Saks Fifth Avenue Cologne by Bond No?. 9, Saks fifth avenue is a fresh, year-round scent for men. It is an elegant, watery fragrance with a warm, spiciness mixed in. A peppery kick of chili, black pepper and cardamom follows the fresh sicilian bergamot that opens this scent. The spices conjure up a licorice note over a base of cedarwood, amber and guaiac wood, which adds a charming and subtle masculine tone. This interesting fragrance has a depth not usually present in such a light cologne. As?the first wave of smells wears off, you are left with a wonderful piney leather that lasts throughout the day. This wonderful men?s cologne was developed by bond no. 9, an american fragrance company, which derived its name from its location at 9 bond street in noho.
