Lexington Avenue

Beautiful perfume!!! Why the bottle is so ugly and doesn't suit the scent is beyond my comprehension , it was better when it had all the little shoes. Now the black and white is not good as it doesn't suit the creamy spicy sweet scent ! Lexington Ave is basically a spicier version of Chinatown. In fact they are very similar to my nose. If you have and love Chinatown this would be a save blind buy in my opinion. The same sweetness and the same cardamom yet lexington ave is with a touch of "belle opium" by YSL the one in the purple bottle. The creme brûlée is phantastic in here and the anis is incredible eatable ;) this is definitely a gourmand all the way. I also love the almonds. A little more winter than summer! As china town is very feminine and men should stay away from it THiS one is definitely the same feel BUT nice on a man as well. It's very unisex. But a little more on the feminine side as well, in my opinion. And my husband thinks so too.

I love this scent but the bottle is sooo bad! Why did they not try to make it somewhat similar to the old bottle, as they did with Success? I don't understand this bottle. I don't like it at all. I know they were trying to get away from the girly shoes so that men would buy it, but this bottle is now the complete opposite and why would any woman want it? The scent to me is slightly more feminine than masculine anyways, although still very much unisex. Anyways, the scent is amazing. It's creamy and rich, a bit gourmand and yummy, and great sillage and projection. I love the crème brulee note and the slightly manly cypress/woody note. Delicious. I just ordered this, but thank goodness I scored the old bottle! Thank you to the SAs who scoured the country trying to find me one of the last "shoe bottles" in existence! This bottle is just so bad!

This is not a review, but as there seems to be confusion, I just wanted to clarify. This is the same perfume as the Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue with the shoes on it. Bond had a contract with the Andy Warhol Foundation but it expired, thus Bond had to remove Andy Warhol's name and art from all of their bottles, therefore forcing them to change the packaging. This is the same juice as the shoe bottle. All the other Andy Warhol Bond perfumes also had packaging changes with, as far as I know, no change in formulation (I can't be 100% sure of that- it looks like the notes on Success have changed in Fragrantica- but Bond says the scent is the same!). Andy Warhol (the bottle with his face on it) has been discontinued, but the rest carry on with new designs and no Andy Warhol in the name.

This is such a warm, snuggly, feel good scent! I was rearranging my perfume cabinet yesterday and found it in the back...I bought it in the winter and found it SO gourmand and SO sweet, but it was a Bond and those don't exist in my area, so I purchased it from the little perfume shoppe on the corner (off of their clearance shelf no less - not going to let that opportunity pass!) and brought it home to languish with the other rare scents that I *might* wear someday but MUST have in my collection. So in the winter it was a too sweet edible dessert, but now in the heat of summer, with temperatures in the 90s and humidity thick and oppressive, this is a lovely, spiced sugar wafer with a boozy tilt - the star anise? Soft projection and great longevity - 10 hours so far.

It's a YES for me! This is a creamy, softly spicy, mildly sweet, rounded out beauty!! This pops for me in the warmer months, not 100F hot, but warmer - I tried this in the cold and all I got was cinnamon, which isn't even a listed note. But in the warmth, WOW. The cardamom adds a nice earthy spice, the cypress adds a touch of green, the citrus gives a bright and light feel, the almond delivers a nutty tone, the sandalwood leaves me with cream, the orris brings powder, and the patchouli enforces earthy, richness. And yes, I still smell a nice, dry cinnamon; might be the other spices together evoking cinnamon for me. I simply love this, puts me in the same space as the Rebecca Minkoff EDP.
