Which Should You Buy?
Wall Street is a divisive aquatic-forward scent that smells of fresh cucumber, sea salt, and citrus. Its unique blend is either a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many finding the drydown to be unpleasantly 'fishy' or 'wet dog' on skin, but a fresh, crisp, money-like scent on clothes. Don't blind buy.
Eight Blocks recreates Bond No.9's Wall Street - that polarising aromatic-aquatic of cucumber and seaweed over a leathery, musky base. The dupe captures the briny, green opening and the unusual leather-resin drydown, though it loses some of the original's strange depth and runs a touch cleaner. A bold, affordable aquatic for the adventurous.
