Which Should You Buy?
This one is a real head-turner, divisive but magnetic. Love it or hate it, Ishq commands attention with its potent blend of fruit and spice, often drawing comparisons to BR540 but with its own unique, powdery, fruity punch.
Emerald Street is Alexandria UK's dupe of Bond No. 9's Bleecker Street, chasing its tart violet-leaf-and-blueberry opening over an oakmoss-cedar base. The fruity green top note lands close, but the mossy suede drydown that gives the original its polish is thinner and shorter here.
