One brand?

Despite Trumpers claims otherwise, Eucris EdT wasnt released until well into the second half of the 20th century... The one referenced in the Bond book was a bottle of hair tonic in the baddies bathroom, and whether Bond used it or not isn't ever mentioned. Some claim Bond would have worn Floris No.89 as that was Ian Fleming's smelly of choice, indeed in one of the novels Bond adds some Floris lime bath essence to his bath but nothing more... If we get into the films then the real Bond (Connery, natch) would smell of Jicky (Connery's favourite at the time.)

Did I miss anything? Probably but there's a lot of folklore to remember when it comes to Bond :D

Spies and special ops don't actually wear scents. The lonely guard in the look out tower, cold and hungry will get a whiff of Joop long before the knife is in the back ;)

I did not say there was no lines with some EdT, but I use mainly French EdT (Hermes, Dior, Chanel) which do not offer shaving soap and other shaving products (yet I would not use them, because there is no real need to do so, unless layering because the fragrance/scent is weak).

Hermes and Dior are among the few that do retail shaving products in their ranges.
 
I enjoy mixing it up, but I wouldn't mind a range either unfortunately most ranges leave an item out that make it impossible. AdP and AOS do nice creams but no alcohol lotions. I think the nearest for me would be a Brut day, the cream - available in Brazil, the AS, the Body splash or EDT, the roll on.

Brut - the essence of Man.

If the mission involved seduction I daresay a spritz of Floris No.89 wouldn't go amiss ;) But yes, generally you're quite right of course. I recall reading about how allied soldiers could literally smell when Wehrmacht soldiers were nearby, its still discussed to this very day on veterans forums where they try to figure out what the stench was? Likeliest candidates have been narrowed down to a mixture of Kernseife and Ballistol... If stealth is the name of the game leave the Cologne at home :D

Now when I was delivering Milk Tray instead of stealing top secret documents, a splash of Old Spice was allowed :)...


 
I wouldn't feel very comfortable using the same products/accessories/clothes as James Bond, it would be like an adult cosplaying...

Unless your girlfriend/wife is a top model and you are built like Craig, it's rather pointless, except on Halloween.:D
