007 Fragrances launches SEVEN, the next instalment in its collection of male scents inspired by the world of James Bond.

SEVEN draws inspiration from powerful elements within the world of 007 that continually captivate Bond fans. SEVEN is the new premium addition to the 007 Fragrances range. A fragrance with carefully selected ingredients and a bold, sleek appearance.

In the movie Live and Let Die (1973), James Bond (Roger Moore) shaves with a Schick injector razor and Schick shaving cream, in the bathroom of his bungalo (number 12) at The San Moniquan Hotel.

After the successful 007 Fragrances for Men, there is now a new fragrance for the women! Available as Eau De Parfum, Shower Gel, Deodorant and Body Lotion. Bond Girl Caterina Murino (Solange in Casino Royale) is the face of the new fragrance.

In the novel Dr. No, James Bond and Honeychile Rider use Floris Lime bath essence and Guerlain bathcubes to improve their bathing experience. They find the bath essences in their luxurious prison room in Doctor No's lair.

James Bond likes to do certain things the old-fashioned way, including shaving with a 'cut-throat razor' and getting soap from a wooden shaving bowl. In SkyFall (2012) we see Bond using a wooden shaving bowl and brush and razor blade.

A wooden shaving bowl is used to hold shaving soap. With a brush, the soap is then applied to the face before shaving.

OPI released a nailpolish range inspired by the Bond films and SkyFall in particular. The promotional ads and displays for the OPI SkyFall collection feature Bond Girl Bérénice Marlohe (Severine in SkyFall).

The James Bond fragrance for men is available in four versions: Signature, Ocean Royale, Quantum and a Gold Limited Edition.

In the 1964 movie Goldfinger, we get a close look at Bond's shaving gear. He uses a Gillette slim handle adjustable razor when he is shaving in Goldfinger's plane on the way to America. In the handle of the razor he has hidden the tracking device.

Avon, the leading global beauty company, created the Bond Girl 007 fragrance to be associated with the 2008 James Bond film Quantum of Solace, although the product can't be seen in the movie.

Floris No.89 fragrance was a personal favourite of Ian Fleming himself.

James Bond used Pinaud Elixer Shampoo, "...that Prince among shampoos", in the novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Melograno aqua di colonia, by Santa Maria Novella is used by Vesper (Eva Green) in the James Bond film Casino Royale. The composition of the tart taste of pomegranate with an insistent powdery undertone is a Santa Maria Novella classic fragrance. The bottle can be seen when Bond checks the content of Vesper's purse, at the end of the film.

James Bond's razor choice in Die Another Day (2002) is a rechargeable Philips Philishave Sensotec HQ8894 shaver. In North Ameria this shaver is marketed as the Norelco Spectra 8894XL.

Bond uses the shaver in The Rubyeon Royale Hotel in Hong Kong to shave off the beard he has acquired during his 14-month imprisonment in North-Korea.

This feminine scent posesses a blend of: fresh, exotic florals blended with citrus. It is recommended for daytime wear.
