This September I had the pleasure of being invited to The Barbican to experience the latest James Bond exhibition ‘Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style‘. The exhibition showcased the designs and different styles used over the past 50 years of Bond movies. There were so many accessories on display ranging from Odd Job’s killer steel rimmed hat to Jaw’s actual silver cast teeth.
Whilst at the event I was also introduced to the a new fragrance, none other than 007 essence in a bottle. At first I had my pre-conceived ideas about what this would smell like (notes of sweaty male, dashed with elements of martini) but surprisingly the scent took me by surprise and I liked it! Whilst it is very much a masculine fragrance it has notes of fresh apple, cardamom, sandalwood, vetiver, lavender, coumarin and moss. All packaged in a dark, sexy glass and metal bottle its something that many a man would and should be proud to own.
And now with SKYFALL about to hit our cinema screens, the time is now to stock up on your Bond fix, and even smell a little like the man himself. Hmmm I wonder what these smell like now?
