Little Italy

by Francis Camail

Bond No. 9 Little Italy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Francis Camail. Little Italy opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Clementine, settles into a heart of Neroli, and dries down to a base of Musk. Bond No. 9's Little Italy carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper marmite fragrance - some reckon it's a photorealistic citrus gelato dream, others are convinced it's a £200 bottle of orange cleaning product or, worse, cilantro. Definitely try before you buy, or you might end up smelling like a hot kitchen or rotten fruit.

Its potent citrus blast makes it a bit too loud for the office and not formal enough. It shines in casual settings and for sport due to its refreshing nature, though some find it too fleeting for long-term wear.

About

Little Italy opens with a vibrant, juicy blast of clementine, mandarin, and grapefruit, so real you can almost taste the zest. This zesty freshness is soon joined by the delicate, slightly bitter floral touch of neroli, adding a touch of sophisticated greenness. It all settles into a soft, clean musk base, carrying hints of that initial sunny citrus through to the drydown. It promises a journey from a fruit stand to a warm, clean embrace.
