Wall Street (2004)
by Bond No. 9

Girls love this scent and me too...nothing else must be said!!!
It is a cool-juicy-aromatic scent...perfect for the summer or for the office.

It starts with a tangy citrus note combinend with fresh cucumber and (sea)kale (some would say watery-melon note).
In the middle note I detect marine notes and Mastic "balsamic with breeze of a leather note" from the pistachios-tree.
And than comes the lavender for the slow-down, mixed with bigarrade from the bitterorange-tree and thyme for the animation.
And for the long lasting power of this scent comes in the basenote musk, vetiver-grass and ambergris.

Maybe Erolfa, M. Imperial, Unforgivable goes in the same direction of scent (or catagory), but they are different.
So I owned all of them, because I like this fresh-marine-woody scents.

Don´t start a Creed vs. Bond battle...I also got 9 different Creed bottles...I must say from Bond I like Wall Street, Hamptons and Bleecker Street...thats it.

Big thumb up.

My first thought was an extremely less salty Erolfa. Then I think it's something completely different. Well, it's not a direct copy as nothing really is but it's still pretty decent. A nice cucumber and melon scent that seems a little skunky. Like 212 Men perhaps but not as green.

It is interesting to me that several reviewers view Wall Street as similar to a Creed, but there is no consensus view on which one: Erolfa, Millesime Imperial and even Silver Mountain Water. To me, it is most similar to Erolfa, but as a caricature of it. The opening has a salty oceanic character and that is somewhat similar to Erolfa, but unlike Erolfa I find it to be harsh and devoid of any sweetness. The saltiness of sea kale coupled with cucumber reminds me of celery. Since I try to find something distinctly ‘New York’ in Bond no. 9 fragrance (and usually I cannot do so), what comes to mind here is the celery soft drink that is served in New York delis (or at least that is the impression the labels on cans of Cel-Ray soda gave me). At any rate, I find the opening to be harsh and unpleasant. After a long wait (hours), some sweet fruitiness emerges, but this feels rather weak, synthetic and totally related to the early development. I am unimpressed.

Yes, yes, everyone knows that it smells like an inaccurate mixture of MI and GIT by Creed. Some of us know this fact well enough to tell everything about this similarity without even testing any of these three... But let us test it one more time and let's look the other way. And voila! it has the most true smell of angelica stem. I'm talking about a freshly picked leaf with a stem.
That's why, I think, Wall street such a fresh and even slightly overpowering fragrance: just smell angelica on a rainy day, pick up, smear and smell. And the feeling of some sterile freshness is quite similar to angelica greenery as well an uplifting effect. And some bitterness too. To me in spite of all the likeness they are not copies or anything like that: they are absolutely different from the very beginning.
Their effect is similar, but look, if one takes tea to freshen up at noon or drinks coffee for the same purpose, you won't tell these drinks are the same...

A cheap synthetic knock off Creed's Imperial Milesime. I have heard the Bond 9 references to be knock offs of Creed and this is the most obvious. I am extremely disappointed by this scent. I thought" Wow! Wall street...masculine, spicy.. a manly man scent!" and..then..I smell it..and what do I smell??

CUCUMBERS!!

What kind of a wall street bond trader or investment banker walks up and down the street smelling like cucumbers!!?!?! Its a lot like Imperial Milesmile but has a cucumber scent instead of a melon watery opening. The staying power is weak and it smells like cheap vodka after a while.


This scent smells a lot like Sean John by P diddy. Wall Street is overall just Not a very good fragrance with poor lasting power.

It has a great opening, bright and fresh with some richness. After a few hours, it fades into something not so complicated and kind of basic and flat, not containing the great opening notes. Ladies love it, I've gotten tons of compliments. I think its a good gateway into higher quality fragrance.
