Bleecker Street Bond No 9 for women and men

Bleecker street opens with a delightful berries note, so fresh, so natural. After a few minutes this fruity aroma mixes with a semi-sweet tone leaving a invigorating impression. A friend of mine pinpointed a interesting comment, he said that this one resambles L'eau D'Issey, and I have to agree, at least the floral notes do remember this Issey Miyake but here they are softer and sweeter.
Sadly this nice opening combination does not persists at full power in the drydown.

In my mind, I'd thought I'd reviewed this and to my own amazement I hadn't. When I read the description of the notes, along with the comparisons on a number of sites, this became a ‘must-try’ experience. The first spray was the big reveal, and what a reveal it was.

Top notes of violet leaf, blueberry and thyme, followed by heart notes of cedar wood, intensely sweet/fruity jasmine and peppery/vanilla cinnamon. The base composed an ending of oakmoss, suede, patchouli, amber and vanilla.

I began with the first scent of Bond at nearly noon. By 9PM, the Bond on my wrist was still going strong, it was truly a powerhouse. It's easy to see how this can become a favorite, and it's a great fallback for me on mornings when I just can't decide what to wear. There are comparisons between Bleecker and Ralph Lauren Purple Label, and sure enough there is some common ground in the top and base notes. The big issue I have with RL Purple Label, however, is lack of projection and staying power -- if you want to buy the cheaper fragrance and apply it every two hours, Purple Label is a decent substitute. If you want a statement scent, spend the extra money on the Bond and you'll not regret it.

In my top three all time favorites. Delicious, I get stopped by men and women asking what I'm wearing.

Bleecker Street is actually not that bad as a fragrance, but at the same time, it's derivative.

For one, to me at least, it's extraordinarily close to Green Irish Tweed, only not as good. BUT, but, but. The apple pie-like note of juniper berries (Paco XS, etc) is prominent here, making this one a bit sweeter and more resinous/oriental than Green Irish Tweed. Otherwise, that smell is quite familiar.

I'd say Bleecker Street acts as a decent Green Irish Tweed alternative for those who would like Green Irish Tweed blended into an oriental. I definitely wouldn't wear Bleecker Street in the summer.

As good as Bleecker Street may be, it doesn't satisfy me enough to get a full bottle, but I'd say it's definitely worth a try. The stuff lasts for ages (like all other Bonds) and the bottle is cool, too.

I test it again, the dry out is horribly perfect! I'm crazy about it! It's too leafy and cool, so soft and light, out of booze and delicious. Highly acceptable and no one denies it for sure!

It's a linear scent which only changes the tone.
It's green, heavy green!
It opens with radiant fruity delicious chilly aromatic and friendly scent. It's one of the softest and purest opening I've ever smelt. Clean fruity and cool with leafy odor in the middle and base. Its middle episode is a little bit near to Comme de Garçons 2 when that is in dry down. But this one is so pure and clean. Presents a sour and yummy pleasant ans sugarless mood in an extremely modern way. This is scent of parks of New York with lots of trees in spring that separates you from the dirt in the air and on the asphalt!
It's one of the "easy to wear"est perfumes. Casual and so chic, it's the smell of a uptown guy, young and happy!
It's perfect for spring mid days in a happy dress and happy spirit.

I am such a sucker for pretty bottles. Bleecker St is no exception. As far as the scent goes, I find Bleecker St to be oddly different from anything I have tried but I kinda like it. The scent doesn't change around much on my skin. From the begining to the end, I get this mixture of fresh fruity vibe with a green woody/fougere scent. Strongest notes would be berries, leaves, cinnamon, cypress, suede, patchouli, and musk. Again, I am not a huge fan of patchouli, but I can tolerate the Bleecker St because of the juicy sweetness in here. It's a little fresh, a little heavy, a little sweet, and it can be potent. It's more for men than women too. Use it carefully because it lasts a looong time.

Remark: I find a bit similarity between this and Montauk somehow with the berries note.

If.......
There is a fragrance in the world that worth mention, that fragrance is Bleecker Street. Do a nasal enema to purge your olfactive system if you think this is not an excellent perfume.

I admire Bond no 9's ambition. They've carved up olfactory space and created entire sets of fragrances to encompass virtually every conceivable piece of the pie or chunk of the sphere--or slice of your wallet. Whatever your nose's desire, they aspire to have your corner covered. Their telos, let us be clear, is total olfactory-global domination. If they happen to create a few masterpieces along the way, well that's just fine, too!

This context explains, perhaps, at least in part, a creation as odd as BLEECKER STREET. There are lots of people shopping for citrus, floral, oriental, modern chypres, even skin scents and shampoo/conditioner frags--and there are indeed Bond no 9s to satisfy all of those needs. But with BLEECKER STREET, an aromatic fougere mislabeled as oriental woody, the people at Bond no 9 appear to be attempting to anticipate the Next Big Thing.

Could it be a thyme-heavy, violet leaf/blueberry (or is it cassis?)-leather frag? "Only the shadow knows." "The sky is the limit." "Think out of the box," and various and sundry other folk wisdoms appear to have erupted around the Bond boardroom strategy table, littered with empty Starbucks cups.

I have never set foot in a Bond no 9 boutique--I scrupulously avoid the stinky, sunless, angst-ridden streets of NYC--but I can guess what the experience is like. The SAs strewn apparently casually about the store, many dressed in black, have been arduously--even operantly--trained to make the big sell to anyone who walks through their doors. They have committed the complete current company flowchart to memory and the "assessment" begins with an innocent query of which perfumes the potential customer/convert currently wears.

BLEECKER STREET may be a hard sell for some, as it smells like nothing else. To others, this will be a virtue, and if the thyme-leather-violet leaf-blueberry (or is it cassis?) complex doesn't quite hit the spot, well, at least the vessel in which it is stored will positively shimmer on one's shelf!

This is just the type of perfume I don't like. I don't smell any of the notes they claim it has, except maybe jasmine. It smells watery, in the way that the ocean can smell repulsive. It is wierd because I like nearly all of the listed ingredients, but this isn't what I am experiencing. Maybe the dry down will improve my experience.

I recently tested Bleecker Street and unfortunately, can not give a good review. IMO a more apt name would be "Bleek" Street, for this is yet another banal and uninspired offering from what for me, is the perpetually disappointing house of Bond.
I'm really perplexed, actually. It seems like Bond has a winning formula; expert noses, a great concept - building perfumes around famous places, and stellar packaging, yet for me, almost all of these frags fall far short. Not only are they NOT full-bottle worthy, but I'm not even interested in finishing off the tiny tester vials, which are cutely (they really are cute) wrapped like little candies only to reveal their not-worth-bothering-with juice.
And moreover, this stuff is very pricey?!
For those who like and wear Bond, I'm glad you enjoy it, but with the exception of a few; China Town, Eau de New York, Lexington Avenue and Silver Factory, you'd have to pay me to wear these frags.

one of the best

I cannot stop smelling myself....I am not a fan of most Bond No 9, but this is amazing.....

Their is no other fragrance like it and the lasting power is very long. Only Korous and Cannabis Santal last longer.

For the price it is well worth it.....You wear it and people ask what it is and when you tell them they look at you funny, but nice to wear something that isnt on everyone.

Try this one if you want to capture the era of the 60's. The initial stage is a feel of green notes and the strength of cassis is apparent, more blackberry than blueberry). The next stage (and it takes awhile to get there) is a pop of cinnamon followed by the richness of cedar probably red cedar because of the aura of incense and the dewiness of the woody tone. The jasmine is ever so slight to my senses. The final stage of amber, suede and patchouli took me back in time to the retro Age of Aquarius, possibly a psychedelic experience? I think this fragrance is definitely unisex so it can be enjoyed by all. Bond No 9 did it again! I got Satisfaction(unlike Mick):) wearing this scent!

Every once in a while you come across a fragrance you fall in love with or in love with yourself when you wear it. This is one of those fragrances (at least for me).
