Bond No. 9 Gold Coast is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Michel Almairac. Gold Coast opens with Red Apple, Apricot, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Rose and Watermelon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vanilla. Bond No. 9's Gold Coast carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one is a divisive brew. For some, it's a classy, fruity-aquatic dream; for others, a harsh, synthetic nightmare. Definitely sample before you drop serious cash, its resemblance to other popular fragrances makes the price point a sticking one.

About

Gold Coast opens with a zesty, juicy burst of litchi, red apple, and apricot, quickly introducing a fresh, watery essence. The heart blossoms with a clean rose and crisp watermelon, settling into a soft, musky cedar and a whisper of vanilla. It's designed to be a bright, effervescent concoction, but some find its aquatic and ozonic facets lean towards the synthetic, bordering on cleaning solution.
