#5 - James Bond 007 Fragrance
The James Bond 007 Fragrance, designed by Eon Productions in association with Procter & Gamble has been released in 4 collectible fragrances.
Signature edition
The first edition, released in October 2012, in the black bottle, features notes of apple, cardamom, sandalwood, vetiver, lavender, moss and coumarin that will give you a retro feel.
Bill Brace, vice president of fashion brands for P&G Prestige said: “The aromatic feugere fragrance family came to prominence in the 1960s – it was unmistakably masculine – mossy and ferny. But that was a while ago, so we wanted to move it on and give it a much more modern and sophisticated shell, which is why there’s fresh apple, cardamom, sandalwood and vetiver.”
The 007 logo is embossed on the front of the bottle of the eau de toilette. The 'diamond shaped' pattern on the bottle and packaging looks similar to the pattern of the ST Dupont Diamond Head cufflinks worn by Bond in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.
The black bottles of the Signature 007 Fragrance are still available online at Amazon.
Gold Limited Edition
The 50 year golden anniversary of James Bond films in 2012 was marked with the introduction of a limited edition deluxe golden bottle of 75ml, available at Amazon.
In November 2013, another Limited Edition was released, featuring a golden British flag on the box (see image on the left).
Ocean Royale
In March 2013, a new fragrance called Ocean Royale (blue bottle) was released. Ocean Royale features lime, anise, bergamot, sea breeze accord, iris, teak, tonka bean, coffee, cedar, sandalwood and guaiac wood. It is available as 30, 50 and 75 ml and 125 ml Eau de Toilette with aftershave lotion, shower gel and two types of deodorants.

Let’s see - flowers, bath essence from Floris, air the sheets...") and Dr. No ("There was everything in the bathroom - Floris Lime bath essence for men and Guerlain bathcubes for women."). Floris No.89 fragrance was a personal favourite of Ian Fleming himself.

#7 - On the tracks of 007
All James Bond film locations in one unique travel guide! Dutch 007 connoisseur Martijn Mulder has written a unique field guide to the exotic James Bond filming locations around the world.
Four time Bond director Guy Hamilton contributed a foreword for the book, which is published by DMD Digital. Filled with historical background information, travel directions and location photographs, 'On the tracks of 007' brings you as close to the filming locations as you can get, enabling you to relive your favourite James Bond scenes AND travel the world within the turn of a page.
Together with his co-author, the late Dirk Kloosterboer from Germany, Mulder spent many family holidays researching, finding, mapping out and photographing all the locations ever used in the James Bond films. These - often spectacular - findings were turned into 30 detailed travel stories and for many years formed the heart of one of the longest running Bond related websites on the Net, onthetracksof007.com.
The 288-page book lists all used locations from Dr. No (1962) to Casino Royale (2006) and includes information on the 2008 Bond film Quantum Of Solace.
Additionally, a full listing is included of all hotels ever used in the Bond films.
The Bond 50 Blu-Ray set includes all 22 Bond films on Blu-Ray.
#9 - Bond 50 on Blu-Ray
For the first time available: the Blu-Ray set of 50 years of Bond - all 22 Bond films on Blu-ray neatly packaged into one cool, sleek collectable box-set, 122 hours of bonus material and even an empty space where you add the SkyFall Blu-Ray disc.
Update: In 2014, a new version of the set was released which includes the SkyFall disc, making 23 films in total.
BOND 50 marks the debut of nine James Bond films previously unavailable in high definition Blu-ray.
The BOND 50 collection also provides two all-new pieces that spotlight the history of 007. “The World of Bond” takes a look at the style and attitude that is signature to Bond; pulling together the cars, the women, the villains and the music that have been a staple of these films for the past 50 years. “Being Bond” profiles the six distinguished actors that have had the honor of portraying 007.

Mink Glove

#10 - Mink Glove
A Mink Glove is used by Sean Connery in the movie Thunderball.
After making love to Patricia Fearing (Molly Peters) in the steam room at 'Shrublands', he tries to relax her on the bed, massaging her with the Mink Glove, explaining: Bond: "Mink. It reduces the tensions." Fearing: "Not mine."
Black Mink Gloves, inspired by the James Bond movie, are available at Minkglove.com.
Trivia
- CBS/FOX video version omits the scene immediately after Bond traps Lippe in the sauna, where Bond is massaging Pat with the mink glove.
- A scene where Bond receives a massage from Fearing was shot but not used in the film, and replaced by the scene where Bond gives the massage.
