Wall Street

Wall street conjures up images of Gordon Gekko or Valentino suit clad, 80's twats sniffing cocaine and talking into brick mobile phones with a big rubber breadsticks coming out of the top, in true Patrick Bateman style. Bond No.9 's gimmick of naming the scents after parts of New York city is something I really love about the brand. I've got a real soft spot in my heart for NYC but I don't really associate a bright n breezy aquatic scent with the hustle and bustle world of the financial district. You could argue 'what does a street or neighborhood smell of anyway?' which is a fair point but other than being fairly close to the water I don't get the connection with Wall street here? I'd say wherever you are on Manhattan you're pretty close to water...even slap bang in the middle! Anyway... Words like "Aquatic?", notes like cucumber? This doesn't inspire confidence in me at all. Cucumber is a wonderful juicy, natural, smell but in perfume terms its usually strongly accentuated and curdled with creamy almond, vanilla, tonka or sandlewood etc...which for me make it nauseating. This is different...not accurate smelling but fresh and works really well in the aquatic setting. I do get hints of Sel Marine, similar salty seabreeze with none of the horrible elements or suncream. It's so vaguely salty, perfectly well handled seasoning and could be down to seaweed or less likely (more bizarrely) down to pistachio! More of a cooling, fruity, slightly metallic seaside exotic drink. There's a drier bitter orange note in there for sure and amorphous citrus and obvious vetiver. The base that it dries down too is warm with a puff of light white musk, yet still quite metallic which is fairly anomalous. This is a good one from Bond No.9 then...okay performance, unisex but totally at home on this man and even masculine leaning. To me this is better than the very pleasant Creed Millesime Imperial (Which seems like a worthy comparison)due to being more interesting. Performance is okay and I like the smell a lot...thumbs up for Wall street.

Bond No. 9's "Wall Street" is one of the more recent perfumes I've had the opportunity to test. I can testify that this can be a bit on the challenging and daring side, however, if you're into the notes and accords it possess, it can easily be a signature scent for the right person. The fragrance opens in a very aquatic and marine nature much like the note breakdown suggests. By the end of its lifespan, it has more of a musky and slightly animalic dry down. A dealbreaker for many people seems to be the seaweed and the leather notes which has given a "wet dog" accord. On the other hand, those that enjoy this scent will find it refreshing and slightly daring due to these notes. As others have mentioned, it's similar to Sean John's "Unforgivable" and Creed's "Millésime Imperial", though "Wall Street" is far better when it comes to performance. If you're a fan of those scents then this may be the right perfume for you. As previously memtioned, this fragrance doesn't disappoint. It will easily get you through a work day with moderate projection. Also, this will shine most during the warmer months and can be quite versatile when it comes to occassions. In closing, "Wall Street" can be that easy reach aromatic aquatic fragrance for the Summer as long as you're well aware of what you're getting into. As always, try before you buy. Hopefully, this review and fragrance will be a blessing to you!

this is the most interesting aquatic fragrance i've tried to date. i get the cucumber and lemon right away upon application but they are quickly anchored by the ambergris and the seaweed and its fresh. about 15 minutes in, the top notes settle down and the fragrance becomes very evocative of fresh water (ie, lakes, rivers, definitely not beachy) mixed with skin. its a little dirty in that way, which is impressive given the fresh elements. it gets a little softer in the dry down but doesn't lose its "bite." somehow the fragrance strikes a cohesive balance between elusive and familiar. its edgy and sexy, but naturally so, which makes it extremely appealing. based on the wide range of descriptive reviews, I get the sense that the experience depends a lot on the wearer's chemistry and personal preferences. for me, its longevity is great and the projection is somewhat surprising... i wear bond fragrances a lot and can't ever remember getting the "something here smells really good right now" from co-workers a full 7-8 hours after application. i was actually several feet away from her. i hesitate to say its projection heavy, but I do think its slightly more than moderate. i'm literally in love.

I keep coming back to this one. One of the few Bond fragrances I like. They say you like fragrances because of memories or associations. And yes, I was stripping when this fragrance came out. I have heard from a reliable source that this fragrance was designed to smell like money. And if you smell crumpled up old American bills, this is reminiscent of that. Is it an exact match? No. But is it similar, yes I think so. Of course it's subjective. Stripping in a night club, this scent was introduced to me by an executive. I use to spray it on my ankles and legs, so that when customers would reach up towards the stage, and put money in my socks, they would smell it. (There weren't many other places to tip.) I always found I had "good nights" on days I sprayed $$$. Dazzle the drunks with fragrance. Although I found I had waaay better nights with Coromandel. Spray some of that down low ;) and you'll really get attention. Everyone constantly says "Oh you smell good". Now I have moved on into a somewhat stable career. Those years are gone. But I can still reminisce...

Went from a like to a love❤️ Bond is a wacky house and this fragrance being marketed as a Wall Street fragrance is evidence of that. Had they marketed this correctly I think it would have been much more successful, but I digress. When I first tried this several years ago I wasn't a fan. I tried a 2023 bottle (nobody can solve bond's batch codes) at the boutique today. I'd swear this has been reformulated or perhaps my tastes changed. The seaweed and cucumber has been severely toned down and the tart (borderline sour) lemon and orange has been bumped up. I get these citruses for 2-3 hours now and I really like them. The seaweed does come out later but it's dosed way down, and the salt is still there It's still a little challenging in the late drydown with a bit of musky vibe. But I like it now as a citrus marine with a different approach and dis purchase a bottle. Great projection here as well and solid longevity. Scent 9/10 Performance 8/10 P. S. 7 hours later, it actually does smell like fresh cash from the bank.

Don’t let the notes for cucumber and the votes for value mislead you. Gorgeous scent - one of the first premium perfumes I invested in on my journey turning over the thousand or so through my collection. Whilst I’d always owned a few colognes, sitting on my bathroom shelf since I was a teenager this started my sincere passion about 7 years ago. I came across Fragrantica looking for help finding a better replacement for Ralph Lauren Silver Romance and Sean Jean Unforgivable. The forums here suggested Bond No.9 Riverside Drive for RL and this for SJ. They advise nailed it - it was fortunate that the poster was a succinct experienced nose. For me, whilst the note make up is different and the brinyness is there it is a great replacement. So, replace the smooth sweet champagne accord with piquant pepper with seaweed and cucumber to get the fresh bite that stops the brininess from getting carried away and making this a distinctly clear aquatic and there you have it. A longer lasting scent with a stronger balloon.

Fabulous... for me, such a warm weather scent. It seems to envelope you, which can be difficult for most summer scents, as they lack the creamy, the sweet, dark, and sensual... Well, Wall Street certainly delivers. This is a cool-as-a-cucumber perfume, and really, quite ideal on a male in the heat. Not necessarily some shirtless greek beach model... but a clever white shirt and black pants? Okay, I'm game. Definitely opening with citrus, as said previously, Wall Street is a cucumber dream. Citrus, lets face it, can be boring, monotonous, and not worthy of daily use. This, combined with the oceanic/aquatic thanks-to-the-seaweed aspect causes Wall Street to open up with a burst of freshness. One I've not sniffed replicated. Definitely smell the leather, and yeah, I get Lavender, now that I've skimmed over the notes. Resins... maybe... it is kinda sweet. But enough already. 6+ hours later it still smells of cucumber. So it's fresh, non-offensive for sure, and smells amazing. Two thumbs up from me!

Dear all the idiots on here, Not everything that is aquatic/green/etc. is similar to Cool Water or GIT! The only ones, for the most part, in that category are GIT by Creed, Cool Water by Davidoff, and Chez Bond by Bond No. 9. I swear to God, there're multiple people on every "fresh" scent's page, claiming that it "smells like", or is "a version of", Cool Water. If you really believe that about all the bright fragrances, then God help you, but this is mostly a CUCUMBER AND LEMON fragrance... how the hell do you get Cool Water or GIT from that? If you have to compare this to those two, that just shows you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about with regards to perfumery as a whole. I just had to get this out there, so I hope you enjoyed my little rant. Best, T.T.F.E.

Classy and well made freshie from Bond No 9. The seaweed and cucumber notes may throw some people off, but I do not get a "fishy" or "wet dog" scent that some of these people in the comments are saying. Definitely sample first. I get pretty good performance, and it lasts for a long time, which is great for an aquatic. Can be dressed up, and works wonders in the warm and hot weather. Gets good compliments as well. Excited to continue to wear this when summer comes around. This goes for any fragrance, but especially when it comes to Bond; but sample yourself and take the comments/ratings with a grain of salt. Definitely would recommend Wall Street to anyone looking for an upscale freshie with good performance Overall: 8/10

If anyone is considering buying this but are worried about some of the low scores and bad reviews , you just have to ask yourself a simple question. Would a niche fragrance house still be making/selling a fragrance for 20+ years(Wall Street came out in 2004) if it was anywhere near as bad as some of these trolls and halfwits claim it is?? Remember we're not talking about some behemoth like Dior or Giorgio Armani or Chanel here. Bond No.9 is a small niche company based out of New York with less than 200 fragrances made in their history and plenty of them have been discontinued while Wall Street continues to sell, despite the fragrance snobs sticking their noses up at it. 🤷Just the facts.

Notalara takılmayın. Bu parfüm çok güzel ve şık bir "temizlik" havası veriyor. Ilk yarim saat muhteşem. Sonra gücü normale donuyor ve 5-6 saat etrafta fark edilir şekilde ilerliyor. Kendisini göstermek için sert notalara ihtiyacı olmayan parfümlerden. Bence hak ettiği görememiş bir parfüm bu. Sayısız basit parfümün beğeni oranını bildiğim için söylüyorum bunu. Kiyafet üstünde 12 saati geçiyor. Salatalık notası hafif ve sade ama fark ediliyor. Parfume genel olarak hakim. Temizlik ve şık havası buradan geliyor. Deniz yosunu notasını ise tom ford costa azzurra da çok beğenmiştim bu parfüme de yakismis. Bence Bond oldukça iyi bir iş çıkarmış.

Very nice mix of cucumber and lemon and that's what I get pretty much throughout from opening to descent into a skin scent. I like it plain and simple. The projection and longevity are both above average. Is it worth the price? Well that is the question. I own only a sample but I am not sure my love for it would justify purchase of a FB. For that I am afraid I would have had to have been knocked off my feet upon first sniff and that didn't happen. So if you are a guy (or gal) with money burning a hole in your pocket, then knock yourself out. I am not that guy. Maybe....someday... ;-)

One of my favorite frags and immediate introduction into the house of Bond No. 9. This gets compliments on my skin, no mater what time of year. Many ppl complain about how it smells like wet dog or etc on their skin, but honestly that person or those ppl need to take a nice hot bath before wearing this frag. It is amazing! It can be layered with anything fresh such as Roses on Ice. I first did this when I was on a trip, and you can’t believe the amount of head turns I received. Once again amazing frag!

BroomRider, My comments had nothing to do with the fact that I like the fragrance. Obviously it wasn't aimed at anybody who disliked it. My beef is with the fact that so many uneducated people decide that any fresh fragrance smells like Cool Water/GIT. That's it. These people need to get a real sniffer and realize that aside from being warm weather scents, there is absolutely nothing similar between the two. Thanks for calling me an embarrassment by the way. Love you Broomy! ;) Best, TTFE

COME ON PEOPLE!!! Lol Isn't it obvious? To me it is. I first became introduced to this scent when I was stripping in 2008. All these notes combine to smell like $MONEY$. More specifically, American bills. Smell it again. You will see that I am right. (I have heard, that this is what it was designed to smell like in the first place. From a reputable source..) I love this scent and have kept it in my wardrobe ever since. Trust me, I have sniffed enough cash to know what it smells like.

العطر رائع جدا و مميز و لا يشابه اي عطر في السوق , رائحته منعشة و يتحول الى برتقال مع رائحة البحر و الطحالب, رجولي جدا و غير مناسب للنساء بالرغم من انه عطر للجنسين. و اتوقع رائحة العطر قد يفهم بشكل خاطيء لانه يشابه رائحة العرق احيانا. Very unique outstanding perfume its very fresh. I didn't notice the cucumber but there is a general green vegetable smell. the main noticeable smell is orange and Sea breeze. it turns somehow into sweaty smell. but sexy :)

I get a lot of metal in this -- rolls of stainless steel and aluminum in a cold rain, maybe near the ocean (not the beach). Cucumber and citrus really come through as it dries. This doesn't smell particularly special to me, but it's nice, safe, fresh. With a name like "Wall Street" I was expecting more of a powerhouse fragrance, but this is really quite tame; I guess this is a bear market Wall Street (surprising given that this was released in 2004).

@mikemuscles21 @Smellyman Dear Gentleman, Please let us bury the hatchet. "De gustibus non est disputandum", anyway. All of us love perfume. Let us stop quarrelling, for God's sake! Let us share our avocation for perfume! Beyond statistics, black is black, and white is white. The variegation of our earthly world is wholly natural and inborn. We live in it up to our ears. :-) This is the gift we simply ought to cherish. Peace! Best regards, Men!

Been gatekeeping this one long enough but since i have 2 bottles I’ll share.... It’s a lowkey banger anywhere that has a high heat climate Summer signature worthy this one is made to be enjoyed in the air seaweed note is only detectable up close on skin spray only on clothes to avoid but it’s really not bad to me I’ve literally never hugged a woman who didn’t compliment or gush over this fragrance on me which is a plus for me

This is delicious on a man on a colder date night sprayed on his jacket. I loved how he smelled so much I had to go buy some just to keep the memory alive. Smells like fresh sensual cuddling... you just want to take big whiffs of him cuz he smells clean, but manly and sexy. Love this... too strong for me to wear, but I don't mind it sprayed on a jacket now and then.

sweet, fruity, slightly aquatic but not really, a lot,like sj unforgivable but a little higher quality and this one performs like a beast on me, smelled it all day on me from 8-10 hours. I don't get a nasty sour seaweed vibe, if anything that is what gives me the aquatic vibe, but it remains sweet and fruity on me, I love it! A fresh scent done well.

Literally perfect cologne. Can be worn year round. It’s got this minty cooling accord that stays through and the “wet dog” is a seaweed note but only when you smell it up close you notice it. Doesn’t really bother me because it’s what true aquatics tend to do. Same thing as Bvlgari aqua. Spray on clothes, this is a sleeper fragrance.

Love love love this scent. If you like freshies, don't listen to anyone else but me and give this one a sample. I get a lot of the cucumber, but I get other things too. Another good cucumber scent is LV Pacific Chill, however I like this scent better because of its complexity. I'm my opinion this scent smells of higher quality.

A mix of Polo Blue + Light blue + Millesime Imperial. Simple perfume and very easy to please, I didn't understand this controversy with the smell of wet dog. People definitely like to argue. I sprayed it once on my arm to test, then used another perfume with 6 sprays. Bond simply drowned out the other with just one spray.

This is often compared to Millesime Imperial. It has some similarities, but overall, it is MUCH different. Much greener, much heavier, darker. This fragrance is full of cucumber, vetiver and salt. It smells crisp and refreshing, but not for everyone. To me, I consider this the gem of the Bond house. 9/10

Wall Street is beautiful. It starts off with a clean watery citrus. It dries down to a clean elegant fresh amber scent. It is evident it’s high quality and lasts all day. Don’t get any marine notes just a clean, elegant, fresh smell with a hint of amber to sweeten things up. It’s perfect

Just tried a sample of Wall Street, and must say I love it. On me it starts off with a metallic/dry musk kinda scent, then it morphs into a nice orange and marine fragrance. Reminds me of Aqva Amara, but with a bit more orange and a little less seaweed/marine.

This is a very challenging scent. I understand why some people say it smells like wet dog. The magic is in the air. The scent is a compliment getter for sure. I enjoy it and it’s always unique wherever I wear it.

Don’t listen to the haters. This is an easy to wear beautiful fresh scent that lasts all of 12 hours. It’s classy, it’s fresh, it’s different in the sense it’s not your typical fresh scent. But it’s fantastic

Another favorite of mine. Has been compared to Millesime Imperial, but i prefer that one. Its fresh, elegant, sexy. At his best in spring summer, but i can see that as a signature scent.

It's so fresh and so clean with a good sillage and I can not explain why so much dislike but i love it because it is a relaxing scent with a great mix.

This scent is beautiful and long lasting. I can see how it's slightly animalic quality might be off-putting to some, but I really enjoy it.

Fantastic marine opening, followed by a leathery dry down. My favorite fragrance from No. 9 house

Safe vetiver from Bond No 9. I get completed when I wear it so no compliments here.

smells like shampoo/ detergent /soap. sample if you like freshies

Love it. But its an acquired taste. It smells like money

The fragrance opens mostly with notes of lavender and cucumber. The cucumber is a very realistic note evocative of freshly cut cucumber. Although citrus notes are normally the first to enter the opening, the lemon makes its entrance after a few moments, the lemon found in this fragrance is not as strong or prominent as what is normally found in summer fragrances, lemon in Bond No 9 Wall Street seems to be there just to add some flavor to the cucumber and goes well with it, that along with the bitter orange. The vetiver joins the blend with a pinch of green note and it combines well with the cucumber, opening the green side of the fragrance just a bit. The caraway adds a slightly spicy accord; the seaweed adds a soft marine touch that gives the fragrance an aquatic and marine tone. The opening if Wall Street is a mix of green, soapy floral and aquatic notes, the initial projection is moderate. Once the fragrance begins its journey to the dry-down, the ambergris adds its slightly earthy aroma that mixes well with the musk and vetiver. The leather and pistachio described as notes are almost unnoticeable. Once, Bond, No. 9 Wall Street has reached its full dry-down, it can be described as a cucumber, citrus, green and aquatic fragrance with soft floral notes. Bond No 9 feels modern, clean, unique, intriguing, different, and pleasant. Batch reviewed: 2019 Wow Rating: 6/10. Bond No 9 is pleasant but not impressive. Dislike Rating: 4/10. The cucumber and seaweed notes may come across as offensive to those that have never tried them before. Uniqueness: 10/10. Wall Street will be a gem for those looking for unique and different fragrances. Mass Appeal: 6/10. Not the most mass-appeal fragrance but not entirely offensive either. Projection: 3/10. Moderate projection, about three feet around the wearer. Sillage: 3/10. Moderate sillage, about three feet behind the wearer. Application: Four to six atomizations will suffice. More will not make the fragrance pungent or offensive but will just improve longevity and projection. Longevity: 3/10. Moderate, about three hours, it drops quickly. Seasons: Any. Occasions: Formal events, office, business, casual. Bond No 9 Wall Street feels like a good office fragrance; this is an office-friendly fragrance. Versatility: 6/10. Moderate versatility. Gender: Unisex but it feels slightly tilted to the masculine side. Ages: 20 and above. Recommendation: Bond No 9 Wall Street is a great fragrance for those looking for something unique and different that can be worn to the office, although its longevity is a bit disappointing. Its retail price is over $250 but it can be found discounted for about $160. Many signature fragrances can be found in the same range. This is a nice to have but not a must-have. Blind-Buy: No, sample it first. Similar: Wall Street may be one of the few, if not the only fragrance featuring cucumber as the main note. Summary: A cucumber, citrus, green and aquatic fragrance with soft floral notes that feels modern, clean, unique, intriguing, different, and pleasant.

I heard somewhere that this is President Obama's signature scent and so I decided I had to try it. So when I bought Chelsea Nights, I requested a free atomizer of Wall Street, and the salesperson happily complied. I had only thought about testing the fragrance today, so I applied a few sprays on myself and let it set for a few seconds. My first thoughts were, and I quote, "Daaaamn, Obama, you got taste." I mean, I sincerely loved the opening so much. It was refreshing, cool, crisp, and clean, in line with Versace Man Eau Fraiche, with a dominating cucumber note reminiscent of a thirst-quenching summer drink. It had a bit of sweet-salty marine-ness to it, but it didn't feel like an "aquatic fragrance", at least not in the standard, formulaic way, as this possessed a slightly green quality and had a level of class and elegance about it that was executed in a somewhat uncommon way. The scent went through subtle changes through the heart, where the saltiness would be more prominent, but still blend with the juicy cucumber note quite beautifully. And then, came the drydown. Almost indescribably bizzare, and any pleasing aspects of the fragrance have already waned off by this point. It smells like an earthy, salty petrichor, but in kind of an unpleasant way. The people who described it as "wet dog" might've been on to something. I think this comes from the seaweed note. It's such a shame because if this chemical reaction of a drydown didn't exist this would become an instant favorite of mine for the summer. Performance on this fragrance is decent, about 5-8 hours on your skin depending on temperature conditions around you. Though you'd be praying for bad performance by the time the drydown rolls around. Overall, I still really like this fragrance, though I'm not sure where it stands in the range of Bond No. 9's offerings. If you'd really like to use this fragrance, I would highly, highly suggest layering it with something preferably a bit more intense, so the drydown can be masked with the other fragrance. Either that, or as the drydown rolls around, spray a liberal amount of a different fragrance on you to overtake Wall Street. (I did not plan that pun, but I'm keeping it.)

I've been excited to try this, based on some "interesting" reviews. Could this really smell like pickles and dead fish?? Well, let's see. ... Okay first of all, this is now at least the 3rd Bond scent that I loosely compare to Creed Green Irish Tweed; first was Chez Bond, then Riverside Drive, now this one. (Mind you, I did say "loosely" compare). They evoke a general gentlemanly scent that's fairly timeless, something that will likely still smell good several decades from now and not fall victim to "scent-fad". Anyways, about Wall Street specifically...i definitely don't get pickles; i DO get a sort of diced cucumber salad, something that's light and crisp to the nose and certainly doesn't smell "pickled". As far as the dead fish accord? --not for me. I get a way bigger seaweed vibe from Tom Ford Costa Azzurra. I think the seaweed note here is a great supporting note and isn't a standout, at least not to me. If anything it provides a saltiness like that of sweaty skin, but not odorous or pungent in any way. The overall scent makes me think of "grey tweed", like the smell of freshly upholstered bucket seats. That's why after I smelled it a couple times, my brain went to GIT as a slight means of comparison. Still unsure if I'd own this. It's unique and the overall sum of its parts is clean to me, but body chemistry is a fickle thing so you may very well smell like pickles and dead fish when you wear it, so please try it first.

#45 on my Fragrance Review Journey I bought a travel tester of Wall Street late last year. I wore it once in December and really amped it up this month in the heat. I will say a few things about this fragrance. It is strong. A few sprays go a long way. It can be room-filling. After the first half-hour it begins to settle down to a respectivle 3-5 foot scent bubble. You will notice cucumber and seaweed right away, which is very well blended. The opening reminds me a little of Kilian's Roses on Ice. This fragrance becomes linear in the drydown but pleasant. 8 hours later it was still noticeable on my skin. Around the 10-hour mark, it faded away. Great for a fresh scent.. I am one of the fortunate ones to never have smelled anything that resembled a wet dog, even in high heat outside and sweating. This scent, like so many others, can drive you crazy if you try to navigate your decision purely off reviews. As you can see by the rating and the comments, there are large swings of opinion. I implore you to get a sample and try it like I did. Would I purchase a full bottle? Yes, I would. You do not have to pay retail. I have seen 100ML for $150 or less on discounters. It is a unique/niche scent that smells great on me and in the air. I will be adding this to the collection soon. 8.5/10 (only because I feel it become a bit linear)

I've left a review on this in the past saying I got a really fresh burst of cucumber and the fragrance evolved and progressed through the aromatic fresh lemon with a hint of bitterness from what I presume is the orange. However... I just bought my second bottle and honestly I was quite disappointed. It's like this bottle was microwaved. Gone was the burst of freshness. Rather it was seaweed and like quite a few have said fish. If I really start sniffing it up close it begins to remind me of a fresh catch fish market marinating in lemon. I do get the lavander and musks but until it settles into more of a dry down I genuinely feel like it smells like a puddle because that sharp fresh cucumber note I got with my first bottle is non existent right off the top anymore. It's been a signature fragrance since September 2023 for me but I'm not convinced anymore it's here to stay for me especially when here in Australia we transition into the fall and winter. Never received a negative for wearing this and my partner still finds it interesting and the dry down nice. Honestly feel like bottles can really vary with this frag and you can have entirely different experiences. I've changed my rating from love to just like. Definitely don't recommend this at night regardless of season and a definite skip for fall and winter.

Love this one. Reminds me of Orange Sanguine but without the woodsy dry-down. I prefer the ozonic, watery accords in this one much more. Stays fresh and doesn't get too earthy like the Orange Sanguine does. Update: I think I may have been off about the Orange Sanguine. It's actually much too tart to be compared to that. I have to disagree that it smells like MI. Don't get that. This smells less old-school than MI. In fact, I don't care much for MI, but I like this one. Wall Street is totally the wrong name for this frag. In fact, it doesn't connote any locale in Manhattan, or any other borough, for me. This is too clean and watery for NYC. They should have swapped this one with Hamptons, which smells just like SMW by Creed. Also, this fragrance is most definitely not a power fragrance befitting the reputation of Wall Street and its denizens. There's nothing "power" about it. I'd even say it's perky, playful, and happy. Not very Wall Street. I imagine that a frag for Wall Street should smell boozy and/or deeply green, and very expensive. This fragrance doesn't even smell particularly expensive.

I have a feeling that if the note breakdown was unavailable no one would get a fishy or wet dog smell from this fragrance. After you read a ton of reviews claiming to smell something unpleasant, you’ll expect to smell something unpleasant when you get your nose on it. To me, this fragrance smells like straight up CASH, USD. Not figuratively but LITERALLY... literal fresh printed CASH MONEY. Theres a stereotypical ‘finance guy’ cologne aroma in the vein of a Millesime Imperial by Creed mixed with cold hard dollar bills. It’s on theme with its name and I’d say it’s pretty clever how it’s done. However, I STILL don’t enjoy this fragrance. It has a very sharp and piercing quality to it that I just can’t get past. I’d enjoy it more if it was diluted a little. Wall Street would be so much better if it were made more transparent or airy. The sharpness and density of the current formulation renders it ‘team too damn much’ for a lack of better adjectives. It has potential to be an excellent year round signature scent worthy freshie but it needs to be toned down more than a few notches.

I am really on the fence with this one! First I liked it a lot, a slightly salty ozonic calone aquatic with good projection. Then I got to smell my arm up close where the scent actually reminds me of fishy brine from a can - not something you'd want to smell like. So, in my opinion the trick is probably not to smell yourself up close, but just let it radiate. The notes are a mix of salty seaweed, calone, cucumber, ambergris and musk - quite strange, but somehow intriguing. It has some similarities to Sean John Unforgivable and Creed Millesime Imperial, but with less of the orange and fruity notes. It comes off as quite linear wihtout any noticeable changes throughout the drydown. Like most Bond scents this has great staying power, and is not easily washed off - will have to give thumbs up to Bond for consistency on the longevity of all their scents I've tried and also for naming this Wall Street (as in the geographical area surrounded by East River and Hudson river - not as in smelling like a banker). Try before you buy.

I‘ve had this cologne for a while now, about 6 months. I smelled it for the first time on a coworker, and thought it was unique but smelled amazing. I did not smell it up close, only in the air. One thing I do want to mention for anyone that doesn’t have this and have never smelled it. Wall Street is the worst name they could’ve chosen. This is an aquatic, fresh with a strong cucumber note and noticeable sea weed as well. How does that describe wall street at all??? It smells good with a delicious cucumber note in the opening that’s very addicting. The sea weed note is prominent as well but it’s most noticeable when you are putting your nose to your skin. I honestly find the fragrance unpleasant if I smell it with my arm in my face. When smelling it in the air, in my opinion, the seaweed note becomes much less noticeable leaving you with that juicy cucumber. So I still wear the fragrance, but it is not worth paying retail.

"Bond No 9 Wall Street" olağanüstü sucul parfüm " İçeriğinde bulunan salatalık notası için bu parfümü satın aldım. Salatalık nota olarak nasıl koktuğunu bilmiyorum. Tek bir monosepaj olarak salatalık " notası . Çok ilginç geliyor bana. Parfüm dere kenarında beklemiş yosunlaşmıs ve kokmaya başlamış bir su kokusudur. Bunun üzerine tırmanmaya çalışan limon notası hakim. Türkiye olarak biz buna direkt " kolonya" deriz. Bayramda seyran da ellere döküyoruz. Bunun haricinde farklı devam eden bir niche sucul parfüm olduğu için dikkatimi daha çok çekiyor. . Sanki bir ormanda kaybolmuşsunuz. Yanınızda " arpa suyu var asitli". Limonu tuzunu alıp , salataları doğrayıp aynı anda hem içmeye hemde yemeye başlıyorsunuz. Ağzım sulandı. Kalıcılık : 10/9 Sanat : 10/10 Ortamalama 10/8.1

I see why this gets some negative reviews since it is marketed as a unisex fragrance when I cannot picture myself as a woman wearing this. It is a very masculine fragrance. Projection is excellent on this one because of the many zesty notes that tend to project better than, let's say, balsamic or earthy notes. Longevity is very good for a citrus fragrance with 6-8 hours if you spray about 5 sprays. The scent: Very simply, this is a lot of vibrant natural lemon and lemon peel fragrance backed up by other green and earthy elements. Such a simple yet stunning composition. If you love natural citrus fragrances that are loud and zesty, this is a must; however, not for women.

Got this one in a blind swap. Right out of the bottle, Wall Street is very pleasing. Salty cucumber and citrus..very much in the vein of Millesime Imperial or - even closer to my nose - Sean John Unforgivable. As it dries down the sea kale note becomes much more prominent on my skin - it gives off a pretty authentic "at the beach" vibe similar to Sel Marin. I would guess that's the "wet dog" people mention in other reviews but it doesn't come across that way to me. All in all, this is a like not a love...even though Wall Street has better performance I will probably still reach for MI more.

Interesting fragrance, it's definitely cucumber heavy with an almost melon citrus opening. It reminds me of Kenneth Cole's Signature, but made fresher with citruses and aquatics. Just like signature, it's a bit synthetic. There's a little green touches that stay in the background. It's long lasting and in the far dry down, some of the citruses die off and you are left with calone (seaweed) which some people do not like (some interpret it as wetdog). I don't mind calone personally, but I still prefer the opening of this fragrance. Overall it's solid, but it's a bit too synthetic for me.

ok so... i actually like this fragrance but here is the bad part. after about an hour i get the "wet dog" smell. yes, wet dog. im not sure what it is and its not exact but it sure is close. good thing is it wears off after a little bit. id say this is a decent frag with great longevity and sillage. projection is good also. but i let it go. nice but not my cup of tea. strong cucumber opening, salt, citrus. but that mid though... cant do it.. since the mid doesn't last too long i'll say 7/10 over all. longevity is a 9 for sure and sillage is a 9 peace and blessings to all
