Game of Spades Wildcard

One bottle, one nose, no bias. And right out of the gate, Wild Card doesn’t ease in, it announces itself. Bright citrus and clean florals hit immediately, sharp, energetic, and confident. There’s a sweetness riding underneath, but it’s controlled, almost teasing, never syrupy. This isn’t fresh in a safe way, it’s fresh with intent. If you’ve smelled Bond No 9 Lafayette Street, you already know the DNA. The similarity is undeniable. Citrus, florals, that smooth slightly sweet backbone that feels polished and modern. The difference is the attitude. Lafayette Street opens smoother, no argument there. It’s silkier in the first few minutes. But that advantage disappears fast, and once it does, Wild Card starts pulling away. After five minutes, Wild Card locks in. The citrus stays bright without turning sour, the florals add lift instead of soapiness, and that subtle sweetness gives it a bite that keeps pulling you back in. This is where the addiction starts. It smells expensive, confident, and alive. There’s something almost magnetic about it, like a traditional fougère that took a sharp left turn into something more modern and slightly oriental. Performance is where this really separates itself. Projection is strong and consistent for a solid six hours, not loud in a choking way, but unmistakably present. People notice it. Longevity is easily nine hours on skin, sometimes more, and it holds its character the entire time. No collapsing into a dull musky blur. No disappearing act. It stays interesting. This is an office killer if you know how to wear fragrance properly, controlled sprays, clean presentation. It’s also absurdly good for daytime meetings, creative environments, and any situation where you want people engaged, leaning in, asking questions. It’s confident without being aggressive, refined without being boring. The best part is the balance. Fresh but not sterile. Sweet but not juvenile. Floral but still masculine. That citrus floral bite is the hook, and once it sinks in, you’re done. This is the kind of scent you reach for without thinking, then realize halfway through the day you can’t stop smelling yourself. Final verdict, smoother opening goes to the OG, everything else goes to Wild Card. Better projection, better longevity, more presence, more wearability. This is one of those rare cases where the inspired version actually outperforms the reference where it matters most. Score, 9.3 out of 10.

Im not here from TikTok, I hate the Jo Milano shilling and paid influencers, and Im going to be direct and honest about this as someone who has owned Lafayette St and can provide some commentary Firstly, yeah, its actually good. I was kinda bluffing in the first bit because there arent really any negatives here for the fragrance itself. Ive tried quite a few clones and similar-to's, and this one is at the top. My last try was Sculpture Parfum which wasn't intended to be a clone of its own modernized clone, (Lafayette St is just a niche revival of the classic Nikos Sculpture) but many had suggested it went in a direction which sent it closer to the Lafayette signature. It kinda did, also really didnt. I was disappointed I wasn't getting enough of the Lafayette signature there so I eventually grabbed Wildcard and IMMEDIATELY its like "yeah, that's Lafayette St". There's still a fair bit of magic missing which is to be expected but for the price (Ive seen this hit as low as 45$ recently which is pretty good, 40 or less is great if it gets there) its probably the closest you can get to the real deal. I'd say for 90%+ of people who have had Lafayette but won't buy another bottle because of the price, they'd be thrilled to have this. Also, people complain about the 'crazy harsh synthetic laundry chemical smell' in Wildcard but little do they know that's pretty much just the Sculpture/Lafayette DNA 😂 All in all, Im a fan. ***quick edit I saw some comments below mine that have me on the verge of crashing out so let me be clear; 1. This is NOT as good as Lafayette despite it being great 2. This does NOT project stronger than Lafayette. I can confirm this smelling them off skin side by side 3. Although they will both last forever, especially on clothes, this doesn't last longer than Lafayette either. This isn't better than Lafayette St. Stop lying to people. It's GREAT; But it isn't the original which comes with a MUCH higher price tag, for a reason. I feel like half of yall have never even smelled the original 🙄

Wildcard kicks off with this lively mix of bergamot's sharp, citrusy punch and some soft floral hints, backed by a touch of herbal coriander that gives it a fresh, almost green vibe—like waking up to a cool city morning that just perks you right up. Then it shifts into the middle notes, where ambroxan brings this light, salty edge that pairs nicely with ripe apple and smooth vanilla, building a sweet, fruity heart that's bubbly but not too dessert-like, with this addictive modern twist that keeps you coming back for more. Down the line, it settles into woody tones laced with ambergris's sensual musk and tonka bean's nutty warmth, leaving a clean, elegant finish that reminds me of fresh sheets with a subtle woodsy whisper. On the wear side, this parfum hangs around for a solid 6 to 10 hours on my skin, starting with a decent throw for the first few hours before it chills out to something more up-close-and-personal—perfect for any time of year, but it really pops in spring or fall, or just everyday hangs. Letting it macerate a bit smooths out any early citrusy bite that might feel a tad sharp at first. People rave about it as a spot-on dupe for Bond No. 9's Lafayette Street, nailing that apple-vanilla-amber vibe about 90% of the way but way cheaper, and it stands out with extra fruitiness that makes it super wearable for guys or gals. Sure, it's pretty straightforward without wild twists, which might bore the hardcore scent hunters, but overall, it's a crowd-pleaser that feels luxe without trying too hard—great for anyone wanting an easy, compliment-magnet fresh scent on a budget.

Jo Milano Wildcard opens with a juicy apple note mixed with a green earthy-spicy nuance that gives the fragrance immediate character. A clean barbershop-style lavender sits behind it alongside warm amber vanilla and subtle ambroxan. The opening feels smooth, modern, and slightly dense without becoming heavy, while the green spicy facets keep the sweetness from turning overly gourmand. As it develops, the apple, spice, and vanilla blend into a dry airy fougère structure. Lavender becomes more central while woods and ambroxan slowly rise underneath. The sweetness stays controlled and never becomes creamy or syrupy, instead supporting the aromatic woody backbone. There is a really nice balance between modern sweet amberwoods and classic fougère cleanliness that keeps the scent versatile and refined. In the later stages, the fragrance settles into a dry amber woody vanilla with lingering apple brightness and aromatic support. The slightly resinous amber and woody ambroxan base add depth while still maintaining an airy texture. It reminded me a bit of Parfums de Marly Layton, but with a drier and more versatile structure. Overall, this was an extremely pleasant wear from start to finish. The fragrance feels high quality and balances modern sweetness and ambroxan with classic fougère cleanliness very well. Almost every phase of the wear was enjoyable. The only knock is the price difference to the OG. I have never tried Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street, so I cannot say whether the higher price is justified, but the gap is definitely smaller than it is with a lot of clone fragrances. 9/10

Compliment monster. This is my gf’s favorite fragrance in my entire collection full of niche and designers. I think it’s best used as a “going out fragrance.” I wore it to a bar/club the other day and received 4 compliments and my gf was going crazy for it. I also saw a friend whom I hadn’t seen in years, and that I remember his signature scent was Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street. I was first introduced to that scent profile when he showed me it and I loved it. I saw him that same night and he literally asked me if i was wearing Lafayette Street. I told him it was a dupe and it cost me 50$ and he couldn’t believe it. He literally could not tell the difference with GoS Wildcard and the Bond. It projects so much that he could pick it up away and not smelling it directly on skin. This is the only dupe in my collection and I’ve contemplated selling it just because it’s a dupe and i’m very type A, but whenever i’m close enough to pulling the trigger, I get a great amount of compliments that have me second guessing my decision. In conclusion: 1. This is such a good dupe that people who have this as their signature scent could not tell the difference in the air. 2. Compliment MONSTER - my girlfriend’s favorite fragrance in my collection of niche and designer 3. Amazing projection and longevity, will fill up a room so I think it’s best used as a going out fragrance. I also let my bottle to macerate for a while and that improved the fragrance a lot. When it first arrived I wasn’t too fond of it, but now it’s a 1-1 dupe.

Not 100% like Lafayette but it’s its own good thing. - I’d be lying if I said Wildcard is a 1:1 to Lafayette but it does get pretty close, oddly enough though I did ending up preferring Wildcard as I found Lafayette to be a tad sweeter, therefore, less versatile (ahem... not to mention the almost $400 difference) The scent itself is like if Versace Eros actually grew up lol, sounds weird but what I mean by this is that Versace Eros smells like a sweaty, loud and vulgar teenager wanting to get trashed and laid... Wildcard on the other hand though is Eros grown up, no more partying, put together and ready to kill it wherever at its sexiest prime... Basically (ignore all that weird chatter), smells like iced green apple with warm vanilla, it’s refreshing and sweet at the same time, super versatile and mass appealing. / Sadly, in my case it just doesn’t last, I get about 2 hours projecting if I’m lucky and then it tones down by a LOT, like it went from arm reach to hug reach. Maybe I got a fake or something but I doubt it; to be fair though, Lafayette didn’t last long either. Anyway, for the price tag is a no-brainer that will get you compliments everywhere. I don’t even wear it that often but it’s the type of fragrance that just gets everyone, really easy to wear while being undoubtedly masculine.

Wildcard is one of the best dupes out there. And I don’t mean that in just the sense of “it smells good,” but rather with how close it is to the original. Granted, Lafayette is not a super complex fragrance, but wildcard is near 1:1 - I’m talking althair to brun closeness. The fragrance itself is a floral, apple-y ambery vanilla. I perceive a pretty good dose of green apple, and for that reason the fragrance overall just reminds me of a bright lively green color, if that makes sense. It lasts a pretty good amount, projects well for a good 2-3 hours, hangs around for another couple hours, then fades into kind of a skin scent that lasts for a while. It’s a really versatile fragrance, and there aren’t many situations where you couldn’t chuck on a few sprays of this. Easily a 9/10 fragrance, if not even higher - my main gripe is that the opening can feel thick or sharp if you spray too much. Absolutely worth at least trying a sample, or even blind buying🙂↕️

For everyone saying this is a laundry detergent type scent they aren’t wrong. HOWEVER for about 45min it smells like the best version of laundry detergent possible and then the dry down is just beautiful. I think it smells almost like root beer on the dry down, but again in the best possible way. It’s a perfect nighttime all year round fragrance. I would caution against a blind buy seeing that it’s a unique smell that might not appeal to all. In my collection this has gotten me the most compliments especially by women. It projects quite a bit and lasts on skin for 6-8 hours and about 10hrs in you can still smell it if you really stick your nose up to it. All in all I would give this a 9.5/10 the smell is right up my alley and I’ve gotten numerous positive reviews in the short time I’ve had it. However it doesn’t appeal to everyone and might just not be your thing, if you can smell it before you buy it I would but I blind bought and I don’t regret it.

In the opening, it is a dark citrus scent. After about 20 mins some apple and vanilla come into play to give the fragrance a more uplifting fruity feel. The citrus in the opening tones down and resonates with the soft apple vanilla to create this absolutely gorgeous combination. It stays like this for about 2 to 3 hours. I find the ambroxan makes me slightly nose blind, but trust me other people can smell you. In the dry down, woody notes set in as the fragrance settles in closer to give a great lingering soft woody smell. Not like your typical sandalwood though. It reminds me of particle board when freshly broken. In a weird way, it smells very pleasant. If you know you know. Interesting sidenote: I actually did not like this DNA when I smelled it in a Lafayette St. decant. It is way too compressed and cloying to me. Too much going on. This is Jo Milano dupe on the other hand has me HOOKED. I highly prefer this over the Bond version. Overall 9/10

Sweeter and different than I expected. I’ve grown up around dunhill desire and own Xerjoff uden while I think they share 20% of its DNA but doesn’t at all remind me of any. I haven’t tried bond no9 as in the UK it’s pretty hard to come by... I will sample it one day. This scent is a barbershop dna with a sweet / fresh twist it certainly reminds me of something mostly but can’t put my finger on it ... could be a girls perfume but this isn’t girls imo I would say unisex. But overall I like it and I have nothing like it in my collection and il be wearing it. Il be letting is macerate for a few weeks as heard it gets better but no doubt I like it still out of the box. —- Update 1 for 1 in scent as bond no9 I laughed when I got my sample how spot on. Wildcard has better projection, longevity and bottle too. It’s win in every department if you like bond no9 LS if you say it doesn’t smell like it you have a dud bottle.

Laundry detergenty... In a good way. I've tried Lafayette Street Bond No 9 in store and it smelled quite fantastic. I couldn't get it off my mind. I came across this fragrance on TikTok. I was very skeptical since the TikTok shop was filled with shills shilling every garbage product. I did a bit more digging and apparently it is just as good as all the shills were saying it was. I decided to pull the trigger. I ordered this stuff off Amazon and a few days later it arrived (today). It smells very much like a very high-end laundry detergent which isn't a bad thing. Smells pretty close to the real thing. Since I don't actually own the real deal, I can't do a side by side but from memory it smells quite accurate. Lafayette Street is kinda obsolete when Wildcard exists. Edit: I went back to the store to Lafayette Street again and it is 1:1 no question. 1:1 but stronger and lasts longer.

Smells like laundry detergent Im not a fan. Its definitely not may scent profile, has decent performance and projection 7.5/10 Edit, Surprised me after a few wears — now I really enjoy it (8.5/10) At first, I wasn’t impressed. Someone even said it smelled like laundry detergent the first day I wore it, and that definitely turned me off. But after giving it a few more chances, I’ve grown to really enjoy the scent—especially the mid notes and the dry down. I’m still not a fan of the opening, but once it settles, it smells smooth, clean, and surprisingly addictive. This one really taught me how much your opinion can change once a fragrance has time to evolve on your skin. Now I actually want to try the real Lafayette Street to compare. If you’re unsure at first, give it a few wears—it might grow on you like it did for me.

I purchased this last year blind, along with Game of Spades Boston. I've been amazed by Boston, and just pleased with this. One word: laundry. This smells like a fragrant laundry detergent or dryer sheet, but in the best way possible: floral, citrus and apple up top. The scent evolves to a comforting sweet ambroxan, vanilla, tonka bean into the dry down, with a discernable green apple not lingering. However, the fragrance smells quite synthetic, distracting a tad from the otherwise high quality sense of the juice. I eventually smelled Bond No 9 Lafayette St at Neiman, and can certify, at least based on top notes in a tester strip, Wildcard is 95% similar with no clear differences (The same for Scent of Peace for Him and Boston). Therefore, this is an even more exceptional value for the money.

I've never smelled Lafayette Street by Bond No. 9, but this fragrance is AMAZING! Let's start with the atomizer. PRESSURIZED!! The scent comes out in full blast and stays that way for hours! It's warm and gentleman like. It reminds me of Carolina Herrera's 212 VIP Men. It's aromatic and rich and I honestly think women can wear this too. By extension, it reminds me on a much lesser scale of 1 million my Paco Rabanne. There is an accord or a note that they both share but it doesn't smell exactly like it. I feel that way about 212 VIP as well. I don't know, there is a sexy quality to this fragrance that makes you want to smell it more and more. I got tons of compliments with this fragrance. I need to try more of Jo Milano's fragrances.

This perfume took me a while to get used to; it was actually a bit of a shock when I bought it. I even felt like selling it, but after a few sprays and a week break... I loved it, it's too clean, versatile, and even elegant. For me, being quite young, it doesn't quite suit me. I hate that Jo Milano pays influencers, but this is really good. I had the chance to smell Lafayette three times, and while it's not the same, it's quite good. I like the wildcard version better because it lasts longer. This is one of my favorite fragrances, although it was a long journey, I made it and I loved it. Plus, it's a compliment bomb; I got eight compliments in one day! Great fragance For me 8.5/10 (It doesn't quite suit my personality)

A stronger and, in my opinion, superior alternative to Lafayette Street. The first few seconds of the opening on this can be harsh and pretty sharp but once it settles it goes into a beautiful bergamot, floral blend with a subtle sweetness that dries into a nice tonka bean. It's a fragrance that you can use for any situation. Want to elevate your daily wear scent? Grab this. Want to use it for that special dinner you have tonight? This has your back. Any weather, any occasion, anytime. I would recommend this over Lafayette or any other dupe of this DNA especially comparing price. I do wish Jo Milano would price their product more affordable, however the quality of this gives it a little bit of justification.

What a scent😍, I hated dunhill red which is a fragrance I got a few years ago when I first started my fragrance journey. When I saw this was being compared to dunhill red I got abit worried but when it arrived this smells KINDA like it but done SO much better. The dry down is impeccable... I didn’t think I’d like it this much but I do. It has me sniffing my wrist every few minitues. Lovely scent I’ll definitely be wearing for the upcoming summer. Only way to describe it is if you smelled dunhill red it smells like it but better quality and isn’t as harsh. It’s this fruity aquatic vibe that I love more than any other bubblegum style fragrance. This is the one for the summer!!!

I get something floral from the start, very strong, bordering on too strong. What one guy described as the "citrus floral bite" really does "bite" at first. I thought it would be too harsh, but that sharpness wears off quickly. Once it settles, it reminds me of something like those chalky, Smarties candies. It's like someone smashed a bag of 'em and threw it on me... in a good way. Like a friendly assault with a Smarties bag. Definitely unisex and lives in the MYSLF realm. Versatile. Easy to enjoy. I think others around you will find it pleasant as well. Longevity and projection are both pretty good. I find myself reaching for this a lot, so for me, the hype is justified.

Had this one for a while but decided to revisit it today. What really stands out to me is how elegant it comes across. This is a white floral gentleman’s fragrance that manages to feel classy without being overbearing. Projection is strong enough to be noticed but never obnoxious, and I’m getting around 6 to 7 hours of longevity on skin which feels right in the sweet spot for this style of scent. The overall vibe is incredibly close to Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street, so if you enjoy that fragrance but want something more affordable and accessible, Wildcard gets you most of the way there. Definitely a refined and versatile option worth having in the rotation.

They finally have this banger listed on here! One of my favorites. Bright and fresh apple and vanilla scent mixed in with freshly clean laundry that last throughout the entire duration. Smells different than other fresh/apple/vanilla based scents, but still has that familiarity. Like a distant cousin.. Great projection, last a long time, great presentation and atomizer. Very easily signature scent worthy. You can't ask for much more. Are people finally waking up to the quality and affordability that is the game of spades line? Time will tell. Those of us who know about this line will keep on enjoying them! 10/10

I have a lovely story, about how I met & fell in love with Wildcard. Over 2 years ago at work a gentleman came in wearing a fragrance that intrigued me, I was dumfounded! (Kinda blue & not. Heavy woods & sweet & kinda dark) So I asked him what it was & searched it (rite in front of him), he didn't know the name exactly smh 🙄🤦♂️. We figured it out & the next day I reached out to JoMilano & they graciously sent me a sample pack the same day! 2 weeks later I copped a NIB Wildcard & the rest is history!! The man was a heavy sprayer, that fragrance engulfed EVERY bit of space in there!!! 😂😂 it was so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

The only dupe in my entire collection and that speaks volumes on how good this is. Smells to my nose, exactly like Lafayette Street. Very strong projection and long lasting. I mainly use it to go out at night especially during the summer since it is fresh but also sweet on the dry down. My gf loves it and it gathers a ton of compliments. It’s very strong tho, I see this only as a casual or like going out scent only as It would be a little cloying and overpowering as an office, professional or gym scent. For the price, definitely recommend it. Great presentation and atomizer as well.

Fantastic smelling fragrance, this is just like a jack of all trades for men that can smell really good for any occasion, situation and season. It’s got a unique freshness with just enough sex appeal to give it an edge. Being a clone of Lafayette Street it opens with a loud cloud of green apple burst alongside some florals and bergamot. It’s powerful but still pleasant, almost that clean laundry detergent type vibe but it quickly develops into something more interesting with big vanilla qualities and amber coming through. Lasts long, projects really well.

You have to let this one sit for a while. I didn't even think maceration was real until I gave this fragrance a few months of sitting there. Smelled like a lemony cleaner or something before and now it smells way more heavy on the vanilla. It is like a light, airy vanilla with a touch of lemon or some type of citrus and it smells extremely elegant. It literally smells just like the bottle looks if that makes sense. Also beast mode fragrance, at least after maceration. I couldn't stand the smell when I first got it so I never tested it out of the box.

This is a very close interpretation of Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street. However, it is missing some of the zing from the original, as the original has a more prominent citrus note in the opening. I own both the Bond No.9 and Jo Milano and I still prefer my Bond over Jo Milano as its missing something. I also own and prefer Star Chaser from Thomas Kosmala over both of these, and highly recommend TK Star Chaser. You can't go wrong with any of these, but my preference would be: TK Star Chaser, Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street, and then Jo Milano WildCard

Bought this scent 2 weeks ago and loved it from the very first spray. The atomizer is sick and the scent is a new DNA in my collection. As of right now it's my daily scent (for reference I'm a junior in HS). I've gotten a couple of compliments but i'm not one to over spray to go to school. This juice is very nice with the slight citrus and floral opening that dries down into a nice vanilla. 8/10 and it's yet to be fully macerated! Last all school day and after school practices sometimes. It also feels like it stays on my uniform forever.

Best way I can describe this fragrance is it smells like a fresh pressed suit I picked up from the cleaners that I’m getting ready to wear to church, a meeting, or black and white event. You want sophistication, a memorable premium unboxing for the price you pay for this, a scent that clears a room out, and is a direct 1:1 to the OG, pick this one up and don’t look back. This fragrance will only be worn on special occasions. One thing about this is like the OG, it’s sharp but beautiful. Highly recommend wildcard to anyone. 11/10

Wow this is nice. I think this was worth every penny. The presentation is excellent with the nice box and heavy cap. The sprayer isn’t cheap. I still need to scoop up a small decant of Lafayette Street so I can see what I’m missing. If this is even 80% close I would call it a win for me. ***I got my hands on a Laffeyette decant. Money being no object the original is slightly better. Wildcard is missing something in the drydown which adds some extra depth and quality. It’s splitting hairs though.***

This shit smells very very good. Idc what nobody says about it being synthetic and not exactly alike to Lafayette st. who cares? this is a very lively youthful scent that smells amazing very fresh and sweet in a way that works perfectly, honestly all the notes are perfect so it makes sense why a clone had to be made. A clone that still delivers a great fragrance for a good price that smells more expensive than it should. I already need another bottle of this stuff, it's a magnet. 8.5/10

I'm so glad Wildcard was finally added here so I can give it the perfect rating it deserves. This has been the best substitute when I don't want to use up my fav Bond 9, Lafayette St. LS was my first and most expensive (at the time) niche purchases in my fragrance collection, and it's been in my top 3 since. I found out about WC and this stuff truly impressed me in price, performance, and scent profile compared to the OG. Highly recommend for those fans of the scent profile.

After smelling Lafayette street I can confirm that this cuts very close to being a 1 to 1 dupe. The only thing that struck me as different was that the Lafayette street opening was different but I can’t put my finger on what was different. This stuff smells great it’s slightly citrusy floral and sweet smelling and it lasts for a good 6-8 hours on my skin Overall for the price and the quality of this dupe it is 100% worth it!! I will be buying this again!

Blind bought this and can confidently say I’m very pleased. More sweet than I thought but it’s a balanced sweet. Most of my fragrances are citrus scents bc I live in such a hot place so believe me when I say this surprised me with its woody/amber sweet profile is really addicting, not synthetically sweet or cloying at all to me. Kind of reminds me of LNDL for some reason. Try a sample if anything but I enjoyed it frfr 9.2/10

I had to make an account for this reason. I recently bound this due to tik tok influence. I first was surprised by the smell, as I don’t have anything in my collection like this scent profile. It was so good, I had to buy a decant of LS just to see how good of a dupe it is... let me say, it smells 1:1 and projects louder and lasts longer than LS. Don’t waste money on LS and get this, this is an absolute masterpiece! 11/10

This one is incredibly clean and easy to wear. It’s about as safe as it gets — masculine florals paired with apple and vanilla. Simple as that. I also have a sample of Lafayette Street, and this is about 98% identical. The difference is performance — Wildcard absolutely destroys it there. Honestly, you’ve lost your mind if you’re paying Lafayette prices over Wildcard. End of story. I rate this a 9 out of 10.

This scent is extremely intoxicating; it is very sweet and just screams elegant. The floral notes mixed with the vanilla just gives it overall a great balance. I would wear this during the nighttime any chance I get, and I just love the smell of it. Like all other reviews this smells nearly identical to Bond 9. Lafayette Street has great performance on my skin and is nuclear scent.

The hype is real on this one! It’s so well rounded in every aspect. A tad heavier and touch less floral than Lafayette Street. Doesn’t have the rough edges like many dupes. Performance is a good bit above average and lasts up to 10 hours with body heat. Has become my most worn fragrance this year and I have many choices. Of the 4 GOS fragrances I have this is my favorite. 9.5/10

Wildcard smells great and it has moderate longevity- 5hrs. But it's ambroxan/musky heavy and it makes me sneeze. I prefer the OG Lafayette which sadly has a much heavier price tag. But I appreciate the well-roundedness of the OG fragrances. With that being said, Wildcard is still worth it and I'm grateful to have it! Blind buy safe for a daily driver:)

Just received it an immediate 10/10 fresh year round scent now I can give creed aventus a break lol this is a banger. Update:had to stop wearing it ,it kept giving me a migraine still a good scent but in the air it kind of to flowery and feminine might give it away if it does not get better with the headaches after a couple months of sitting

Took me a couple wears to get used to it if I’m being honest but now I can’t get enough of it it’s a beautiful smell and a compliment machine floral fruity powdery with some amber and vanilla I love it I’ve smelled the original and it’s so close that for the price it’s hard to get the original unless you’re collecting bond no9

Great fragrance, smells just like Lafayette Street with that almost "wet paint" note. If you like this super formal DNA you're going to love it. My girlfriend says it smells like NYC. Not super versatile since wearing this with a casual fit/occasion would be inappropriate IMO. Its fresh but not a gym freshie.

Have never smelled the OG but as a stand alone scent this stuff is amazing right out of the box for me so hoping maceration only makes it better. Beautiful floral and woody fragrance with vanilla undertones. Don’t get much of the apple so hoping it pops up after letting it sit a bit but still a great scent!

i had gotten a bottle of this and the projection and longevity is just super poor for me, i hope its not caude of my skin because i really like it during all stages of it drying down, i want to buy it again to see if i just got a bad bottle but i dont want to spend another $70$-$90 for it to be bad again

My girlfriend bought this and wow it is identical to Lafayette Street. Intense opening. strong Strong STRONG fragrance. Nuclear projection and performance. Please do yourself a favor and buy this instead of the Bond No. 9 version. I absolutely LOVE the smell and for this price it is 100000% worth it 5/5

Blind buy safe, it's what I did. Great atomizer, no need to overspray- lasts for hours. Great scent. The Wildcard body lotion I haven't tried, but the scents are ever so slightly different and I honestly prefer it over the cologne. Wonderful combo of apple and vanilla and overall scent lasts a long time

The best dupe on the market. I know my nose isn’t as good as some of you experts but literally the exact same as Bond. If anything this is way stronger than the og. If you’re on the edge of buying this, just do it! It’s such a good smell and very unisex I would say. My gf loves this smell on me ! 9/10

purchased bond no. 9 lafayette street some time ago before returning as i felt it wasn’t worth it for the longevity. loved the smell of lafayette street and this is almost exactly that. the amber and apple and vanilla mixture is just the perfect amount of sweetness

If you're looking to buy a dupe of Bond 9. Lafayette Street, this is the only dupe you should buy. Just a perfect scent when comparing to the DNA of Lafayette Street. Every note just hits in the perfect way. Will be rocking this one all summer long.

this stuff is just gorgeous. thats all. great value for money, great longevity, sillage. gorgeous on a man or woman. unique yet mass apealling. daily driver, spring summer fall winter day or night. i mean this might be the best fragrance ever tbh

Wouldn’t call it an exact 1:1 to Lafayette Street but it’s really really close. On the drydown you can smell a slight difference but it projects louder and lasts way longer than LS and costs significantly cheaper so that’s a W in my book.

Ordered from jomashop, really enjoy it. 95% to layfayette st. To my noise this is more floral in the opening. But the dry down is very close. Really one of the best dupes out. I'll continue to use this along side the OG to save on cost.
