Gag. Huge gag. I thought somehow that it would be citrusy but it's a disgustingly cloying and sweet yucky perfume. How come the ones you can't abide have such rocketing sillage?????

YUCK!! Reminded me of "old lady" perfume. Def. not for me. I like young, clean, fresh, sweet scents and this was just one of those stuff smelling, overpriced "mature" fragrances. Maybe it was...

Interesting bottle, but that is about it. I know I'm in the minority here but this almost caused me to choke after smelling it. I can't explain my dislike other than to say it felt like I was...

This instantly went entirely to base notes on me. There was occasionally a breath of bergamot, but mostly just Patchouli, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cardamom & Guaiac Wood. Now, I like all...

I am so into these Bond No.9 fragrances. It's like when they get it right, they REALLY get it right. Plus they're not afraid to try something unusual. When I first smelled Chinatown I thought now...

I am truly delighted with this fragrance. I've been wanting to try it for ages, but as there isn't any store that carries this line, I hesitated to buy a bottle. I was in NYC two weeks ago and...

I love Chinatown, but only in small doses. It is incredibly easy to overdose on the perfume. I stand ridiculously far away and put only one quick spray on my chest. More than that, and people can...

I'm giving this 3 lippies for the opening & middle notes which nearly made me convulse with delight at such a gorgeous floral. My problem surfaces in the dry-down where the sweet fragrant headiness...

Ohhhhhh my! I usually stick to a few staples when it comes to my fragrance choices, but I got this as a gift and man am I hooked. FABULOUS fragrance. I get endless compliments whenever I wear it.

After several ho-hum disappointments from the rather overrated Bond No. 9, I think I've finally found one worthy of the hype. Unlike most of the other Bonds, Chinatown is multi-dimensional and...

I just tried my sample of this for the first time. The first hit I got off of it was rather spicy. I couldn't identify what it was, 'til I went back and read the fragrance notes again. On me,...

Amazing fragrance--this is such a unique, intriguing perfume. It actually does remind me of Chinese incense/stores that sell the eastern medicine healing herbs. It has soft oriental/slightly...

Got a sample of this because the notes are all my faves, and I've heard lots of positives about Bond No. 9. I was really hoping to like it because the bottle is to die for, and I figured if this...

This is the only Bond that I have tried so far, after all the hype, I just had to get a decant of it! There isn't anything else remotely like it! It is pretty, and it is weird! And it doesn't...

I like the scent, but I have hestation of the true smell of peach blossom in this bottle. It is very peachy, very fruity and fairly sweet. I couldn't detect the tuberose and my guess was it has...

This is a very nice scent. I won't replace it but I will thouroughly enjoy it while I have it. It starts out just like Stila Creme Bouquet but it dries down to something completely different. It...

Gorgeous, gorgeous scent. Different from what I usually wear, but that's one of the reasons I like it! The peach in it is very prominant to my nose. This, to me, is a very well blended "soft"...

I am a Bond #9 junkie, so I special-ordered this after I read about its launch, but I really can't wear it b/c it gives me a serious headache. In short, it's powdery and musky and incensey and...
