TriBeCa

I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so here's mine... I LOVE THIS. But when people compare perfumes to others, it's no longer a real review, just a simple comparison. Some come here to bash or come to say, "it reminds me of _____" (blank) then say something like I'LL PASS... (Okayyyyy then, BYE)... Or say, it's a flanker, wtf even is a flanker? Or call it a scrubber, seriously? (not a question) Either you LOVE IT OR NOT. Some people actually come here for a REAL REVIEW before buying. As soon as you mention other perfumes they start wondering, so what does that one smell like? I love a good review, ones who say why they don't like it and still appreciate others loving it etc. And actually going in detail with their experience wether they end up loving a perfume or not.. SOME come write their weak TWO sentences review, based off a sample paper. Then compare it to the BASIC perfume that's apparently on everyone's mouth instead of them actually wearing it. I hate to brake it to you, but it's not even all that. It's nice, sure, but not all that (my opinion) TRUST ME. I don't even care that BELINDA, whom I LOVE wears it. I'm here to tell YOU, who is seeking an actual review that this perfume does NOT smell like it, it's not even a baby sister to it. This is very unique, a classy gourmand. It's fresh and creamy, blended to perfection. Luxurious, perfect for COLD weather, a Sugar, Spice, and Everything NICE perfume. This is what AMANDA WOODS (Cameron Diaz) probably smelled like while in Surrey. So good that it made her cry. Haha! No but seriously, it gives HOLIDAY vibes. Drinking wine straight out of the bottle while shopping for groceries in the wintertime. It's Christmas in a bottle, a very sophisticated creamy yet fresh concoction. Real Christmas trees, warm caramel lattes, slightly floral but nothing too in your face. Love love love. I'm here to tell you it's worthy. Beautiful bottle, amazing scent. The opening is delicious BLACK hazelnut coffee, chocolate croissants, followed by warm SPICE and a breathtaking luxurious caramel dry down. The ambroxan really is the cherry on top. 10/10 CHEFS KISS. I say go for it. BISOUS

The more I wear this...the more I love it. This fills a gap for my recently-gifted half-bottle of "BR-540". I don't have anything else to compare it to because thus far in my fragrance journey, only this fragrance and BR-540 smell like this. "Instant Crush" kinda comes close...but not really. That one truly does it's own thing. * *shrug* * I get the same feel as BR540 from this fragrance...but with a stronger sense of the airy component...the Jasmine and Ambroxan. Not getting much of the other notes, but I'm guessing that will come in the drydown much MUCH later. The same parts that make BR540 a standout fragrance exist in this fragrance. I like how this fragrance projects much more than BR540 ever did for me. I'm guessing that the performance longevity will be super long like BR540 as well. I'm never going to get a compliment or comment on the fragrance because of where I work. I no longer have interaction with the public as I once did formerly. EDIT: Ooooh yes, this is a permanent member of the collection. Not as loud as "Instant Crush" but it CRUSHES instant crush on the drydown! I've been wearing this for the past few days layered with "Bianco Latte" and a little "Red Tobacco" and I think I'll stay this way for the next few weeks. I'm going to have to save up and invest in a large bottle of this frag...it's just the perfect combo of everything I like in a fragrance. It's smooth, powerful, aromatic, alluring, lasts FOR-EVER, and it layers PERFECTLY!!! With the way this fragrance is working, I'm guessing this will be a hit year-round (with me). I really REALLY like how this fragrance develops and PERSISTS on me. I can smell it hours after the day is done and I don't have to reapply unless I specifically want to experience the opening salvo of scents. This is going in my "Top-10" fragrances and it's even more special cause it's named after one of my favorite areas back home. Brooklyn Banks, Canal Street, The West Side Highway, Chambers Street, The Twin Towers, The South Street Seaport...home home home. <3 <3 <3

This is one of the best fragrances i have possibly every smelled. I am a male, and I don't know if it's my skin chemistry or what but this fragrance is not "more female" at all. This is perfectly unisex. I first smelled this from my holiday sample pack when I got New york nights from their website. Out of all the samples in the holiday luxe pack, this one stood out as one of the most different from them in my honest opinion. You just get this sublty sweet, nutty fragrance that just blends so well. I barely pick up on the moss and cedarwood smells but they add just a hint of woodiness to it that just completes the whole fragrance. Its beautiful. It's not too strong, yet bery noticeable, its just right. Keep in mind I got this straight off the bondno9 website. Not a "light" or weak fragrance at all and does last for a while to me. Smelled it on my skin for like 11 hours. Had to shower and honestly still smell it just a little bit. I do find the reviews comical though, you see so many comparisons to BR540, (I don't have) yet most of the reviews for tribecca are positive. Then you go to BR540's reviews and they're mostly negative. It makes me wonder if people have even smelled either lol. From what I personally smell, this doesnt have any pineapple smell, or some "weird lotion smell" Again, mostly get a nutty smell with just a hint of sweetness, and right behind that you get just a touch of that woody smell. This is the best way i could describe it. Do not be fooled into it being bad based on a few reviews by people that probably don't even own it and just smell it for yourself.

Tribeca has firmly secured its place in my top 5 fragrances of all time. The opening is a decadent blend of hazelnut and cacao, creating a creamy, nutty gourmand feel that’s instantly captivating. As it develops, the caramel adds a subtle sweetness that feels indulgent but never overpowering, perfectly balanced by an earthy mossy base that gives the scent incredible depth and sophistication. I am honestly surprised there isn't coconut in this! Nevertheless, this isn't just another sweet fragrance; it's layered, textured, and effortlessly chic. While many compare Tribeca to Baccarat Rouge 540, I find them similar only in their smoothness and addictive quality. Tribeca is warmer, more grounded, and, dare I say, more compelling. It’s also often compared to Greenwich Village, which I adore even more than both Tribeca and Baccarat Rouge. Greenwich Village is fresher and more aquatic — imagine Baccarat Rouge and Tribeca had a baby and then added a refreshing water note, transporting you to a sunlit beach in Tahiti. Both scents are brilliant in their own ways, but Tribeca offers a cozy yet sophisticated allure that’s unmatched in my collection. For anyone looking for a fragrance that is both gourmand and refined, Tribeca is worth every penny. Its longevity, complexity, and sheer beauty make it a standout and a must-have for anyone who loves rich, layered scents.

This has been compared to BR540. While they are similar, I am right now smelling them right next to each other on my skin. It's amazing how they don't have the same components but they do smell similar. I would say how you would determine which one you want? Well it's based on what you like. If you are a gourmand lover, go with the Tribeca. The notes are hazelnut and cocoa. You do get the scent that steers toward that. It is creamier and more gourmand smelling. However, if you are maybe let's say a rose / flower lover in your fragrances. Then you should go with the BR540. That is the difference. You do smell the BR leaning more flowery because of the saffron or whatever that basenote is. Again the Tribeca leans more gourmand. I like both of them so I will keep them both. I'm off and on with BR540. I don't know if I go nose blind to it but prior to trying Tribeca I started to get rid of it. For the price I want that baby to do everything I want it too. I have tried heavy spraying of the BR, spraying on skin, on clothes, on top of oil (I only put on fragrances after I bathe), and this puppy just does what it wants to do. I am eager to try the Tribeca tonight for sillage and such. All in all if you like what you like and are a creator of habit you won't mind having fragrances that smell similar. I don't.
