Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by David Apel. Bleecker Street opens with Blueberry, Violet Leaf, Blackcurrant, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Cedar, Jasmine, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Suede, Amber, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Bond No. 9's Bleecker Street carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one is a divisive but celebrated green-fruity freshie. Some find it a masterful, unique blend perfect for spring, while others dismiss it as synthetic, weak, and wildly overpriced. Many highlight the green, violet leaf, and blueberry notes, with a recurring comparison to certain Creed fragrances.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for casual and sport settings, with some finding it versatile enough for dates. However, its often-reported moderate projection and sillage, combined with its distinct green and blueberry character, make it less ideal for formal events or a quiet office.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Bleecker Street opens with a sharp, verdant burst of violet leaf and a tart, juicy blueberry-redcurrant accord, underpinned by an aromatic whisper of thyme. As it settles, a clean cedar emerges, softened by delicate jasmine and a hint of warming cinnamon. The base dries down to a sophisticated blend of smooth suede, earthy patchouli and oakmoss, with a gourmand twist of caramel and vanilla, adding a creamy, subtly sweet finish.
