Bond No.9 Bond No.9's Island edp 1.7ml Sample, Unisex ⚥

Bond No.9's Island eau de parfum (1.7 ml sample) is a 2024 aromatic aquatic EDP for women that layers green freshness with warm spice. It opens bright and minty, then drifts into sea-scented greens, leaving an ambered, woody finish that lasts up to a full workday. The scent reads simultaneously fresh and slightly salty, so you feel polished and breezy all day. Perfect as a daytime signature that also adapts for evening wear when you want a subtle, confident trail.

Imagine stepping onto a small, windswept isle: crisp basil and cool mint meet warm white ginger, like sea air warmed by sunlit sand. The aroma is markedly green, marine, and aromatic, with floral champaca adding a soft, velvety lift. This combination delivers a fresh, modern presence so you stay both approachable and memorable. Designed to perform best in spring and summer, it still works across seasons when you want a clean, wearable edge.
