Eden Perfumes No.709 Lafayette Street is a Parfum. No.709 Lafayette Street opens with Floral, Bergamot, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Vanilla, Ambroxan, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Woody, Tonka Bean, and Labdanum. Eden Perfumes's No.709 Lafayette Street carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

No.709 replicates Bond No.9's bergamot-coriander opening and crisp apple-vanilla heart reasonably well, but the tonka-labdanum-woodsy base lacks the velvety richness reviewers praise in the original. Composed and pleasant, just a size smaller than the New York niche it's inspired by.

About

Eden's No.709 is inspired by Bond No.9's Lafayette Street, a unisex fragrance praised for its smooth, potent amber glow and effortless, understated elegance. The dupe opens with a bright bergamot and coriander combination that mirrors the original's crisp citrus-spice entry, moving into a green apple heart softened by ambroxan and vanilla. The base of tonka bean, labdanum and woodsy notes aims for the same rich, velvet-blazer warmth that defines the genuine Bond No.9 release, though it comes across noticeably thinner and less layered - the amber glow that reviewers single out as Lafayette Street's signature doesn't fully materialise here. Longevity is shorter too; where the original is reported to run 7-9 hours or longer, Eden's version settles into a lighter skin scent well before that mark. Even so, the composed, refined mood carries through, making this a workable option for anyone who wants the general shape of Lafayette Street's modern sophistication for office wear or cooler-weather casual days without the niche price.
