While I like this fragrance a lot and the bottle is really cute, the dry down on me smells exactly like Royal Secret II - exactly. Had I paid full price for Chinatown, I'd be very upset right now....

I tried a sample of this a while ago, and when I first sprayed it on, I really liked it. It was sweet, creamy, and had something spicy in it that reminded me of cinnamon. I love how the samples...

Chinatown is a delightfully modern and fun fragrance. it definitely has a hipster sensibility! When first sprayed, it smells to me like one of the old Avon perfumes from the 80's - very retro......

I have been wearing Bond No. 9 Chinatown for about one hour. The first few minutes I smelled primarily a peachy-orange fragrance. It slowly faded into a woodsy, sexy, very very slight...

I just have to say I went to SFA and wanted to smell the Bond No. 9 Parfums and well the two I liked are Chinatown which i got a sample of love, love it. I didn't get a sample of the Andy Warhol...

Has anyone seen that new movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus? Lily Cole, the British supermodel, is in it, and the character she plays (Valentina) looks just like I imagine Chinatown would if...

I love fragrances that take some time for me to "figure out". The SA described this a chypre so I was expecting oakmoss. This doesn't have any. I don't consider this fragrance dark as with a...

I really like this. When I first spray it, I get the peach blossom and gardenia. After it settles a bit, I get this beautiful, warm cardamom/ cinnamon woody incense drydown. I normally am not fond...

It's so nice to be able to wear cozy, incense-y cinnamon without having to deal with a vanilla base. I like spicy gourmands with vanilla at times, don't get me wrong, but I find this fragrance...

I needed a decant of this after sampling it for a week. I immediately fell in love; a delightful combination of incense-steeped silks in Indian shops, Rockets candy (anybody remember these?) and...

This is a HG scent for me now. My nose says it is very much a fall/wintery smell since it a strong spice scent. Smells like incense & I just love love it! Unlike a lot of other Bond No. 9 scents...

WOW, now this is a fragrance you don't smell very often and on anyone else. Chinatown burst onto the scene making a grand impression on me and to me, it smells like a combination of sweet cinnamon...

I crave the smell of this, the juicy plummy aspect, or I should really say I crave the first few hours of this, but I can't handle the dry-down-- and I love chypres, generally speaking. I have...

Sublime candy sweet spicy scent, so feminine and adorable, but has absolutely NO staying power. I can not believe how weak this scent is! It lasts no more than the initial gorgeous 10 minutes, then...

My new favorite scent. I only wish it wasn't so expensive (not so expensive that I won't buy it mind you). I find myself drawn to these types of fragrances, you know the ones people love or hate,...

A friend mailed me a roll on type bottle of this and I am really enjoying wearing it. Its very sweet and exotic. I do detect incense. A one of a kind goody in my opinion.

Chinatown is an absolute masterpiece in perfumery art. There is so much going on with it but doesnt seem to cluttered at all. I detect gingerbread, pumpkin, spices, incense, fruits, and an earthy...

It always amazes me how different perfumes can be on one person to the next--I get no peach and fruit at all. And I normally love incense and darker scents but this one does not work on me at...
