Z25

Z25 is one of Zakat's most-discussed entries and explicitly markets itself as a Bond No.9 Bleecker Street dupe. The opening leans into violet leaf and blueberry, the unusual pairing that gave the original its signature green-fruit character. Cassis adds depth and a quiet thyme gives the first ten minutes an aromatic-herbal lift that keeps the fruit from going syrupy. The heart pulls in cedar, jasmine and a quiet cinnamon, the same warm woody-floral structure the original carries. The transition from the green-blueberry top into the cedar-cinnamon heart is the textbook Bleecker Street move, and Z25 follows it closely. The dry-down is the perfume's most marketed quality: a sweet caramel and vanilla close paired with suede, patchouli, amber and oakmoss. Amazon's listing pulls out violet leaves, blueberry, vanilla and caramel as the headline scent, and the wear is described as Oriental Woody with a fresh and sweet top, floral heart, and warm woody base. A TikTok dedicated to comparing Z25 to Bleecker Street rates the alignment highly. In the dupe-house landscape it sits as one of Zakat's flagship Bond No.9 stand-ins, paired with Z7 (New York Nights) and Z9 (Greenwich Village) as the three Bond-line anchors. Performance is reported in the moderate range across community reviews, with the violet-blueberry-thyme opening reading bright for the first hour before settling into the warm woody close.
