Bleecker Street Bond No. 9 2005

Actually, I wouldn't have even tried Bleecker Street until today. It was on my radar, but there were a lot of other scents I would have tested before. In addition, the "bad" reviews have deterred me a bit. In the meantime, I've unfortunately gotten into the habit of critically reviewing all fragrances with an overall rating of less than "8" first and putting them further down the list. I don't know if it's the same for you, but because of all the ratings I always unconsciously categorize even unknown fragrances into good or bad. Bleecker Street is the best proof that you should not always rely only on the opinion of others and Parfumo reviews also reflect only part of the truth.

As I said, I myself would probably not have tested the fragrance until today. Me but has a nice Parfumo user a small free sample to a souk order just under a year ago with put.
Since the reviews here are only so mediocre, I did not expect much. But lo and behold, the first spray a direct hit.

Fresh, fruity, a little woody and above all: GREEN!
The individual fragrance notes complement each other wonderfully and the slight sweetness by the currant rounds off the fresh green perfectly. I would not call the fragrance purely natural, very artificial or synthetic, but it is also not. The pungent synthetic note as in some other perfumes does not exist here. The association with freshly cut grass is definitely understandable, but one should not pay too much attention to this description. When I mow my lawn in the spring, it definitely does not smell like Bond No.9's Bleecker Street ;)

As you can already tell from the description, Bleecker Street is perfect for spring. In the summer you can wear it quite also, but for me this Bond No.9 is the prime example of a successful spring fragrance. In addition, it is a very everyday fragrance, which I think you can wear in the office, leisure or sports. In the evening, I would then probably but rather reach for another fragrance.

The durability is also surprisingly good for a fresh fragrance. Of course, you can not set the performance of oriental perfumes as a benchmark, but Bleecker Street also creates it well throughout the day.
Plus, it's pretty "crowd-pleasing." Even if that always sounds a bit stupid, he is liked by many and you can do little wrong. For me also a clear men's fragrance.

I have recently actually bought the 100 ml bottle, because the fragrance for me is simply the spring fragrance par excellence. Whether he is really worth 290 € original price, can certainly be debated, but on relevant sites you can find the 100 ml well and gladly times reduced by 50%.
For this price Bleecker Street is worth it in my opinion in any case and should be tried by everyone who likes fresh and green fragrances.
