Thinking you might want to get in on some secret spy action? Well, here's your chance. Avon's got a new James Bond-inspired fragrance called Bond Girl 007 ($30). And though smelling the hunky Daniel Craig might not be so bad, you won't have to worry about smelling like the manly 007 himself. This one's just for the ladies.
Produced in conjunction with the release of Quantum of Solace, the 22nd (whoa!) Bond flick, the bottle is shaped like the female form with a grenade-like gizmo for the cap. It's both sweet and sexy, just like the fragrance itself.
Upon initial whiff, there's an intense, pastry-like quality from the peach and orange notes. Jasmine, orchid, and freesia lend a bit of fresh, feminine qualities, while wood, amber, and patchouli round it off for a somewhat musky, deeper base.
All in all, Bond Girl 007 isn't my personal favorite, but it isn't displeasing either. If you're into sweet scents with a hint of warmth, I'd give it a shot. Bang.

I really like this scent
1Ooohhhhh...I really want to smell this. Sounds great!
2This scent is OK. I don't generally like musks anyway. If I was given a choice of only musky scents. This one would probably be it.
3I don't usually like sweet scents so it's not something I'm likely to buy. The packaging is kind of cool, though. Looks like a grenade.
4Aren't Bond girls supposed to be ~*dangerous*~?
5But some smoke and leather in there or something
My boyfriend loves this scent on me.
6I was interested in this but I find Avon scents don't last more than a couple hours. Does anyone know if this one is any different?
7Doesn't sound like my type of scent...I hate anything with patchouli in it.
