Which Should You Buy?
Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street is a divisive one, hyped by many as a mass-appealing, versatile masterpiece, but dismissed by others as overpriced and utterly generic. It's safe, sure, but whether it smells 'luxurious' or like cheap wet wipes depends entirely on your nose and your budget.
Bond No. 9's Lafayette Street is a smooth apple-and-amber crowd-pleaser, and this oil keeps that juicy apple note front and centre, though the bergamot-coriander opening that gives the original its lift is largely absent.
