Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Bond No.9 West Broadway - a citrus fragrance led by Lime, with musky depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
This one's a proper enigma. Despite the listed notes, the community is convinced West Broadway is an 'incense bomb' with a 'dark side'. It's divisive, captivating some with its spicy-sour intrigue, while others find it a 'linear, antiseptic disappointment'.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The citrus character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its citrus, musky signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Given its moderate sillage and all-day longevity, West Broadway is versatile enough for casual and some date wear. However, its perceived 'incense bomb' quality and unique character might be overpowering for formal events or too distracting for the office. Many reviews suggest it's a 'daytime fragrance' despite its depth, fitting the bill for an elevated casual scent.
