Few months ago I came across a clone of Lafayette Street, I never smelled the og, I was judging based only on the test strip, I liked it so much that I bought it. Performance was very good, later I purchased the NoMad clone. The name of the clone is called Rock Street, and the other is called 9th Avenue, both by Emper Metropolis line.
I like these type of videos that goes into more specifics about a particular fragrance and the brand in general. I dont have much experience on Bond No.9 but the notes in Lafayette with a mix of PDM Percival and La Nuit De L'homme sounds like something i´d like to wear so I will for sure check it out sometime whenever I have time, the list is rather long now haha :)
This is probably one of the best series that you've came up with so far, I really love the idea of explaining why a 10/10 fragrance is a 10/10, definetly post more of these!!!
I just made the purchase of Lafayette st bond 9 last week... I agree with everything you stated... I keep trying to find something I like better than Tom Ford ombre leather... This tries but not quite... But I love it and strongly recommend to anyone's collection for sure
It does kinda smell like Dunhill Red. I have it, I also have Uden and Montale woods and spices. If you have either you don’t need the other. I agree it’s only 3 I purchased from Bond. Bleecker St, New York Nights, and Lafayette St.
Waiting on my Lafayette to be delivered so watching this video. Will also buy Greenwich. Can not really test a lot of Bond fragrances because of availability here but those two I really like. I think it's great for EDC, both.
Yes, Lafayette Street is one of the best Bond 9 fragrance hands-down!!!! The women love it I always get compliments from women and men when I wear this!!!!
Agreed. This is the only Bond No.9 worth having. I impulse bought a 50ml in Harrods last year and am happy with it. Designer-ish vibe but unique scent profile and the bloated price of the brand itself is the only thing that stands in its way. I would recommend Blonde Amber by Clive Christian to you, which amongst all currently available men's fragrances is the greatest fragrance with absurd pricing being the only thing that will prevent it from ever getting the true recognition it deserves.
@@SchoolOfScent Fortnum & Mason or the Jovoy boutique in Mayfair have it. I think Harrods stopped stocking Clive Christian a couple of years ago. There's a chance that you may even prefer Amber Wood by the same brand which is an excellent expression of exactly what it says on the tin. But Blonde Amber is the one that became the succubus of my debit card.
Love this video series bro 🙏🏻 I got a decant of LS and it just wasn’t doing it for me personally, but it’s definitely a fan favorite. Scent of peace on the other hand is amazing!
Just got this and it really reminds me of the 90s a lot. There was a 90s scent called Aspen that smelled just like this (albeit much cheaper). Super nostalgic, nice scent
Don't agree on the wearability criteria, sometimes there's nowt wrong with a one trick pony e.g. for me a super elegant and heavy scent is perfect for formal dressed up occasions or at the other end a durable everyday gym scent. Both are independent of seasons
Compliment Monster. Very Versatile. But the price tag sheeessshhh. I need a good deal on this. I had a 10 ML decant and on my last wearing I was in an elevator with a very attractive woman at Columbia University in NYC. She was on the phone the while way up, but upon exiting she told the person to hold on and said "I have somethingto do... she turned to me and said " you sir, ease have an amazing day". 😅 I was dressed pretty nice, but I knew it was the scent!
Hey Omar frankly speaking isn't Bond No.9 Lafayette Street(2018) a clone of Alfred Dunhill Desire Red for Man(2000) just as Creed original Santal(2005)is a copy of Joop pour homme (1989)
Thoughts on Amouage Interlude Black Iris? Recently picked up a bottle for a good price and I'm absolutely IN LOVE with it. Amazingly blended and lasts forever
That's a great description designer appeal with that niche edge. I absolutely love it but it is overpriced especially right now 350+ CAN on discounters
Recently i came across a bunch of 6 aud ripoff perfumes at the local charity shop these included salvage "sauvage" and a le male and blue de channel copies with similar scents and boxes would u be interested in doing a video on these ripoff fragrances
No bond no. 9 are worth the price... should be 150$ retail....i actually like Lafayette st. When u compare it to aventus ofc it's worth it.... it's $400 retail.... can't find it below $230 on discounters ... it's nice but the scent doesn't change much, pretty sure it's not an extrait
It is. I had Cumbria before buying Lafayette. The Dua had better performance,but didn’t quite capture the freshness of the apple and the florals of the original.
I recently received some 10 ml samples of Lafayette Street. I am definitely underwhelmed. To me the performance doesn’t live up to my personal standards for Sillage or Longevity. I’m very glad that I didn’t blind buy a bottle of this. I usually highly respect your recommendations but not on this one. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
I’ve just tried it and it smells too feminine to me on the first whiff. I LOVE the scent. A little too much. Smells nearly identical to a girl I work with. Doesn’t help I’m incredibly attracted to her so this scent for my own personal use is ruined for me 😅
There is only 1 day left to EVER acquire Atrium's (our brand's) latest release Mr Majestic : atriumfragrance.com/products/head-turner
We need a buying guide on diptyque fragrances!!
Definitely would appreciate this 👍
Worst brand
And Byredo
Their candles are great.. Bia'es is lovely.

I get a lot of compliments from nurses and my patients. Subtle, classy scent. Not too overpowering which is important when working in the hospital.

And wow!
Love it
Thx for the review and recommendation.
Top man!!🤜🏼🤛🏼

Thank you Senthil, will check it out. 👌

Blonde Amber is my absolute favorite in my collection

I love this scent. It’s one of my favorites out of my collection. Definitely a compliment grabber.
Rewatching this video with having my own Bond No. 9 Lafeyette Street too 💙
Omar, you should do a buying guide on bond no 9.
Just got this and it really reminds me of the 90s a lot. There was a 90s scent called Aspen that smelled just like this (albeit much cheaper). Super nostalgic, nice scent
Aspen? Bro that smells like green irish tweed. Not this lol
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed night

Just subbed yesterday but have been watching for about a week now, love how informative your content is and how knowledgeable you are 💪🏽!!

Great purchase, it’s a 10/10 cold weather scent for sure.
That's a great description designer appeal with that niche edge. I absolutely love it but it is overpriced especially right now 350+ CAN on discounters
For that price I believe the House would of made the package worth the price.
I got it and it’s an amazing scent that ladies love
Just got a sample today. Let's see...
Amazing idea. I tried a sample and then bought a full bottle of encre noir ala extreme. On your recommendation.
I love, love La Fayette Street Bond 9 ❤❤❤
I swear Layafette Street was probably the inspiration for PDMs Althair
WOWOW! Great idea. Thank you as always!!
Recently i came across a bunch of 6 aud ripoff perfumes at the local charity shop these included salvage "sauvage" and a le male and blue de channel copies with similar scents and boxes would u be interested in doing a video on these ripoff fragrances
The more you use it, the more you'll like it. Its that good!
Love this format Omar! Thanks for sharing
I have a 20yo Dunhill Desire Red, but haven’t tried Lafayette. Red is sweet not fresh
Can confirm Dunhill Red is very similar. It's not nearly as long lasting though.
Keep ‘em coming-love the series
Very original idea, good stuff Omar 👌
Dua on lafayette street is spot on!
This one smells like YSL myself layered with CH bad boy
I can’t smell anything when smelling BR540 😢 even the clones of it so I’m guessing I’m nose blind to ambroxan
Damn. 😳
Bro Try Diesel ++ white M or Diesel Men. Its almost same but way way cheaper.
I need to try this one
No bond no. 9 are worth the price... should be 150$ retail....i actually like Lafayette st. When u compare it to aventus ofc it's worth it.... it's $400 retail.... can't find it below $230 on discounters ... it's nice but the scent doesn't change much, pretty sure it's not an extrait
Yes I have it and it’s amazing
Yes, it is indeed a 10/10.
Easily one of my favorites from Bond. I also enjoy Chez Bond and New Haarlem as well. Great series.
100% could not agree more.
What was wrong with Bleaker street?
Not a great blend, not worth the price imo
@@SchoolOfScent thanks 🙂
What about Remarkable People?
🙂
Bruh idk this fragrance projects off my skin for at least 4-5 hrs but lasts 10+ hrs.
You know I found it more similar to Amouge Reflection man. Go sniff them side by side 😉
I'd love to see Naxos & Noir Extreme Parfum getting 10 out of 10 here.. no?
Great idea..
The Dua Brand is a 95% match
It is. I had Cumbria before buying Lafayette. The Dua had better performance,but didn’t quite capture the freshness of the apple and the florals of the original.
@@ShawnHarding1400Pretty close match, to my niche nose
This smells exactly like Creed Original Santal which i’m not a big fan of. Too much of a powdery chemically smell which is headache inducing
I disagree
I recently received some 10 ml samples of Lafayette Street. I am definitely underwhelmed. To me the performance doesn’t live up to my personal standards for Sillage or Longevity. I’m very glad that I didn’t blind buy a bottle of this. I usually highly respect your recommendations but not on this one. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
It's just an over priced ysl myself
Avenue New York is a 90% dupe of Lafayette and it’s $35.
Lafayette st has a wonderful scent profile. Blind buy worthy!
Smells like Niko’s Sculpture
Smells great but longevity sucks
To be honest the scent is not original especially the opening, other fragrances had that DNA first, you really paying for the name
Smells exactly like Creed Original Santal
I’ve just tried it and it smells too feminine to me on the first whiff. I LOVE the scent. A little too much. Smells nearly identical to a girl I work with. Doesn’t help I’m incredibly attracted to her so this scent for my own personal use is ruined for me 😅
Overpriced niche version of Boss Bottled.. :/
No that’s PDM Althair 😆
@@SchoolOfScent LOL You're right! XD
