Bond Street 1972

If you need a perfume that smells like you just pulled a bunch of grass and weeds from the garden or perhaps a freshly mowed lawn, this is your perfume. My brief review is based on a tester strip and my hands were already tested with other pefumes but I just have to leave this note here that this is the most naturalistic verdant opening of any perfume I have ever smelt. The grassy notes here is a moist wet damp grass and not the dry grass of some arid land.

Very green at first, think freshly cut grass, summer air, wet soil and summer breeze. Not sweet at all. Then it turns into a spicy incense scent. Edit 08/21/25: this has become one of my total favs! The sillage is great and it lasts a really long time on my skin. One of the best. I smell it on myself throughout the day which rarely happens

At first, a bright celery green white pepper smoke that reminds me a bit of an herbaceous candy. Then the green mellows down after an hour and turns into a warm incense. I imagine a sunny walk as the first spring shoots emerge from the snow, returning home to an incensey interior with the crisp feeling of cold air.

Really nice green freshy. Sharp, very green & grassy with a hint of frankincense. Reminds me of Lush The Bug mixed with Lush Grass. Good value at £75/100ml Probably a safe blind buy if you like green & grassy scents.

Very medicinal green opening. The drydown smells like wet cannabis, not smoked, the actual plant..not at all what I expected. I like green scents. The old original Bobbi Brown, I love Grass by Lush..Nuit de Bakelite by Naomi Goodsir..Crushed by Margot Elena. This one is harsh and, as much as I don't like it, I do love Lush perfumes. There are 2 that I don't like, the old version of Fresh As, which smelled like Pine floor cleaner, and this one...I hear that Fresh As has been reformulated, so maybe it's better. No way to make this one better. Yuk. Also, the performance is not great for a Lush perfume. If you like weedy scents, give it a try..but don't wear it to the airport..TSA might be stopping you.
