Bleecker Street

So this one really surprised me. The violet comes through immediately, not powdery, not old‑school, just this smooth, slightly cool floral tone that feels modern. Then the oakmoss slides in and gives it that clean, tailored edge. It ends up smelling like someone who actually irons their shirts but still has a personality. Totally unisex, totally office‑friendly. You could wear it to a board meeting or a coffee run and it would make sense in both places. It has that same Sartorial Nuit quiet confidence energy but the notes take a different path, so it never feels derivative. Projection and longevity are slightly above average. I get at least 4-5 hours of strong projection until it fades to skin scent throughout the day. And the bottle? The colours, the artwork, the whole aesthetic. It pops on a shelf. One of those bottles you don’t hide at the back but you let it sit front‑row because it’s basically a decor.

Am I the only one who smells booze and cigarette smoke? I like the smell, but it is an older smell. It's what I imaging Sean Connery's James Bond would smell like

There's no way of disliking it. It smells like Head & Shoulders shampoo (cool menthol variant, just without the menthol)

anyone get sichuan peppercorn in this?

One of the best masculine green fragrances I have come across! Performance is average, not bad. Pretty hard to recommend for the price, but if you are really into green fragrances, this is a 8.5/10

Finally getting around to writing up my collection, and figured I'd start with one that earns its spot every year — Bleecker Street. This one's a bit of an odd duck in the best way. It opens green and cool, that violet leaf really leading the charge, with a blueberry note that pokes through for the first 15-20 minutes before it politely bows out. After that it settles into a clean green-woody thing with a soft suede underneath that keeps it from feeling like a basic freshie. Yeah, it lives in the same neighborhood as Ralph Lauren Purple Label, but Bleecker has a little more body and better legs on the skin, so I reach for this one. For me it's a locked-in summer scent. It actually breathes when it's hot out instead of collapsing, stays crisp, and never tips into that sticky sweetness. That's exactly what I want when it's 90 degrees and everything else feels like too much. Performance is the sneaky type. It's not a room-filler, but it hums along close to the skin for hours and the people who do catch it always do a little double take trying to place it. Longevity's genuinely impressive for something this fresh and green. Only real knock is the price, which stings for a fragrance this breezy. But it's unique enough that nothing in my rotation really replaces it. Easy 9/10 and a permanent part of the warm-weather lineup.

I like this. I Dot’n know if I want to buy a full bottle but for sure I will get a travel size for now. Late maybe I will get a full bottle remains to be seen.

Fruity. Very clean. Nice soft patchouli. To my nose - I get a cucumber note. Soft projection. Lighter longevity

I blind bought this in the winter and initially did not like it and was filled with regret. I wore it in May as the weather got warmer and it is more pleasant. However the compliments I’ve gotten wearing this are second to none. Women will love you wearing it or will want to wear it for themselves.

This is a strange scent to try and describe but it smells like fresh cut grass and blueberries with some petrol gassy fahrenheit type of feel to it... Its very expensive and to be honest I have many other spring summer scents that I prefer over this one. Not great ..Not bad either but wouldn't seek it out.. its the type of scent you won't wear much because you will always find something else more mass appealing. Score 7/10.

Bleecker Street is a triumph of modern niche perfumery, delivering a masterclass in versatility without sacrificing an ounce of its unique character. It manages to feel deeply sophisticated and artistic while remaining effortlessly wearable and immensely appealing to those around you. It completely bypasses the safe, generic "blue" fragrance trends, offering instead a green, leathery, and subtly gourmand aura that projects absolute refinement, wealth, and contemporary style. For the gentleman seeking a distinguished, multi-faceted signature scent, it remains an essential piece of a curated collection.

Very promising and enjoyable start. A bit of petrol and berry with an aquatic tinge to it. Things go very wrong in like 2 hrs and it pulls the signature Bond special move of falling apart in the drydown. Has that rotten Baccarat base lurking under neath. Whatever that synthetic oakmoss do when when oak and jasmine are present.

Check out Rayhaan JUNGLE Vibe . $30.00 . Thank me later. But. Not all at once.

Good fragrance, but good is about as far as this goes. There's nothing special about this. Smells decent, but it's nowhere near it's price point. The blueberry, cassis, and patchouli give this an almost sweet rubber and leafy smell. I can honestly and easily say aromatix frost bite is a better blueberry fragrance.

I genuinely cannot believe this is a fragrance haha. It is absolutely not for me. I'm going to give it away and see what it smells like on someone else. It smells like caked wet grass on a lawnmower that had gasoline spilled on it. My kids said I smelled terrible too when I asked. Mind you, I like Dior Fahrenheit. I saw people say the gasoline smell was a phase, so I let it settle. The fuel smell did fade a little bit. The dry down was almost enjoyable but was so faint, I couldn't pick any notes out. It smelled like just grass at that point. I was expecting an easy to wear, fresh yet playful fragrance. I almost enjoyed how bad it was if I'm being honest. It was a bit of an experience to see how it panned out. However, it is not for me, and I doubt I will like smelling it on someone else.

My favourite Bond No. 9. A very safe fresh blind buy.

My favorite Bond No. 9 fragrance. It's a woody, fresh aquatic almost mintiness, which I realize isn't an official listed note, but technically neither the blueberry note everyone picks up on. Having never smelled Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Bleecker Street is unique, but is still able to pull off a mass appealing freshness that works in many occasions.

This is one of the most unique easy to wear fragrances I’ve come across. Right away, the blueberry note stands out. It has this sharp, slightly metallic edge that gives it a masculine feel and separates it from typical fruity scents. That sharpness is what makes this work so well. This is the kind of scent you could wear all the time. It is smooth, non offensive, and very easy to like, but still has enough character to stand out. In the Florida heat, this works great for both day and night. Spring and summer are ideal, but it can definitely work on fall days as well. This is best for daytime outings, casual hangs with friends, and relaxed dates where you want to smell good without coming off too strong. Sillage stays more on the personal side, but people around you will notice it. This is a quiet compliment getter. Performance was strong for me at around 7 hours with 6 sprays. This is a crowd pleaser that still feels different. This smells like someone who is easy to be around but still stands out. Rating: 9/10

Such a classical banger. Imagine Creed Aventus structure, but with different ingredients. They are not 1 to 1 at all, its like making a chocolate cake vs vanilla cake, different flavors but same structure. Instead of pineapple it is blueberries/black currant Instead of smoky birch woods it is violet leafs greens and clean ceder. This one also has a clean/soapy heart compared to adventus airyness/ambroxan. Both sit on a mossy woody base, and while Aventus is more musky, this one is more suede-y. One of my favorite spring time fragrances. Definitely recommend especially if you can find it around the $150 mark on discounters.

This is a very nice scent, it reminds me of some Creed for men...like Green Irish Tweed mixed with Dior's Sauvage and then mixed with a delicate fruity note... It is fresh, nice, bright...for handsome men only. I might buy it for my Husband.

The blueberry isn’t a sweet synthetic blueberry it smells like you’re in a field of fresh blueberries picking them so still a blueberry just not overly sweet.. nice freshie great for warm/hot & maybe even fall time I’d give this an 8/10

idk man it’s giving creed GIT or aventus to me on skin, but on clothes the blueberry/green vibe is definitely coming out more

Reminds me of a lighter version of Lorenzo Pazzagllia’s Sex Sea extrait and/or Simone Andreoli’s Ocean Of a Midnight Moon Edp Intense if you’ve tried them. Don’t think on it. Just get them all.

Lots of compliments

I'm STRUGGLING with the earthy oakmoss dry down 😩

I can’t pick up any fruit scent. I get Shower gel a sharp blue profile , dry down into clean laundry scent , Boring

I didn't get the hype at first, but then I started to wear it more and more. I definitely get the hype and enjoy this. It is very punchy that can be strong to some people, but I really enjoy it. If you are looking for your first niche or Bond No 9. fragrance, I'd definingly recommend looking/testing and buying this.

Fresh, fruity, violet leaf, cedarwoody, slightly bittersweet from the cassis and blueberry note with a nice jasmine in the mid, it smells like a luxury hand soap

Well made soft , very slightly creamy citrus.

I bought this bottle when it first came out forever ago and I still love it as much as I loved it back then. 2-3 hours and then I'm sad again. Wish it lasted longer.
