Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street Eau de Parfum | 100ml / 3.4 oz

Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street Eau de Parfum

The soul of the West Village, in a fragrance. Bleecker Street by Bond No. 9 is a bold, deeply sophisticated oriental woody fragrance launched in 2005 and created by David Apel — one of the most celebrated and most prolific perfumers of his generation, the nose behind some of the most admired fragrances in contemporary niche perfumery — and one of the most enduring and most beloved fragrances in the Bond No. 9 collection. Bleecker Street is the heart of the West Village: the street that runs through the most bohemian, most creative, and most authentically New York neighbourhood in the city, lined with independent bookshops, jazz clubs, vintage boutiques, and the kind of small, perfect restaurants that New Yorkers keep to themselves. It is a street that smells of creativity and warmth, of dark berries and cedar and the particular sweetness of a neighbourhood that has never lost its soul. And this fragrance captures all of it. It opens with a strikingly original combination of violet leaf, blueberry, cassis, and thyme — dark, slightly herbal, and deeply distinctive. The blueberry and cassis give the opening a dark, slightly jammy sweetness that is immediately recognisable and deeply inviting; violet leaf adds a cool, slightly green, deeply aromatic freshness; and thyme a warm, slightly herbal, deeply Mediterranean character that makes the opening feel simultaneously bold and completely original. The heart deepens with cedar, jasmine, and cinnamon — a beautifully composed woody floral spiced accord of quiet, effortless sophistication. Cedar is the heart’s defining note: clean, slightly pencil-shaving, and deeply masculine, it gives Bleecker Street its most distinctive and most enduring quality. The dry-down is warm, rich, and deeply enveloping: oakmoss, suede, patchouli, amber, vanilla, and caramel — six base notes of extraordinary complementarity — creating a warm, slightly sweet, deeply skin-close base of rare, enduring beauty. Suede and oakmoss give the base a cool, slightly animalic, deeply sophisticated depth that makes Bleecker Street feel simultaneously classic and completely modern.
