Bond No. 9 H.O.T. Always is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Bond No. 9's H.O.T. Always carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is Bond No. 9's wild child: a potent, animalic, cinnamon-drenched patchouli beast that's definitely not for the faint of heart. It's divisive but adored by those who dare.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best For:

Also Works:
Formal

With eternal longevity and strong sillage, this isn't an office-friendly scent and is far too intense for sport. Its deep, animalic, and spicy character makes it perfect for dates and evening formal events, though it's too potent for everyday casual wear.

About

H.O.T. Always explodes with a fiery cinnamon blast, swiftly intertwined with bright bergamot, before plunging into a rich, earthy patchouli heart. As it settles, a raw, almost leathery civet note emerges, softened by creamy sandalwood and a hint of Russian leather, creating a complex, dark, and intensely sensual aroma that lingers for ages.
