007 – the new fragrance for men
Skyfall, the latest James Bond movie, was one of the best movies I’ve seen all year. Actually, it was the only film that my whole family loved. The four of us disagree totally about films, so much so that we are in danger of having to make separate trips to the cinema. But Skyfall was different – Daniel Craig was divine, Judi Dench acted her socks off (as per usual) and Ben Whishaw was hilarious as the new and ultra-geeky Q.
With the James Bond film franchise celebrating its 50th anniversary this year it was a smart idea to create the official James Bond fragrance for men. It’s called 007 and seeks to capture all Bond’s spirit, charm and style in one elegant bottle. GQ magazine said that the cologne “eschews hints of Aston Martin leather and martini top notes for a modern take on classic 60s fragrances, with hints of fresh apple, cardamom, sandalwood and vetiver.” Mmmm – sounds heavenly.
The original edition sold out in days when it was released this autumn and now a limited edition golden bottle has gone on sale. The 007 Gold Limited Edition fragrance for men is available nationwide and costs £25 for 50ml. I reckon it’s the perfect Christmas present for 007 fans everywhere…
Mm, this does sound really good, and I’d probably get it for the OH if I hadn’t already bought him something. But there’ll be a birthday soon. Also, note to self: must go and see “Skyfall” en familie – sounds like there’s something for everyone it in, and I love Ben Whishaw.
Do go to Skyfall, Henri. It is such an enjoyable film and Ben Whishaw is particularly fabulous in it!
