If you read the Ian Flemming books you will find that Mr. Bond has a custom scent made for him in London. Those are the details I can remember. I'm not sure if the books are more specific about the shop.

This has come up before ... Think he wore bay rum in one book.
In another, he passed on aftershave because he had a "date."

According to British GQ, Ian Fleming wore Floris No. 89 and mentions Floris Limes in Dr. No.

The thread is more "philosophical" than that.
It's to get your imagination going about what this guy (this TYPE OF guy - classic Old World Gent) would wear TODAY.

A toupee.
Vintage No. 89, surely.
Hmm. So if James Bond were real and living in 2020, I would think he'd wear something current and expensive. It seems like he's gravitated toward something English. I don't know much about recent, high-end English fragrances. Maybe TOBS Jermyn Street? That seems a little blah for James Bond, though.

I think he'd be wearing Creed Vetiver or GIT maybe. TOBS are budget fragrances...

I think a modern day Bond, a bit like myself, would be wearing what I am sure we can all agree is the most macho and greatest scent ever created by man. I hardly need name it given that description but in case there is any doubt, I speak of course of vintage Faberge Brut. 
Sorry, you are all wrong. Todays Bond undoubtedly would wear......
I'd like to think that Sandalwood & Bergamot by St. James of London would be in his wardrobe.

Dude, no one's right or wrong... we're having a ball contemplating what he WOULD wear
100% in agreement. Of every scent I own, this is the only one that makes it possible for me to walk out of the surf, on to the beach, and be completely dry.I think a modern day Bond, a bit like myself, would be wearing what I am sure we can all agree is the most macho and greatest scent ever created by man.
