I'd never buy one of those cheap drug mart colognes since it's not something that Bond would even wear. Not too mention they smell horrible and do not last more than 30 mins tops.

Even though I don't think it's ever been determined exactly what cologne Bond actually wears, we do know that Fleming himself wore Floris No. 89 and many things that he wore, used or experienced he put into his novels.

So it can be extrapolated barring any definitive proof, that Bond probably would have worn the above mentioned cologne and not some cheap $20 one.

Wrong Sir. I actually had three 007 Original fragrances and one 007 Royale by now (all given to me as gifts by the way ^^) - they smell all right and they are rather from the mid range then low end. Definitely not some cheap crap - Bond would obviously not wear these but he wouldn't also wear 007 branded Omega watches and St. Dupont cufflinks ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The Eu De Toilette is actually not too bad. Definitely a more day time scent then the Tobacco Vanille, which I find to be a tad too "dramatic" for daily wear. It is abit on the strong side though, so one quick squirt is all you'll need. Seems to last quite a while too.

The ones from the link above are on the low end and the ones I was specifically referring to. I'm not familiar with the mid range ones so I can't comment on them.

As for your second statement I agree 100% with you. That's why I would never buy those ones. I'd buy the ones that Bond actually wears and are SA. -{

The ones from the link are on -70% sale. A 30 quid eau de toilette rather classifies as a mid range fragrance -{
