A Disaster for Wall Street

Whilst I love Bond No.9 and their fragrances and how they try to interpret different places creatively, I think Wall street is the most mis-matched and probably the worst fragrance to have come out of the Bond No.9 fragrance range. It just seems to miss the mark on everything for me, aside from its staying power which is excellent, but what is the point of good staying power when the initial fragrance just doesn't do it for you?

The initial hit of Cucumber was a huge surprise for me. It seems so out of place in this fragrance but then the fragrance becomes aquatic and it takes on a salty sort of smell, which borders on smelling like a Sushi Bento Box. All things which I would never have associated with Wall Street. When I walk through Wall Street I smell a Leathery, Smokey and Musky sort of aroma in the air. Wall Street smells of money, it makes money, it loses money and it smells of it. It smells of wealth and it smells of prosperity. Again, all things which the fragrance does not have.

Perhaps if Wall street was under water this fragrance would be perfect, and perhaps people who love very fresh, very aquatic kinds of fragrances will appreciate this, but I don't. It just doesn't smell right. It smells very incomplete and very rushed. The composition is just poor and the overall scent of the fragrance in reference to its inspiration just doesn't line up for me.

I am really on the fence with this one!

First I liked it a lot, a slightly salty ozonic calone aquatic with good projection. Then I got to smell my arm up close where the scent actually reminds me of fishy brine from a can - not something you'd want to smell like. So, in my opinion the trick is probably not to smell yourself up close, but just let it radiate. The notes are a mix of salty seaweed, calone, cucumber, ambergris and musk - quite strange, but somehow intriguing. It has some similarities to Sean John Unforgivable (also composed by David Apel?) and Creed Millesime Imperial, but with less of the orange and fruity notes. It comes off as quite linear wihtout any noticeable changes throughout the drydown.

Like most Bond scents this has great staying power, and is not easily washed off - will have to give thumbs up to Bond for consistency on the longevity of all their scents I've tried and also for naming this Wall Street (as in the geographical area surrounded by East River and Hudson river - not as in smelling like a banker).

Try before you buy.

Love Bond No. 9 Wall Street

There seems to be a split right in the middle with this for some. For me, I love it. First spray the cucumber is extremely prominent, as are some watery accords. 45 minutes or so and some lovely florals emerge, and the vetiver is layered in there nicely. It lasts quite a while on me, and I get compliments. This is strictly a summertime fragrance, and does not wear well in colder weather. One of the ones that gets put away when winter arrives.

The strongest marine scent I’ve experienced so far…

… this is one you have to be careful with when spraying.

When I first got it, I knew it was aquatic/marine, so I sprayed 5 times. That was WAY too much. It’s starts off airy, but gets more density as it dries down.

It felt like Bvlgari Aqva on steroids. Before I got this I thought it was impossible to overspray an aquatic. Boy was I wrong.

I like the scent, but over spraying it made the seaweed unpleasant for the first time ever (for me). When I dialed it back, I enjoyed it a lot more.

I’m very happy I made this grab because I’ve been looking for a marine aquatic, and this one actually gives that authentic seawater vibe.

Great projection, lasting silage, and it lasted over 8 hours on me. I scored 100ml for $170, so I’m smiling BIG time.

Just can’t over spray

More seaweed but the cucumber is interesting.

Personal: 5.5/10 – I really don’t enjoy this one. It’s aquatic, salty, and green in a way that feels both metallic and synthetic. There's freshness, but that's because the cucumber tries to redeem it.
Mass appeal: 6.5/10 – Fresh aquatics are generally safe, but this particular salty-seaweed accord is divisive. Most people will tolerate it, but few will love it.
Performance: 6.5/10 – Decent projection and longevity for an aquatic. Sticks around longer than you might want if you don’t enjoy the DNA.
Value: 3.5/10 – Bond No. 9 prices never feel justified to me unless the scent is stellar, and this one is far from that. It's another salty, green, weird aquatic.
Uniqueness: 6.5/10 – The salty-seaweed marine accord is a bit unusual, but not in a way that makes me want to wear it. More odd than interesting.

SCORE: 57/100

Full bottle buy? NO, absolutely not at this price, and not with this smell.
Blind buy? NO, salty aquatics are a risky blind buy even at designer prices, so sample.
Recommend? NO, there are better marine fragrances out there at a fraction of the price.
Date night? NO, unless your date works at an aquarium. It's not seductive at all.
Office safe? YES, it’s fresh enough, but not enjoyable. The saltiness feels difficult to tolerate.

Pros: Somewhat unique salty aquatic accord, wearable for fans of marine scents, decent performance.
Cons: Overpriced, smells synthetic and too mineralic, divisive salty seaweed note that's a bit TOO oceanic.

Wall Street is interesting. I don't know what the motivation would be to make the capital of global finance smell like salt and seaweed and cucumber, but... so be it. It's not a good aquatic at that either. I would've expected something that smells like men in suits, high end designers, and high fashion. I would've expected something like ADG Profumo or something like Profondo. Something fresh, aquatic, and *very* mass appealing. But no, instead you get photorealistic ocean.

It’s not terrible in theory, but it’s very hard to enjoy in practice because the mineralic edge is just too much.
