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.
No. 673 borrows Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street's green violet leaf and cassis opening reasonably well, but the original's sharp, slightly metallic blueberry edge and earthy oakmoss-patchouli drydown are softened here into a gentler, less distinctive green-fruity blend that reads more generic and doesn't last as long.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The green-fruity blend suits spring and early fall best, feeling a little thin for winter and slightly sharp in peak summer heat.
Occasions
A soft, wearable green scent works well for daily casual wear and office settings, but lacks the presence for formal evenings.
