Greenpoint

I probably have ten Bond No 9s and this may be my favorite. An extremely wearable and enjoyable floral-aquatic. The top notes come and go quickly; I get more of a fresh lemony-citrus than pear and really no cardamom. Its middle notes that shine, a beautiful, slightly seaweed forward marine note with a backdrop of mixed florals. This is by far the best blend of marine and florals that I have come accross. The marine notes stay around for the dry down to be blended with musk and maybe a hint of amber. I do not really detect the other notes mentioned in the dry down. I am a lover of marine scents and this has quickly risen towards the top as a kinder version of Black Sea.

Very sweet aquatic green. Cantaloupe, marjoram, pear, and more than a bit of Rabanne-style bubblegum make for a modern yet viscerally pleasing profile. Greenpoint has above average staying power but it's stupid expensive for something that would otherwise be a decent daily driver. I would not be surprised if this had been a rejected prototype for a celebrity fragrance. Which celeb? IDK, but they would be young, inoffensive, and androgynous were such an individual to exist.

I hate when reviews on here are overly persuaded by price over substance but it’s unavoidable here. $470 is ridiculous especially for a bottle this size. That being said, I absolutely love this scent and ran to eBay to buy some sample bottles. The opening is subdued oceanic sweetness but gets sweeter and sweeter as it drys down. It’s truly unisex and could be anyone’s signature spring/summer scent (it would be ridiculous to not be signature scent at that price point).

Dolce Amalfi’s sexy, androgynous slightly older sibling. I have an absolutely obnoxious variety of fragrances and few of them satisfy my dopamine needs. I am half sorry I even looked this up because I don’t want to be negatively influenced by others’ opinions or a breakdown of notes. I am obsessed and want to remain blissfully, madly and ignorantly in love.

It smells good but I want to return it because the performance kinda let me down as goes for all bond no 9... well majority.... Idk , maybe I’ll keep it to macerate and just have it in my collection . But the scent is captivating
