Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bleecker Street EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Pure Instinct EDP
This one's a mixed bag. Some reckon it's a solid, affordable blue-fragrance alternative, others find it utterly forgettable and generic. Either way, overspray this beast at your peril - you'll choke out everyone around you and probably give yourself a headache.

Bleecker Street

Seasons

Best For:

Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:

Its fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for casual and sport settings, with some finding it versatile enough for dates. However, its often-reported moderate projection and sillage, combined with its distinct green and blueberry character, make it less ideal for formal events or a quiet office.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
