Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lafayette Street

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.

Our Verdict - Game of Spades Wildcard

This loud, fresh, floral-woody-vanilla is a divisive beast. Many adore its potent take on the Lafayette Street DNA, offering impressive performance at a fraction of the price. Others find it overwhelmingly synthetic, floral, and headache-inducing. Sample first, but expect compliments if it works for you.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, while a plus for casual and date wear, make it potentially overpowering for an office setting. The sophisticated amber and woody dry down elevate it for some formal occasions, but the fresh floral opening keeps it versatile for day-to-day use outside of sports.
