Aventus. BBB is right. It does smells a little bit like fruit loops. Other than that is a pleasant scent.
vorm77 – :
Awesome pineapple. Does everything have to be compare to Aventus. I’m tried of hearing about Aventus. Th damn youtube reviewers starting this whole thing that its the king. Anyways.. this creation from Bond no 9 is awesome. Fresh, fruity, awesome price compared to other bonds. Long lasting and a compliment getter. Well worth checking out.
georgekis – :
I currently have a sample of this at home, and yes this is an aventus clone. As a female I do not have aventus on hand but I smell it all too often at work to know that they smell almost identical..to my nose anyway. Its up to you, your nose and skin chemistry to determine which works best for you…oh, and your wallet!
If you’re someone who really likes and wants aventus but can’t afford It (or prefers not to dish out that kind of money), I say go for this, its just as wonderful! So much so as a female I may get this for myself just cause its listed as unisex.
roal6 – :
Powerful fragrance – very strong. Lasts nearly 10 hours on skin and all day on clothing.
Many thanks to Fiona for the free sample!
Aventus similarities?…perhaps but the clean green notes and lack of birch make this decidedly different. Almost like a sparkling mix of Cedrat Boise from Mancera and Aventus having a less fruity offspring.
More herbal while still having non-synthetic fruit notes and playfulness.
Fantastic fragrance FB worthy to me.
xcr230Diobtetty – :
Have a few bonds I enjoy, tried this one yesterday and whilst it’s slightly similar to Aventus it wa too light for my liking, picture a watered down Aventus. Wouldn’t pay for it
pujiks – :
Tried a small decant of this after reading all the comparisons to Aventus. They are in the same family – similar but not nearly identical. This smells a lot more synthetic to me, especially after first sprayed. The apple note is a lot more noticeable here too.
Overall, it’s nice but I don’t think it’s worthy of its price.
djinn4362 – :
Was wondering if this can be sampled in Hawaii.
Travelling there in July for a holiday and was wanting to stock up on a few Bond No.9 (not readily available in Australia,mores the pity)
I like the sound of the pineapple accord and hoping its stronger than Aventus,which doesn’t work well on me.
Maybe Riverside Drive too as it also contains a pineapple note.
Viksi – :
great for casual wear..good quality …similar to Creed Aventus
arochi – :
@JEDI 2.0 you nailed it bro! I also ordered a couple of the directly off bonds website for $8.00 each and wow.. This is actually a little better than aventus in my opinion. Do they share some similarities in notes, yes. This is a great projector as well! I ve gotten more compliments with this than aventus also. I did the spray test one on each hand and this one won. But so did insurrection pure 2 so who knows.
If you guys like aventus you have to try this or you are missing out major!
Scent 10/10
Projection 9/10
Longevity 9/10
This also causes nose blindness so be careful
hollman – :
Finally purchased 3 samples directly from Bond, since I can’t find anyone selling decants. At least not yet.
Absolutely, the scent is similar to Creed Aventus, but let’s be honest… many colognes smell “similar to” other colognes, and whether intentional or not this is a common occurrence with fragrances. Having said that, I find this scent to be like Creed Aventus, but was done with underripe pineapples and too many apples, happily/accidentally.
There’s a greenness,a crispness to it that just has me HOOKED. I absolutely love this and even though I’ve only been wearing it for several hours, I already feel “signature scent” with this one. I love Aventus and almost any aroma that reminds me of it, and this disputably outdoes Aventus.
Unisex? —personally I don’t think so, but this is definitely a scent that will appeal to women. But, on a guy in my opinion. 10/10 for me.
varama – :
Bond No. 9.com is a masterpiece. It is an underrated niche fragrance suitable for any occasion. To date, I have 21 Bond fragrances and Bond 9.com ranks at the top of the list and garners the most compliments. Simply put – it is everything you could ask for in a fragrance – a beautiful scent, great flexibility, unobtrusive in an office environment, huge “Wow Factor”, and a cool design (I love the way Bond 9 bottles fit my hand). Out of the bottle, you get the overwhelming pineapple notes that surround the amber, herbal, and musk notes that make this fragrance one of the best made. It has catapulted into my Top 5. Yes – there are many similarities to Creed’s Aventus, but I find that I get greater longevity and projection/sillage from No. 9.com. Speaking of the “rock star” performance, Bond 9.com lasts at least 8 hours on me (longer on clothing) with projection greater than arm’s length. While a challenge to get your hands on a bottle (ordered mine direct from Bond), I highly recommend adding to your collection. The final tally for Bond No 9.com is 4.9 stars out of 5 stars. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy your day…
kpot87 – :
Of all the Bond fragrances I have owned this is the only one to garner a love from me. This is what Aventus should be! Simular but miles ahead of the yawner that Aventus is to me. This will get you unsolicited positive comments
(if you need them).
armnick – :
i ordered a few samples of this so i have given it a few tries and for most of the first sample, it smelled almost entirely too fruity / single-noted pineapple-y to me and it was just a turn-off. however, after waiting a few days, and re-applying, it smells ENTIRELY different to me. i don’t really like to compare scents per se, unless they smell close to “identical” for the sake of the dollar! (which i have not smelled one that smells “identical” to this, so i will not compare). my notes: a very woodsy (i.e. a DEFINITE cedar) scent with a VERY light citrus swing to it. dry-down = definite oak moss + cedar + juniper berries; a slight bite of the apple. it is a nice wood fragrance; not at all too masculine, although slightly “masculine” leaning; it is not “strong” enough to be off-putting for women, and i do think women could wear this; i would certainly deem this a “unisex” scent. it is almost a sweet cedar fragrance, definitely softened by the bergamot and amber (although i wouldn’t say i could necessarily “pick out” either note, they sort of “lift” the usually “heavy” woodsy scent) and citrus notes (after the initial “pineapple” punch, it doesn’t really seem to smell so pineapple-y to me, it just lends a “citrusy” sweet air to this) with noticeable juniper berry, oak moss, patchouli (as with almost all bond no 9 fragrances!), and again, that slight bite of apple. to me, this is what good wood smells like. like if you were to open a fragrant cedarwood box that just screams “FOREST!!!” and you want to bury your nose in it. it is nice. the only problem is that (on me) it doesn’t last very long and the projection is also fairly weak. i do like it, at any rate. it would make a nice “cozy” scent for the late fall and winter for women, and could be worn almost any time of year by men (actually probably more summery for men; i would imagine this would smell very good on a man, if it smelled the way it does on me! that whole woodsy “bury your nose in it” thing is a definite turn-on for a scent on a guy! a girl? not so much, but it is a nice change of pace, and i do think it could be pulled off fairly easily by strong women.)
*note: it may just be me, but i have noticed that w/my body chemistry, bond no 9. fragrances tend to “smell” better and more full when applied COLD! i let the bottles sit in a chilly room or by the window in the winter and apply straight to my skin. i have also noticed these fragrances, in general, need to be applied, again, DIRECTLY to the skin; i.e., if you spray your left wrist and rub your wrists together, the scent will only last on your left wrist – so spray both wrists, or wherever you want the scent to stay! that could, again, just be my body chemistry, but i have found this to be unique to bond scents.*

BondNo9.com – Amplified Juicy Pineapple.
All those lusting after the fruity holy grail batch of Aventus, please give this one a try.
If the fruity top notes of aventus is all you seek, you shall find it here.
This is quite a linear scent, and right from the word go, it bombs you with its delicious fruity pineapple and apple note. So delicious and fruity but it can get quite sweet and cloying if not worn properly.
I made a mistake of wearing it to office, as I had misjudged its strength and potency. I was like a walking pineapple all throughout the day and it just wasn’t in any mood to let go of me.
Due to its linearity, it can get boring quickly. But those seeking the Z01 /xyz fruity batch (only for the fruity notes ? ) should definitely give this one a try.
Personally, I’m not that impressed. I prefer a little bit more complexity (Oh hi, Aventus!) than what it offers, and the sweet juicy smell becomes a bit too much for me.
One of the better releases from Bond No 9 though.
dubina23 – :
This smells EXACTLY like Insurrection II Pure.
The only difference is quality.
It starts out with the same pineapple as the Z01 batch of Aventus. I think this is Aventus without any smoke at all.
To make your own classic Z01 batch spray one spray of Aventus and two sprays of this!
MegaCat – :
Received the “sample” from Bond No 9. Sprayed a couple of times on my chest. I’m really diggin’ this scent. Asked my fiancé what she thought: “makes me want to eat you!” Those were her exact words. Haven’t really walked around in public with this scent, yet…but I’m willing to bet it will smell great out-and-about. I feel as if I could wear this any time of the year, day, or place.
Thumbs up from me!
Edit: I have realized another reason I love this scent: I am headache free.
What I mean is, sometimes scents have a headache-way about them. Even the ones that I am fond of …. they sometimes cause a headache. I have crappy sinus problems, but this fragrance doesn’t irritate my head at all. Plus, it lasts a nice, long time, too!
7feet – :
This fragrance is very well done! I really do love it, regardless of it’s comparisons to a slew of other well known fragrances. Yes it does have similar traits to Creed Aventus, BN9 Scent of Peace for Him, Reyane Insurrection Pure II and Lomani AB Silver. While I do not care for AB Silver, I do like the remaining three. This is probably the closest direct relative to Aventus. While that might be great, the price tag doesn’t warrant choosing this over Aventus. Find the one that you like best and go with it. If money isn’t an issue, get all of the above (minus AB Silver). You’ll be able to use and love each for different reasons. Happy Hunting!

Familiar scent…new and digital?
Серёга 2700 – :
This is a very classy with a blast of apple and Pineapple. This is my new signature scent. My wife stated that I can only wear this cologne with her because a women stated that I smelled edible when I was at the market. Bond has a hit that rivals Aventus. Its more fruity and when it mixing with your body chemistry the sillage and longevity last 8-12 hours or more.
Update: Man this one is so fresh and so clean with fruity notes. A must for any collector of great colognes. I have received a ton of compliments with this one. I had one lady to follow me in Dillards just because she like my cologne and cole haans. She wanted to know the name of the cologne and where to buy this great scent.
kewtyrj – :
The initial spray reminds me of Tuscany by Aramis. The dry down is mostly juniper, cedar, apple and pineapple. It is a very masculine scent that is softened by the bergamot and amber. I love perfumes with a masculine side for the winer but even this is too much for me. Would be absolutely gorgeous on a man especially in the summer. If you like this scent and have not tried Scent of Peace for Men make sure you try it too!
Zubilo – :
Masterpiece!
This is one of the first bonds I sampled. It is bright, fresh, citrusy, woody and slightly musky. I honesly cannot express how much I LOVE this fragrance.
The juniper and pineapple hit you right away and never seem to totaly dissappear. This opening lasts for almost an hour on my skin and transitions seamlessly to the heart of black currant and cedar. The musky, patchouli base is a great compliment to the symphony that is Bond.com.
When I put this on , I just grin because I know for the rest of the day that myself and everyone around me will enjoy this awesome creation. I get no shrotage of compliments with this. In fact, the very first time I put this on, my best friend exclaimed “JESUS, even I want to f#*! you!”(he’s not very subtle…)
I do not consider this to be a unisex fragrance. Men only. Also, apply lightly. This one is a beast on me. Longevity and sillage are through the roof! Lasts all damn day on my skin, even in cold weather. I can wear this all year around. Not sure why most people concider this a summer scent…
This may not be for everyone(although I have not met anyone who has a single negative thing to say about it, unlike Aventus…)so, as always, try before you buy.
Longevity: Beast Mode!! 14 hours
Projection: 6 feet
Sillage: 6+ hours

Energizing, fresh-tart, cyber citrus
.com is the perfect name for this one!
The overall fragrance is almost electric, that would be the zing to the apple citrus in it, and a great texture that’s rather soft when it’s dried down. Who the hell cares if it’s rumored to bump heads with Aventus, bring your nose down you snoot! Aventus is nice but this a unisex fragrance, so of course it’s gotta have a femininity to it, thus not the same effect as Creeds love child.. Really I think it’s just the apple note that’s similar.
You can buy a sample for 8. bucks but it’s really the size that all Bond samples comes in (the candy-disguised ones) so I can’t say I wasn’t a little disappointed at the size- eh well.
I reccomend trying it because as many as I have tried on, this is a very fun dry-down.
Gmovkf – :
I was so excited when the news came of a bond fragrance that could rival Creed’s aventus. I counted down the days until I was able to order. Then after ordering counted down the days until my package came….when I finally smelled it I realized that all my waiting was in vain. Its not a bad smell but the apple smells to synthetic and nauseating to me. I love bonds but this one was disappointing to me. I’ll stay with my nuits de noho and success.
experking – :
I really like Bond #9 One of my absolute faves is Riverside Drive…yum! And my wife adores Bleeker Street. I really wanted this to be good. But it is, in my opinion, a really cheep smelling Aventus wannabe. It’s almost swampy smelling, with no freshness to be found anywhere — lots of cheep smelling musk. Sorry. Aventus FAR surpasses this concoction. Aventus offers more freshness, substance, nuance, and distinctiveness in both the initial impression and the drydown. Even the musk in Aventus smells high class. So glad I got a sample of Bond#9.com rather than a bottle! Again, as a Bond #9 fan, just sayin’….
kolyany491 – :
Just got a 20ml split. This is nothing like Aventus. The quality is not even close to Creeds. This is sweet n fresh with a hint of musk and amber. Was very excited to try this but first impressions are not great. Perhaps my skin chemistry is causing it to smell rather cheap. Will try it on my clothes and see if that improves things. This is not a bad fragrance but its no great shakes either.
3/5
padesoymnpymn – :
This shit right here is the Aventus killa that I was hoping it would be!Creed bow down to the real perfect batch that you should be making at the cost you charge for that smoke in a bottle you call Aventus!Oh now for my review:clean,fruit vibe I get now that I just sprayed it 1 hour ago and its still rocking out without any hint of smoke.Will edit if anything changes as I will wear it to work tonight and get the full effects of what my co-workers think of it.As a side note the bottle isn’t bad its hip and up to date with the times of which we live.This is not even close to Fresco which I own.So if you think that puting Fresco on here as a similar scent will devalue BOND9.COM then you must not own Fresco which is not a bad sent but doesn’t even hold a candle to this BEAST.4hrs. now still going strong.Just woke up to go to work its been a total of 9 1/2 hrs.and I can still smell it close on skin but damn its like a energizer battery.I will say that there is one great thing about all Creeds that do beat out Bond 9’s and that’s their atomizers.
EDIT.Everytime I wear this to work I get complements on how good I smell.This is my new favorite fragrance.Also I sometimes use Aventus soap and it works great with this I guess because there is no smokiness in the soap at all but it’s a little expensive.
komaroyd – :
I just got in and after a couple hours on my skin; I must say this is a great scent.
There is a little bit of an Aventus vibe but it’s nothing like Aventus; you REALLY smell the apple in it. It somewhat reminds me of Aventus dry down but take out the pineapple and add in bursts of apple with less of a smoke vibe.
I really enjoy this one and was happy it turned out the way it did.
I agree with what GatorNY said; it’s lighter and more fruity than Aventus.
necyAcetibe – :
Opens with a zesty BURST of Bergamot…a real wake up call! Crisp and slightly sweet, but more sharp/bitter than sweet. About 1/2 hour later I get the fruity apple, but not cloying and definitely unisex the whole way. Last night I found the patchouli after about 2 hours and was thrilled because I LOVE patchouli, but today couldn’t find it. Good longevity throughout the day. Worked from 8 until 3 pm, and was aware of the scent all day. This came along right at the right time…hot dog days of summer. Great scent for warm weather. If I had to describe it, I would say it is in the same family as Bleecker, but more warm weather friendly.
I ordered 5 samples on line at their website and they arrived the net day! I know their will be inevitable comparisons to AVENTUS, and the best way I can describe the 2 is that HHTP is lighter and more fruity and AVENTUS is more savory and the woody smokey is much more obvious after about 15 minutes.
otdrrяemontkv – :
But…have you tried it? Don’t write a review, if you haven’t tried the fragrance…it isn’t fair to fragrance lovers who like to know genuine opinions.Sorry..I haven’t tried it, but know there a lot of Bond lovers, and collectors who would like real reviews!
