Unfortunately, a lot of things await you after spraying it on, but nothing good. I smell here just BR 540 combined with a load of indefinable fruit notes. I must say here at this point I do not like BR 540 at all, but when I read the fragrance pyramid I would never guess a similarity here. Unfortunately, Greenwich Village is again significantly worse for me than BR 540 due to this really penetrating fruity note Greenwich Village seems so muddled and not balanced. In short I find it really awful. I just smell saffron and can not detect any other fragrance notes here except vanilla. The most similar fragrance is Baccarat Rouge 540. I talked about this briefly in the scent profile. They both have a similar sugary-like nature. However, BR540 has a much heavier emphasis on woods and amber. Greenwich Village is a lot fresher fragrance. Final Words As Greenwich develops a bouquet of white flowers and peony notes become more prominent and remain as the scent eventually settles into a somewhat gourmand base with amber and musky notes.

Greenwich Village lasts eight to ten hours on the skin with moderate and consistent projection. It pushes out up to an arm’s length for the first couple of hours before receding, never becoming a skin scent. This performance is with five sprays.

A dupe of Greenwich Village shouldn’t include anything too spicy since those hints tend to project more than fruity or floral ones. While I think a fragrance with green notes can work, they shouldn’t remain prevalent through the dry down since that will change the scent’s overall vibe. Vibrant, bold, lush with eclectic spirit, the newest creation from Bond No9 highlights the sparkling spirit of cassis, mandarins and lychee in the opening notes. The optimistic fruity vibe announces the lush bouquet of white peonies, waterlily and gentle jasmine petals, resting on ambrox, peach musk, vanilla, oak moss, and praline. "The result is an oriental vanilla with a touch of light florality," as the brand explains.

Greenwich Village is an amber floral fragrance first introduced in 2019 by Bond No. 9. Featuring a fruity opening with undertones of jasmine and vanilla, the dry down brings a more masculine woody vibe that is youthful and vibrant. Greenwich Village is a sweet, floral scent with a musky base, but the ambroxan note featured as it dries down gives it a unique vibe that I do not find in many other fragrances with similar profiles. The founder and president of Bond No9, Laurice Rahme expresses the thrill about the latest release, which belongs to the wide diapason of the brand's creation, dedicated to one of world's largest metropolises. She said: "We had to do Greenwich Village. It’s so rich in culture! I was thinking of painters and musicians, the jazz clubs and the chess cafés where I went in the seventies when I first came to New York. The Village is intimate; it’s real.” Our fragrance samples come in high quality glass SPRAY bottles and are available in sizes of 2ml, 3ml, 5ml, 9ml, 13ml, please choose a size above.

Greenwich Village is sample and decant-worthy. As a man writing this, the biggest disappointment is that it’s slightly feminine leaning. Sometimes the fruity florals just become too much. However, this fragrance isn’t exclusively for women. It just depends on your tolerance for unisex fragrances. Greenwich Village holds unfortunately also like glue, on the skin over 15 hours, longer I could not test it because I showered. On clothes Greenwich Village lasts through days and even a wash has not been able to remove the scent 100%. The first hour is all about sweet freshness and ambroxan. After this period, fleeting floral nuances amplify the freshness – if that’s possible. The dry down carries this freshness and settles into an oakmoss and fruity base. The rest of the wear is fruity, fresh amber, and oakmoss with a decent dose of musk. As I searched for an alternative, I wanted it to feature fruity notes like litchi and juicy mandarin.
