Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive enigma. Some rave about its fresh, fruity sophistication, calling it a summer BR540. Others recoil from a 'plastic' or 'chemical' note, leaving it a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Try it first, then decide if it's your kind of magic or just a headache waiting to happen.
A budget take on Bond No 9 Greenwich Village. Village Charm captures the juicy lychee-and-cassis fruity-floral opening and the sweet praline-vanilla-amber drydown closely - a solid clone - though as reviewers note it gives up some sillage and longevity to the original, lasting around 6-7 hours versus the Bond's all-day wear.
