Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive but celebrated green-fruity freshie. Some find it a masterful, unique blend perfect for spring, while others dismiss it as synthetic, weak, and wildly overpriced. Many highlight the green, violet leaf, and blueberry notes, with a recurring comparison to certain Creed fragrances.
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.
