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.
Bleecker chases Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street's cult fruity-woody signature - bergamot, blackcurrant and warm woody-vanilla - and gets the shape right. It's a simpler, less textured build than the niche original's layered New York character, but the everyday wearability that made Bleecker Street popular translates well.
