A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Pink pepper ignites immediately, sharp and peppery, whilst raspberry and champagne fizz overhead like a champagne flute catching light. The top notes are simultaneously playful and refined—more aperitif than dessert—with freesia lending an almost waxy freshness before the real composition settles.
Black Baccara rose emerges with dark, slightly peppery warmth, its thorny character grounded by blackberry's jammy depth. The gardenia-oleander pairing softens into a creamy, almost honeyed florality, and here the powdery accord becomes apparent, creating a velvety skin-scent quality that feels intimate rather than projecting.
Vanilla and musk provide a warm, slightly gourmand backbone, but that leather note—subtle, aged, almost like suede—prevents it from dissolving into simple sweetness. The fragrance becomes quieter, more contemplative, clinging close to the skin with a gentle, skin-like finish that suggests mystery rather than announcing itself.
James Bond 007 — for Women II is a fragrance that leads with effervescence before gradually revealing a more sensual underbelly. The opening assault of raspberry and champagne creates an almost sparkling quality—those bright top notes fizz against the skin with the crisp acidity of pink pepper cutting through, preventing the sweetness from cloying. It's genuinely charming in its initial moments, almost champagne-cocktail innocent.
But this is where the fragrance becomes interesting. The heart notes refuse to remain frivolous. Black Baccara rose—that deep, slightly spiced variety—emerges with real presence, anchored by blackberry's tart sophistication. The gardenia and pink oleander provide a lush, creamy florality that softens the fruit without infantilising it, whilst the powdery accord (at 64%) gives the composition a whisper of talc-tinged femininity that feels considered rather than dated.
