Bond No. 9 Queens is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Laurent Le Guernec. Queens opens with Bergamot, Cardamom, and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Tuberose, Osmanthus, and Champaca, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Benzoin. Bond No. 9's Queens carries an Acquired verdict, a tuberose-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag. Some rave about its unique berry-tuberose combo and exceptional performance, calling it a masterpiece. Others find it generic, overly sweet, or simply 'meh', especially given the price point. Expect grape Kool-Aid and white florals, with wildly inconsistent claims about longevity and sillage.

Its sweetness and potential for strong projection make it less ideal for a professional office setting. However, the sensual floral and fruity accords, along with its 'sexy' and 'captivating' vibe, make it an excellent choice for dates. It leans feminine, fitting well for casual outings or semi-formal events where you want to make a statement.

About

Queens opens with a burst of sweet, juicy blackberry, tempered by a hint of zesty bergamot and the warm, aromatic spice of cardamom. As it settles, a rich floral heart emerges, dominated by creamy tuberose, exotic champaca, and plush osmanthus. The drydown reveals a sensual foundation of smooth sandalwood, deep amber, resinous benzoin, and a soft, lingering musk, offering a warm and inviting finish.
