With the list of notes in this scent, and the somewhat rave reviews, I thought I'd like this a lot more than I do. On me, it's all cardamom and woods. I don't detect any of the other notes. If...

Absolutely love this! Had my sample yesterday morning and ordered a full bottle by evening. My daughter sniffed me and said "gingerbread and churches", which i took to mean "spices and incense".It...

Thank goodness I didn't purchase this otherwise I would be so upset with myself for wasting so much money on this perfume. I gave it two lippies for the creativity of the bottle and the uniqueness...

On me, it smells disgustingly sweet. During Chinese New Year's, sometimes we'd get these little pink strawberry candies. Chinatown smells like sweet strawberry candy on me, with perhaps a bit of...

Very well done fragrance...one of the best of Bond. Smells like cherry blossoms over wood to me...nicely blended. It doesn't compel me to own a full bottle but I can see how it is loved.

After so much raving about Chinatown, I was anxious to try it. I got a sample of it in a swap from a lovely MUAer who saw it on my wishlist. I'm very glad I didn't spend any money on this. What...

I am by no means a fragrance guru. I can't tell you what notes I smell or anything of that nature. But I can tell you that the moment I sniffed this perfume, reasoning and common sense flew out the...

This comes close to a holy grail fragrance for me. I had read about it on fragrance forums and loved the sound of the notes, and I was encouraged by the general chorus of approval and the sense...

This is a gorgeous frangrance that somehow comes across as a gourmand on me rather than a floral. Definitely FBW!! Everything is very well blended so that no one particularly note stands out,...

Lately, it seems that I just can't get enough of this fragrance. In addition to the Bond No. 9 fragrance, I also have it in a delicious emulsified sugar scrub and a whipped cream soap and for...

Chinatown is the absolute WORST perfume I have ever used OR smelled on someone else. I bought this perfume based on the hype online and in magazines. I am so disappointed now. It should win an...

I really like a few of the other Bond No. 9 fragrances. I read several rave reviews of Chinatown - and I love floral scents so I bought it. YUCK. It's a huge mess. Smells like the perfumer just...

This was the first Bond I ever tried, thanks to rave reviews at Now Smell This and other sources. I have tried it numerous times now, and it just does nothing for me. It's not bad, it's not good,...

Another winner from Bond No. 9 ! This is a fragrance that is very hard to classify. It really does have it all - somewhat sweet, but at the same spicy. Pristine, but also sexy. How do...

I wanted to try a cardamom scent, so I tested Chinatown. It's really unique. Slightly foody, sweet, and spicy. I wasn't sure at first if this is something I'd want to wear as a perfume, or just...

This fragrance is, to say the least, interesting. I think in the sea of fragrances, it is unique. There is some spiciness to it, yet at the same time, it is floral. On my skin, I don't really...

This perfume is not for the faint of heart. It is not for people who like light skin scents. This has florals in it but it is not a heady floral fragrance - it's heavier and spicier. This IS...
