Greenwich Village

Bond No 9 Greenwich Village EDP opens with a strong projection of sweet, musky, citrus, fruity, floral, and gourmand notes. The opening is intense, projecting, well-balanced, and very pleasant. The mandarin orange contributes with a sweet citrusy touch but its presence is short-lived, it comes and goes very fast. The cassis or black is a dark fruity, musky, with a light animalic touch, a sharpening musky note, that also enhances other notes. The litchi brings a very aromatic fruity touch, with a cherry-like accord. The peony, water lily, and jasmine blend their notes to create a noticeable white floral touch. The ambroxan is there to project and its musky touch blends with the musk note in this fragrance. The combination of the ambroxan and the musk creates an ambery accord, musky without being offensive or animalic, but very projecting with a soft powdery touch. The praline and vanilla are the last notes, a gourmand, sweet, a milky-chocolate-like accord. The only noticeable opening to a dry-down change in this fragrance is, the opening and ephemeral mandarin orange note, that comes up for a brief moment, and the ambery development towards the dry-down, once the ambroxan and musk have settled down. Once Bond No 9 Greenwich Village EDP has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, very sweet gourmand (vanilla, praline), musky (ambroxan, musk), white floral (Peony, Water Lily, Jasmine), and fruity (litchi) fragrance. The fragrance feels bold, candy-sweet, comforting, cozy, delectable, dense, dry, elegant, energizing, exotic, expensive, floral, formal, fragrant, fruity (dark fruits-like), gourmand (milk with a bit of chocolate), high-quality, imposing, intense, inviting, mature, milky, modern, musky (not animalic or dirty, instead ambery with a slight powdery touch), nicely-blended, playful, slightly powdery, resinous, refined, rich, romantic, special, very sweet, syrupy, unique, unisex, versatile, and very pleasant.

It’s so pretty!! I’m shocked by how much I enjoy this, anything in the “fresh” category.. though often something I find to smell lovely, is not something I can imagine myself wearing. This on the other hand, I smell like a queen! It’s so beautiful! In truth I was very put off by the Bond No 9 bottles for a long time, so I kind of just... did not bother ordering decants, because I did not think anything would compel me to put one of these bottles on my shelf (I know some people love them though, and I mean absolutely no shade at any of those people, I am happy for everyone to love what they love and have their own preferences!!). Anywho, this truly is such a light and pretty fragrance. This would be a perfect signature scent for the summer time, as someone who doesn’t care for coconut or feels out of place rocking tropical fragrances in the high desert!! Truly, just so beautiful and feminine. This is absolutely full bottle worthy for me and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!! I am perceiving this fragrance as young/playful but still very ADULT. It’s whimsical! Absolutely whimsical, to me! Oddly, I didn’t detect it on my own but reading the comments, I completely see the BR540 comparison. That’s actually wild! It really is a fruity BR540. I don’t own BR540, though I do enjoy it... I think this is actually more my preference, and is a bit more unique (quite a bit) than BR540!! This is a love, BR540 is a gentle like. Edit: to me, this is extremely shampooey. I know that isn’t for everyone, but I think it’s really wonderful! Arguably more shampooey than the after shower fragrances I hunted down FOR the purpose of being shampooey (Ocean di Gioia, Versace Dylan Purple, Pear Inc.). I love!!

Greenwich Village by Bond No. 9 One of my rich little brothers put me onto this. It actually hurt to ask, but I had to. Bro, what are you wearing. That was the moment. This has been in steady rotation ever since. Not occasional. Weekly. It earns its place every time. It opens bright and slightly sweet with lychee and a crisp citrus sparkle that immediately feels upscale. There is a smooth fruitiness that pulls you in without turning playful or juvenile. As it settles, the praline starts to show, adding a creamy sweetness that gives it body. That is balanced by a soft floral touch and a clean, musky backbone that keeps everything refined. The drydown is where it locks in. Warm amber, smooth woods, and a lingering sweetness that smells expensive without trying to prove it. Notes include lychee, mandarin, peony, praline, amber, musk, and oakmoss. Everything is blended to project luxury in a very effortless way. Performance is serious. This gets into the room before you do and stays after you leave. Twelve plus hours on skin is normal. On clothing it will last for days. I had a woman across the bar ask the bartender to track down who she was smelling. Drinks sent over, needed the name, no hesitation. That is the type of reaction this pulls. This is one of those rare scents that works everywhere. Day, night, casual, dressed up, any season. It carries like a signature without ever feeling locked into one moment. Clean, sweet, musky, and expensive all at once. This is what people think of when they say a fragrance smells like money. Grade: A+ Longevity: A+ Projection: A+ Compliments: A+ Price: $350

I understand why people think that Greenwich Village has something in common with Baccarat Rouge, but I do not think they are, in practical terms, similar fragrances at all. Like Baccarat, Greenwich Village has a synthetic, vaguely medicinal quality, with a musky undercurrent and some form of sweetness in its base, but they are distant cousins, at best. Greenwich Village has none of the woodiness or spices that are present in Baccarat, and it doesn't smell quite so chemical. Baccarat, on the other hand, is not fresh or light, whatsoever. I dislike Baccarat strongly, but I love Greenwich Village. I think it has much closer to a third cousin in the synthetic and medicinal musky family: Burberry Her. Like Her, this fragrance is airy and fruity, but where Her is floral and sweet, Greenwich Village is watery and fresh. Of the three, I think that Greenwich Village is the most interesting. It opens with a very fresh, watery, fruity smell, as if you've just stepped out of the shower. The synthetic aspect is there, but doesn't last. The litchi, water lily, and musk however, are persistent throughout the day and keep things airy and bright; it's playful, clean, flirty. Honestly, sophisticated, but with a sense of humour. The longer it wears on your skin, the sweeter and more intimate the smell becomes. The vanilla and praline start to come out, and it becomes more inviting. By morning, everything but the gourmand notes and the musk have faded, so when you wake up, there's still a phantom presence of Greenwich Village that lingers, but only in the form of these final notes.

UPDATE: What a difference an almost-year makes! I'm grateful for grace, time, and a more sophisticated nose. Greenwich Village is the masterpiece it's been hyped up to be. The Jasmine is really the only thing that's reminiscent of BR540. I love this fragrance so much now I have to wonder what was I was thinking when I wrote that first review. I clearly needed a hug and some time away from the internet! Fortunately I'm an adult who appreciates the ability to be nuanced and evolve, and admit when I err. Because there's nothing underwhelming about GV, nothing weak. I get strong performance, and a beautiful fragrance that always lifts my mood. I also layer it with Tribeca and those two together will literally get you chased down the street. Mea Culpa and please feel free to safely buy this! I saw all the reviews comparing this to BR540 and fully thought that the people were exaggerating. But yeah no yeah. It's giving BR540. I'm disappointed only because I thought I really needed this Bond in my collection and I really didn't. Got a great deal on a 100ml tester from Jomashop so had to push the button on it. But Greenwich Village so far is surprisingly underwhelming. All I'm really picking up is jasmine, musk and ambroxan. Soft, sweet & inoffensive, but even with the deep discount from Jomashop, this is really overpriced for the weak sillage and underwhelming performance and unremarkable scent. We'll see how this shapes up but I'm guessing I'm probably going to just use BR540 rather than reaching for this.

Why is it compared to BR540? They are in no way similar... on a tester strip the first two seconds (no more) there is a similar vibe, but it lasts 2 seconds and on paper. I'm really not a fan of BR540. I find it too sweet and medicinal. It doesn't smell bad, but it's not to my liking. At first On skin, I didn't like the opening of Greenwich, I was scared. The first minute it was pure ambroxan and oakmoss. I was: "What am I done"(I blind bought it). But it last 1 minute and it settle in to fruity, slightly sweet, fresh and tropical perfume. This one is super fresh and fruity, right up my alley. My favorite notes in perfumery are lychee, peony and vanilla. I like my perfumes when they are well balanced between fruity, floral and fresh. This one gives me everything I love. I am very sensitive to ambroxant, but in this perfume it's just balanced enough and very well nuanced. It' a fresh, fruity, slightly aquatic fragrance, with a touch of vanilla praline at the base. It's light, youthfull and airy, perfect for summer. Absolutely beautiful, complex and very féminin. I never blind bought my perfumes, even less at this price, but I did it because I had no way of smelling it and it looked sublime both in the notes and in the reviews. I took a huge risk, which was crowned with success. If you have similar taste as me, you'll probably liking it. Its smells like expensive shampoo One of my all time favorite perfumes

I actually tried this at Saks last week (3/15/19). It seems pretty obvious that this is Bond's answer to Baccarat Rouge. I mentioned that to the sales associate and she tried to convince me that it isn't and that it's "very different on the drydown," but I call shenanigans. I still have my spray card and they are indeed very similar all the way through. I do have to admit, however, that I think I like this better. It's a little brighter, less cotton candy sweet and less of that synthetic ambergris/Ambrox that is like the glitter herpes of fragrances (once it's on your fabric it never comes off). It's not so much of an expensive clone as yet another Bond take on a popular theme, ala Bondno9.com (aventusesque), Chez Bond (GITesque), etc. Also, lol Bond prices! I'm all for paying a little more in store sometimes since you know the item is fresh and you often get a bunch of extra stuff, not to mention personal service, but hell if I'm ever paying two or three hundred dollars more than what their bottles end up costing at discounters. Either way, this and Lafayette street are actually pretty good efforts and worthy of consideration, after adjusting for price. Update: it's been over two weeks now and I can't stop smelling my sample card. If the price for this ever comes down into the realm of mere mortals, it'll probably be on my short list for a full bottle.

Firstly, I am a Bond 9 hater (after owning 3), but this stuff is an underrated gem. I pick up notes of Lychee juice / soju, floral, and musk. It gives off the fuzziness of laundry sheets. GV opens up really fresh and fruity, like a "splash" from opening a lychee fruit, which I find very interesting- also like drinking a nice COLD juice on a hot day. I do want to point out that GV does give the nose blind properties of BR540 for sure. This could be correlated to the mixed performance review. IMO this is what LV Attrape-Reves want to smell like. Listen, im Asian and I eat lychee often and GV smells almost exactly like eating a lychee. Not only that GV replicate the fruit itself, it also replicates the floral notes of the inside of lychee skin, which have been executed perfectly. If you have a basket of lychee sitting in a fruit basket it will give you the floral accord of GV. Performance was what really shocked me. For a "freshie", this performance is on par with the likes of LV Imagination: Longevity: 13h+, dry down to a nice fresh juicy lychee with watery aspects to it. Went to bed and woke up still smelling like it. Sillage: I would say about 3-4 feet radius, very nice scent bubble and none invasive at all which is perfect for a warm temp fragrance. I highly recommend getting a full bottle of this.

This stuff is just plain addictive to me but you really have to enjoy the BR 540 vibe which Greenwich Village most definitely has running throughout, in fact I could smell it straight away from the atomizer when I received my bottle. I would agree it's like a fruity almost tropical twist on BR540 and it's done to perfection here in my opinion. The opening does kind of give me that air freshener vibe, but it does fade and once it settles after a few minutes that dry down is just beautiful and right down the middle unisex. The praline note is present enough to provide some balance and I really like it. Anyone can rock this and I would say it's versatile enough for any weather except the high heat as this does have a fruity cotton candy sweetness going on, but in a clean and relatively fresh way. This is such an attractive and alluring scent and doesn’t smell like much else out there. I get about a good 7-8 hour longevity on my skin and it lasts a whole day on clothes while still giving off a light sillage. Greenwich Village is definitely *not* blind buy safe especially if you're not a big fan of the BR540 scent profile but I absolutely love this and would rank it right alongside Lafayette Street and Scent of Peace for Him as my personal top 3 favorites that I've tried from Bond No. 9 so far.

Because I'm in Canada, Bond No. 9 isn't something that is very accessible here as I have never seen any stores carry the house. I started hearing a lot about this fragrance on social media and Youtube and went on an Alt Fragrances kick last year and had picked up Gables, which is supposed to be a dupe of Greenwich Village. I can tell you right now I do see where they were trying to go with Gables but they are not at all in any way shape or form dupes. Greenwich Village for me starts out smelling like nothing because my nose tends to be anosmic to ambroxan (which breaks my heart because I enjoy the scent so much). After 5 minutes, I start getting the light florals and citrus. I'll get wafts of the BR540 sweetness throughout the day when I'm walking around. The fragrance lasts all day but disappears for me because of how I am with ambroxan. I can still smell it on my clothes the next day so that's how I know it's still there. I would say this has replaced BR540 for me as a signature scent. It is a tad less expensive for me on discount websites and smells more unique than BR540. I'm waiting to get my hands on Tribeca as well. I highly recommend this scent if you want something that is as long lasting as BR540 and is just as light and airy, but with a different vibe as well.

This was one of very few love at first sniffs for me and a huge standout. That is saying a-lot because Im not particularly fond of freshies and I have some real heavy hitters in my quaint collection ✨✨ This is the perfect freshie for those of us who struggle with citrus freshies, like myself. This is a FANTASTIC freshie for gourmand girlies especially. It’s fresh but wealthy smelling, not cheap, with an addictive sweet base, that yes, does have that BR540 spun sugar candy like facet but it’s so much more than that 🍬🍬 All the other notes give it this magical freshness that I just want to smell all the time. The greenness in this is very minimal to my nose, as I also really struggle with green notes/scents. They need to be done incredibly well, and this is definitely the ticket. This scent makes me feel incredible every time I wear it. I wish I could bathe in this. I feel like the world is mine when I wear this. The wealthy girl that always smells good. So so addictive 🍭🍭 I don’t usually like to use the phrase, safe blind buys, but I can’t imagine a world or dimension this could be hated in. My back up bottle will be ordered soon. I never ever want to be without this scent 💚💚💚💚

Greenwich Village by Bond No. 9 and Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP stand as two distinguished fragrances in the realm of luxury scents. While both exude elegance and longevity, they diverge in their scent profiles, with Greenwich Village boasting a more intricate and diverse blend of notes compared to the bold and recognizable combination of saffron, amberwood, and florals in Baccarat Rouge 540. The uniqueness of Greenwich Village may be perceived as an enhancement, providing a memorable olfactory experience that sets it apart. Additionally, some fragrance enthusiasts might favor Greenwich Village for its potential in projection and sillage, creating a more noticeable and lingering scent trail. However, the notion of which fragrance is superior remains subjective, as personal preference and individual body chemistry play integral roles in determining one's olfactory satisfaction. Sampling both allows for a nuanced understanding of their distinct qualities and aids in selecting the fragrance that resonates more profoundly with individual tastes.

This is a bright, tropical, musky escape that's a vibrant, crowd-pleasing stunner. The opening hits with a bold burst of citrus and alcohol that can be a bit harsh at first, but quickly mellows into a tart, zingy sweetness. As it softens, the lychee really starts to shine, giving the fragrance a sweet, juicy, aquatic character. Despite fresh being the main accord, I get more tropical-fruity-musk than purely fresh. The floral notes add depth and roundness, keeping the scent from becoming too linear. Water lily boosts the watery feel of the lychee, while peony lends a soft sweetness and muskiness that lingers on the skin. There’s a breezy, sun-drenched quality here — almost a sunscreen vibe. It brings up images of a bright tropical island getaway: leis, lush florals, exotic fruit platters, and warm winds brushing across your skin. It definitely paints a picture of escape and relaxation. Out of the three Bond No. 9 fragrances I own, this is my favorite. It’s a spring/summer gem that’s easy to wear, easy to enjoy, and hard to dislike.

So I just got this in yesterday(took a major risk and blind bought it) and today is my first time really wearing it for a full day, here are my first impressions. This is clearly leaning feminine, which is totally fine with me because its a beautiful scent and I don't mind wearing a feminine fragrance at all. Remember fellas, if you think you can pull it off, then you're already pulling it off. This is a very expensive fragrance and I would only ever buy it on discount. do not spend 400+ on this, there are places to find it brand new for less than 200. I can really see this becoming a daily driver for me in the spring and summer, its super floral and pretty fresh. I don't get a ton of the sweet praline/vanilla so its not super heavy. I don't pick up on any plastic/metallic things others are saying in their reviews. Definitely try this one before you buy it, especially if you're a man like me. But I definitely think this will end up being one I want to use a ton but will need to find something cheaper to use daily lol

Blind bought this because of the comments here and because I get a kick out of blind buying and getting a banger of a fragrance without smelling it first ...... like winning the lottery, I’m male and have no issue with sweet or feminine leaning frags but when first spraying this I got a very strong floral note which really put me off because was extremely feminine. Was regretful instantly because it was waaaay too feminine for me and unwearable but and there is a but here after about 15-20 mins that strong floral note lightened up and the fruity, sweet, light, airy deliciousness that is Greenwich village started to shine through. Once that heavy floral calmed down it ended up being exactly what I was expecting it to be in my head, a fruity BR 540. It’s a really lovely frag that does lean feminine but any guy who is confident in who they are will have no issue with this one. It’s fantastic for the hot weather and has an addictive quality to it, from a massive disappointment to a blind buy win!!!! Yay for me!!!!

My signature. My first luxe love. This was my first expensive fragrance, and even though I got her on discount (because luxury and savings can coexist), she still felt like a major moment—like I was buying into a version of myself I always knew was coming. From the very first spray, it was true love at first sniff. 💕 The lychee sparkles like champagne bubbles, the floral heart floats like silk, and the soft vanilla-musk base just glows on my skin. She’s bright, fresh, airy—but still so refined and feminine. It’s not loud or basic. It’s not trying to be sexy—it just is. Effortless, uplifting, and unforgettable. I’ve never smelled anything like it, and I don’t want to. It’s the scent that made me realize I didn’t want a collection full of hype—I wanted signature energy. And this? This is that girl. If you love: • Clean, soft luxury • Lychee-forward florals with a musky sweet finish • Fragrances that float, not fight for attention Then welcome to Greenwich Village. You’ve just met your match. 💅

Bond delivers with their fragrances. Probably my favorite house. Their fragrances are genuinely so unique and different. Greenwich is no exception. It's such a light fruity smell, but it's so strong at the same time. It's so beautifully made, along with new york nights and tribecca. Such masterful fragrances. They're such a great escape from all the overly cloying oud and alcohol smells. Nomad unfortunately is one of the ones i deem in the overbearing category, but man a lot of these fragrances are so nice. And virtually none of them are overbearing. This fragrance again, its just so light and fruity, yet so strong and lasts for quite a while. It's an amazing blend and quite honestly one of the best favorite fragrances ive ever smelled. It's so perfectly unisex. I love scents that arent cloying whatsoever, but are still strong, and bond is very capable with that. I highly recommend getting this thing sampled. 9.5/10 easily.

To begin, I’m a male who loves fragrances that are more unisex than masculine and this fragrance is perfect. The fruity, sweet, green notes in Greenwich Village are mesmerizing and sits beautifully on the skin. I believe this scent would be universally appealing to everyone. It’s very inviting, calming, and chill. This isn’t a loud party fragrance. It’s for those who like their zen moments. I feel like it grounds you and brings in those around you. With that being, I feel as if the projection only radiates at arms length. I could be wrong, but I don’t think it lasts long either- I’d say 3-4 hours. Because of this, I believe the price is way too high if you’re buying it at retail price. Consider buying from a discounter and you’re golden. The scent is a 10/10. I just wish I could smell it on my clothes for a longer duration. Perhaps I just go nose blind, but I think it becomes more of a skin scent after a short while.

This is my favorite Bond fragrance. I finally got a full bottle. I didn’t love this on paper but on skin it’s magical! I do get the BR 540 references however this fragrance to my nose stands on its own. To me this is more fruity, sweet, fresh and musky. It’s not a dupe but there are similarities there. To me what stands out is a beautiful cloud of sweet musky fruits, with the freshness of the florals and the sexiness of the vanilla/ praline notes. I don’t have another fragrance like this in my collection I do also have both BR 540 bottles. This is different enough to justify having all of them actually. This scent lasts forever and is one of my favorites for spring and summer but you can definitely use year round. It’s an easy reach fragrance, a head turner and compliment getter for sure. I love it and highly recommend it’s very feminine and sexy to me. Love it!

Holy shit!!! This stuff is amazing!!! seriously I own over 100 fragrances and this literally blows most of them out of the water (obviously in its own category) this scent is indescribable it’s so beautiful. It’s sweet candy-ish but I can’t put my finger on it to describe the notes. I just came home to my package as I was opening it and sprayed it on to my arm to test it (cause I have a habit of blind buying) I hadn’t gotten a whiff of it yet, then I hear my husband say “fuck that’ smells good” at that second I get it too and I’m blown away. I’ve been a big fragrance addict for a while now but recently I’ve become a “perfume snob” where fragrances like this one makes it ok to burn a whole in my wallet, and Im ABSOLUTELY ok with it! If you’re wallet sounds like mine try this, I promise you will love it like I do.

This is a TRUE unisex perfume that smells amazing on men and women, but It is too feminine for me. I do smell some similarities in the Baccarat Rouge 540s, but the dry-down is much better in Greenwich Village. Smells much sweeter than fresh, but still a fantastic scent that I love catching whiffs of throughout the day, as its longevity is great. You could get over 6 hours, and fragrances typically fade fast on my skin. Buy from discounters! I have a friend who typically doesn't say much about my fragrances other than the fact that he can smell them, but as soon as he smelled this, he stopped me to tell me I smelled GOOD! Fastest compliment I've received after spraying Lol. I ended up selling this because I prefer my freshies to not be too sweet and this is just barely too feminine for me now.

This is one of my favorite scents at the moment , I may have a little bias , starting to become a bond no. 9 fan boy , but this smells like fruity shampoo and conditioner in the best way , with a healthy dose of florals to balance the sweetness , it’s sweet and fresh at the same time which makes it a very uplifting scent in my opinion. It has sweetness but you can definitely wear this in the summertime with the citrus uptop. I’m seeing a lot of ppl saying this has a br540 feel and it does as far as the texture and airiness but the smell is different , all in all this is a great fragrance even though I do think it’s a little overpriced, I definitely can’t wait to wear it this spring and summer.

Will never be without this fragrance. I didn't understand the hype when I tried it at the store but I kept thinking about it so eventually bought a bottle. I can't ever get enough of this. I try not to use it too much because I want to use so many of my other lovely scents, but this is an easy reach for me. I get compliments every time I wear this and it leaves a deliciously fresh scent trail. I have the most love for this scent when I haven't worn it for a minute. It's like I fall in love with it all over again. There is nothing else in my collection like GV. To my nose this does not smell like BR540 and I don't get the comparisons. If anything Tribeca from Bond has a slight similarity on first spray only. But that beast is an incredible creation of its own.

Insane price, and more fun and sexy than expensive-smelling. I think it's probably hard to make lychee smell expensive. It does however smell wonderful and lasts for moons. This really does stick around in exactly the same way Baccarat Rouge does and I totally get the comparison. They have a very similar sweet, sticky, musky vibe that hangs around the wearer in a halo. It's the kind of creamy warmth you might get from a melted lollipop on clean laundry. But on top of that, I also get the smell of nights out in resort nightclubs: the sweet smell of millennial men, tropical fruit cocktails and the aroma of hot sun having warmed skin all day long. Incredibly appealing, sweetly unisex and boldly modern. Also shares some DNA with Ford Metallique. Addictive.

This right here is a true masterpiece. I absolutely see the resemblance to BR540 if you catch a whiff of it as someone walks by, but aside from that, they are nothing alike. This is citrus and aquatic in the opening then it dries to this fresh, sweet, airy, spun sugared, citrus dipped in crystalline sugar scent that’s dripping in crystal clear, water. The definition of LICK-ABLE. If you can let this scent macerate for 2-3 months be prepared for an absolute powerhouse of a fragrance. When I first had this it was mild on longevity and projection; it is now one of the strongest fragrances I own. Compliment magnet. My skin eats up fragrance and this is one of them that just projects all day long. Truly a dream and worth every penny.

This has easily become my signature scent - especially in the summer. From the first time I smelt it, I couldn’t get it out of my head for over a year. I initially owned New York Nights, but it didn’t quite work with my skin. Then one day I randomly saw Greenwich Village on sale and picked up a 100ml. Since then, I’ve never received so many compliments or been asked so often what I’m wearing. To me, it’s fresh, slightly sweet, and aquatic. It’s not overbearing or intrusive - rather, it sits softly and invites people in. It lasts for hours and wears beautifully on the skin. The vanilla in the base ties everything together perfectly and gives it that extra warmth it needs.

When I first smelled this perfume I loved it from the bottle--light, airy, floral, ambroxan. On my skin, it took on a plasticky smell and I was really disappointed. A few hours later I smelled my arm again where I had sprayed it and it had completely transformed into the BEST praline base I have ever smelled. Now I am obsessed. I crave it. Even the plasticky note. I just bought a second 5mL decant to test out, but every day I'm closer and closer to shelling out for this gorgeous perfume! Worth smelling if you like the airy chemical sweetness of BR540 but want something with a more gourmand base, give this a try.

This is such a beautiful and airy feminine scent. I do not find it masculine. At the very beginning it reminded me of Baccarat Rouge and I can still see some similarities in these two perfumes. But Greenwich Village is less in your face, lighter and sexier fragrance. I can definitely smell the litchi, cassis and peony, all the notes are blended so well, so beautiful that it has become one of my favourite perfumes. I think it’s great for day and evening, all seasons except maybe winter. The dry down is the same beautiful with one of my favourites ambroxan and musk notes. Love it!

I first wore this on a vacation as a sample that I received from Saks. I walked into a barbecue restaurant with the hickory wood and ribs smelling wonderful. I could smell the fragrance overtop of this, but I did not consider anyone else smelling it being the smoke from the barbecue was powerful. Long story short, everyone else including the ppl working behind the counter could smell this fragrance. I only sprayed this one twice. The scent profile is great, at the time I wore this during the summer, but I would say this could be worn year-round. ~ mAKES Too mUch $cents ~

I have a love/hate relationship with this fragrance. Most times I can BARELY smell this and even when I do, it’s not the fresh, fruity, airy scent I remember smelling when I first got my nose on it in Selfridges. However, a lady chased me down the train platform asking what perfume I was wearing as she could “smell me from far away”. That’s never happened to me before. So clearly some people can smell it. When I ask my friends if they can smell it they say they can’t. I barely wear it these days because I feel like what’s the point in wearing something I can’t smell.

With every scent there’re people who don’t like it. But I genuinely don’t understand what not to like in this one except the price :) It’s so juicy yummy and refined. There’s a ,,Baccarat factor’’ in this one but it’s not similar to Baccarat as Greenwich Village is obviously fruity summer fragrance. It’s in the family and similar to Loewe Solo Ella edT particularly- fruity fresh scent with a Baccarat factor, but Greenwich is more refined and smooth. I found a dupe to Greenwich from an arabic brand Grandeur New York Ave , right now waiting for it to arrive!

Floral , fruity , musky and fresh with some slight lactonic milky vibes to my nose while being aquatic too. The opening with the fruitiness and citrus/cassis pungent feel is amazing to me followed by fresh aquatic florals and a musky finish with hints of amber and vanilla vibes. It is definitely more feminine but I as a a man love wearing it in the spring and summer. Performance is above average and while being expensive it is such a great fragrance that I think the slight overpay is super worth it. One of my favorites.

#7 on my Fragrance Review Journey Yes, this does have the BR540 DNA. Greenwich Village completely ups the game IMO. The blending of the notes make this into an absolute masterpiece of a fragrance. It lasts all day on my skin and I add a few sprays to my clothing. The scent trail brings nothing but compliments... lots of them. I have been stopped several times asking what this is. Having this and Bond No 9 Lafayette Street is a one two punch. This is easily a signature scent, and yes, unisex. Equally enjoyable by all.

There's an irresistible allure that makes it feel sexy and carefree. Awesome blend of sweetness, freshness, subtle earthiness, artistic flair, and sexiness. Goes between masculine and feminine notes, creating a cozy harmony. Undeniably pleasing. Its richness evolves smoothly on the skin. Particularly suited for colder days. Versatile, non-linear, complex profile. Exudes a unique effect that instills a sense of individuality and strength. This fragrance resonates deeply with me, hitting all the right notes.

I love this. It’s fresh, fruity, aquatic and floral. It’s pretty and airy with a musky sweetness and a dark green quality. The projection and longevity are strong, sillage is delicate. People compare this to BR540 and Burberry Her, I don’t think they smell similar really at all, but the way the sillage carries is similar. That airy ambroxan with a fluffy sweetness that disappears and reappears all day long. Gives me strong 90s vibes. Cher from Clueless wears this for sure.

It smells nothing like bacarrat. Perhaps the depth that baccarat has but they’re nowhere near the same. It’s smells wet fruity fresh. The color I get from this is shades of aqua and pink like the bottle funny enough. Very safe to blind buy, it’s extremely likable and inoffensive. It’s feminine and has that signature fragrance appeal because it’s well blended. Great projection lasts a long time. Very pretty. There’s also a shampoo-ie quality to it.

This is another scent that I love it is an unusual sent lychee in this is beautiful. It’s both masculine and feminine. The dry down is very very much exotic. It’s sweet without being candy like.

Fresh, sweet, musky deliciousness. For my gourmand girlies who wanna keep it sweet but not overwhelming in the warmer months—especially summer! This seriously shines in the summer heat. I wore it on one of the hottest, most humid days of the year and it lasted all day. I can see how it carries similarities to br540 and cloud but with a more tropical flair that makes it uniquely its own. Full bottle worthy if it weren’t for the price 😩

I got a sample of this after seeing so much talk around it, and in my opinion this is a basic fragrance done to perfection. It's like a fresh sweet fruity floral and its just so good, like I said its not any kind of ground breaking smell profile its pretty basic but it is done to absolute perfection, while the retail price on this is insane ill definitely pay the 180~ for a full bottle of this on discounters I think its worth it imo

One spray and immediately knew I needed a FB! There was something fresh & seductive about this scent. I don't get the Baccarat 540 reference. After looking up the notes it was further evidence I needed this fragrance because it has litchi in it. I tend to love litchi fragrances..eg Delina, Attrape-Reves, Sparking Lychee... This is not a safe blind buy but if you like the other fragrances I mentioned then you will love this!

Blind bought 100ml of this, and i dont regret it a single bit. This is the most beautiful fresh, floral sweet fragrance i have ever smelt! I absolutely adore this, and would love to wear it every single day, if it wouldnt cost so much... Performance is slightly above average, but nothing extra. If you can get this around the 180-200€ price tag, this is definetely worth a purchase. Retail price... dont even bother 😅 10/10

I absolutely adore this fragrance! It opens with a refreshing burst that instantly lifts my spirits. As it settles, I notice a resemblance to the beloved BR540, but with a lighter touch. The versatility of this scent is remarkable—it seamlessly transitions through every season. In my view, it leans more toward femininity, adding a graceful and elegant aura. For now, it proudly holds the title of my signature scent..

I've had a sample of Greenwich Village for a while, but never really tried it until just today. The only Bond No 9 fragrance that really blew me away was Nomad, and I've already almost used my whole 100 ml bottle that I got last summer. Greenwich Village is like BR540 with a hint of fruit. I love it!!! It's sweet but not too sweet and the woody notes are definitely there. I might have to get a bottle of this too!!!

I tried several Bond No 9 perfumes at the store and this one was my favorite. I love the litchi and jasmine blend that you get in the opening. it then settles into a beautiful white musk that will last Forever on your clothes. Oddly enough when it dries down, some of my coworkers thought I was wearing a men's cologne. A really great combination of clean and sexy with enduring performance.

I went to Harrods expecting to walk out only with Bleecker Street, and fell in love with this along the way. Lychee is my favourite fruit, and this fragrance does it really well. So fruity, sweet, some florals and not so fresh that it dominates as the top type of note. Unisex but leans feminine. I get a good 6-8+ hours on my skin. Sillage sadly dissipates a little after an hour or two

Probably my favorite take on the baccarat rouge type/compared fragrances. The added fruity-freshness and reduction of saffron really does it for me. Greenwich Village > Kajal Lamar > Electimuss Trajan > Baccarat Extrait > Tribeca > Baccarat EDP > Armaf Untold > Cloud is my ranking out of what I've tried. This is definitely worth a try for anyone that loves this scent profile.

I love this I even swapped it just to get a backup bottle. Idk why I love it so much it’s fruity, fresh, musky and to my nose and on my skin is feminine. Summer baccarat maybe? But I think this fragrance stands on its own personally. Either way I love it and I spray it a lot. Great for the warmer weather. Fresh and non irritating. Can easily be a signature scent.

I wear a different fragrance every day, throughout the year at least 100 different ones. I kid you not when I came in to work one day the second I walked in everybody was going crazy and asking me what this was. I’ve had this happen a lot but not to the point where everybody was going crazy over it. This is some good stuff and I’d definitely recommend it.

This is actually a beautiful fragrance and my favourite I’ve tried from this fragrance house. Probably more suited to warm days but I’ve enjoyed wearing this on cold winter days as well. I’m not really a fan of BR540 but I do like this I think it’s way better. Could see me wearing this regularly one of my favourites of this type of dna. I’m a fan

I've gotten many compliments on this fragrance. The first time I smelled it I immediately fell in love and bought it. I wear it to work in the daytime often (office setting) in the spring/summer. It lasts very well. Very sweet. I don't think it smells like Baccarat Rouge 540 at all (I think Bond No 9 Tribeca smells more like that).
