This is a more beautiful version of Thiery Mugler's Angel. It is just one of the sexiest scents I own. I usually don't like sweet scents. But this one is just wonderful. I feel very feminine and confident when I wear it. I always get compliments on this fragrance. Love it.

This is very similar to Angel, although a bit softer and not quite as obtrusive. Overall, I'd call it Angel-LITE. There are just too many similar scents out there like this one, but the bottle sure is pretty!

This smells very similar to Angel but I like it better. The chocolate accord is much more pleasant (Angel's chocolate smells plastic-y). I think this is best as a night time scent because it's very rich.

I've never written a review for any perfume/make-up product before. But I feel compelled. I personally really dislike Angel...so I really don't see the comparison (other than the presence of vanilla). This perfume literally makes me want to smell myself all day long. If you like foody scents (think comptoir sud pacifique) but want to smell more classy and less beachy (hermes/chanel/creed), then this is it. Obviously this isn't going to suit everyone's body chemistry, but I've never gotten this many compliments on a perfume. The staying power is surprisingly good (despite what a lot of reviewers say), so even in NYC's blistering hot summer heat, you can smell it at the end of the day. I used to be a huge fan of Chanel Chance...but now it just smells cheap and common. The bottle is gorgeous, the packaging is amazing, and they keep mailing you samples if you live in NYC.

Yes, the rumours are true - we're dealing with Angel's cousin, but I can tell you the bigger deal - it's Vanille Givree des Antilles's twin!!!!

I had no idea what was in this fragrance when I tried it. It started off with a little bit of citrus (almost like lemon) mixed with a strong but clean floral, and ended up being clean soap and slight leather scent on me. Later, I read the scent description and found it had jasmine and vanilla in it, but this jasmine didn't turn on me like other jasmine scents, but I didn't detect any vanilla scent. It lasted quite a while on my skin (all day). It is a "classy" scent, which means (to me, anyway) that I could imagine wearing this scent with either a power suit, or a evening gown. But, the price of the perfume is ridiculous, so I won't purchase.

This is a seriously sexy scent and has a great staying power! I wore this two days ago out with my husband and got plenty of compliments and could still smell it on me the next day! I know that Bond's fragrances are not the cheapest on the market but most of them are very unique and, in my opinion, are different enough to warrant the price. I've tried most of them in the tester form and this and Gramercy Park are my two most favorite of all time. If you're looking for something unique, well crafted and long-lasting, not to mention fragrances that men actually will like AND comment on when you're wearing them, you can't do much better.

OK, I now think I understand why the average loft price in Noho is a little over a million dollars. If this fragrance is any sort of even remotely accurate reflection of the reality of nights in Noho, clearly they're worth it. A bargain, actually. This is simply stunning. A sumptuously delicious, sexy blend of jasmine, vanilla and a bit of patchouli. Infinitely preferable to Angel to my nose.

I completely understand and agree with the comparisons to Angel, but, to me, Nuits de Noho smells remarkably like Liz Claiborne Spark. I love the smell of Nuits de Noho, but it isn't unique enough to justify the price (to me) and Spark lasts about 80% longer on my skin. Nuits de Noho is a very classy, sophisticated fragance that brings to mind limousines and 5th Avenue suites. Since I'd rather be riding a horse in a bayou, this fragrance doesn't suit my personality.

Reminds me of Angel, but not as powerful. For those who like the scent and live in NYC (or plan to visit), you can purchase by the ounce, making the price a whole lot nicer. But you will also have to buy a bottle for it (plain ones are not cute, but they are comparatively cheap).

I don't like this fragrance. I like my fragrances to have a depth to them and complexity, where every time you catch of whiff of it is seems slightly different. This one is constant. And there are no "whiffs". It is a constant smell that you are breathing the whole time you wear it. I finally place what it reminded me of...Gucci Rush or maybe Envy...I can't remember which is the one I really don't like. Not for me.

I received a sample of this from the lovely heatherlucas, and now this is a new lemming! After reading the notes, I understand why I'm drawn to this: bergamot, vanilla, and patchouli, all of which flatter me so. Sweet, but not foody; simple, yet sophisticated. A lovely fragrance that's appropriate for all occasions.

I don't have much to add...like everyone else, I found this to be a lighter, more tolerable version of Angel (which is one of the fragrances I loathe most in the world). It has a sour, metallic quality on my skin which I attribute to the patchouli. I also get anise, another note I hate. I don't get much vanilla, chocolate, or jasmine at all. I'm still quite perplexed by people describing this (and Angel) as foody and sweet. I suppose it's just my chemistry.

I was in SoHo a few weeks ago and stopped in to Bond No.9. I asked for a scent in a "foody" kind of smell (vanilla, chocolate, etc.) The wonderful sales girl reached for Nuits de Noho. I think it's a lighter version of Angel. And while I did really love it, I opted to purchase So New York instead of Nuits. These Bond No.9 scents are very special (and expensive!) and they have terrific staying power! But (is it me or do others agree?) lately, I've been smelling LOTS of scents that are "lighter" or "more subtle" versions of Angel... and it's getting a little played out IMO.

probably the best bond scent that i've smelled so far. maybe in the same family as angel, but much, much softer--and more feminine. beautiful scent.

Doesn’t smell like Angel to me-- less dark and less foody. There was some orange creamsicle initially which quickly faded. The drydown is kinda ambery and musky-- I'm getting a little patchouli out of the drydown, but there was more earlier. I like it, but it's not something I'm going to buy. Probably I won't keep the sample either. :)

i am normally a die-hard amber and vanilla girl, but this floral concoction from bond is truly lovely. on a lark, i tried some from a sample vial and then went out to dinner with my DH....he kept smelling and telling me how beautiful i smelled, that the scent was intoxicating. the notes in this: primarily i smell jasmine and musk, with a waft of bergamot in the middle/drydown stage. after about an hour, i'm left with jasmine softened by vanilla. truly luscious.

Oh la la! I received this as a Christmas present from my husband. This is a lovely composition of jasmine, vanilla and patchouli that has been likened to Angel. While I can appreciate the reference - this should be classified as a distant cousin. It is heavier than other Bonds but seems better blended than most.

The jasmine is not 'buggy' (sorry Bela) but on my skin is soft and lovely. The floral aspect of this fragrance is present for hours only later to be followed by the vanilla and patchouli which melds with my skin to create a warm sensual blanket. I am in deep infatuation which is quite a shock because I have never been a Bond girl. Since wearing this I have received several compliments!! Go figure - a great scent for my funky chemistry.

I really like this, but like all the Bond No. 9 fragrances that I've tried...I just can't justify the price. Beautiful packaging.

When I tried that scent for the first time I just couldn't believe how beautiful it was! It just blends with my skin perfectly, every day I am loving it more and more! It smells so elegant and sexy at the same time, very unique, like nothing else I've ever tried. I am not a patchouli fan but in this blend with rosewood and bergamot is wonderful. I can smell jasmine and musk, and in the dry down this scent just get's better...
I can see this becoming my no.1 perfume! I have to add that on my skin it doesn't smell like Angel at all.
