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 a Statement verdict, a fruity-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.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Fall

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
