Sammarco Bond-T Perfume Review
Sammarco Bond-T Perfume Review
Bond-T was inspired by a visit to a chocolate factory in Pisa of Dutch born chocolate master Paul de Bondt which explains the puzzling name of the perfume. Smelling this perfume with the dry dusty dark chocolate, sweet patchouli and subtle animalic notes makes me curious of this chocolate factory and its special chocolates.
Bond-T is very well balanced as it is never too candy sweet and the dirty animalic notes combined with the chocolate make it interesting and distinctive. It does not smell like you just applied an expensive bonbon on your arm although it is clearly a chocolate centred fragrance.
Bond-T was launched by Italian perfumer Giovanni Sammarco in 2013 and is only sold as an extrait de parfum (pure perfume) It is a very suited fragrance for the cold weather (including snow!) we are having in Amsterdam at the moment.
Bond-T is a rather soothing fragrance which makes you take a step back and stand with both feet on the ground probably due to the grounding patchouli.
I wouldn’t mind a full bottle of this elegant perfume as I really enjoy wearing Bond-T from time to time.
Notes: Cacao, Patchouli, Vanilla, Osmanthus and Tobacco (as of official site) Indie Scents mentions Castoreum as well as a note.

Goodmorning Esperanza,
at the launch of the Sammarco perfumes at Parfumaria in IJsselstein a few years ago I bought a bottle. So I am lucky to have a by Giovanni Sammarco signed box! He launched four perfumes but Bond-T was my favorite at the time. I cannot compare it with any (chocolate )perfume and the longevity and sillage are very very good. Use it sparingly in the beginning;) and take care when wearing something white. Let the perfume dry well before putting on white clothes.
Good luck to the participants.

Love the sound of this fragrance, Esperanza, especially because it’s not too sweet.
