James Bond 007 for Women III
by Eon Productions
A light, sweet, and tropical fragrance with prominent pineapple, papaya, frangipani, and ylang-ylang. It feels fresh and summery, with a soft, creamy floral texture that lingers close to the skin. While the top notes are juicy and fruity, the drydown reveals warm sandalwood, patchouli, and benzoin, giving it a slight gourmand, resinous depth without overwhelming it. The scent is elegant and easy to wear, often likened to a lighter, more modern take on Lancôme Hypnose. It suits warm weather and evening wear, and while it doesn't project intensely or last long, it remains close and comforting. The purple bottle fits the whimsical yet refined aesthetic, and the fragrance hits well on those seeking a smooth, tropical, wearable scent without volume or chemistry shock.
