Reviews of Wall Street (2004)
by Bond No. 9

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.

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...

The initial resemblance to Creed's Silver Mountain Water is pretty explicit - even shocking. True, Wall Street is a bit less sweet, and the pronounced cucumber top note makes it the more blatantly aquatic of the pair...but the accusations of plaigerism are still hard to ignore.

The Bond scent doesn't distinguish itself too much from Silver Mountain Water as it ages, either, despite a different list of mid- and base notes. Nor is the drydown any improvement on the original. Next to the Creed's ambergris-tinted exit Wall Street's seems harsh, bitter, and disturbingly synthetic. I'm not impressed.

Another clone from Bond No. 9…I think of it as an antiseptically clean Erolfa—apparently others see a closer relationship to Millesime Imperial, which to me is an acceptable insight because I see the two Creeds as being similar. Wall Street has crystal clear notes, every possible disagreeable component removed, no rough edges, all spit and polish. It’s nice— it is very nice. The cucumber note is pretty obvious; plus, it’s attractive and clean. The whole scent contains loads of balanced and refined ozonics. Wall Street has great longevity. I am with those who say they would buy it if its cost were one-third the current asking price. But even then, I’d rather buy Erolfa or MI, because Erolfa and MI have more character—or should I say, Erolfa and Millesime Imperial HAVE character— Wall Street has cleanliness. Character or Cleanliness? Not much of a decision to my way of thinking— cleanliness in an excellent fragrance I can get for $30 - $40.

it's green and too marine,nothing special ..i dont like it.

Wall Street is a nice, well made, ozonic marine fragrance. It starts off with citrusy notes which smell a bit like antacid .. sounds strange, but they are infact intriguing. I can almost immediately smell the ozone/marine notes. During my various test sessions, I could also note a certain "vomit" note; it crops up rarely, and I wonder if its the sea kale. Unforgivable by P. Diddy is very similar to this offering - especially the top notes of antacid/citrus. The difference is that the marine/ozone notes are deeper and more pronounced in Wall Street, while the Unforgivable dwells more on the unique top notes. Wall Street lasts longer, but Unforgivable is far cheaper. For the money and the similarities, I would opt for Unforgivable.

I think Matt is right about the Drakkar Noir as well as the posts on it being a better formed Erolfa. I do smell the Cumcumber Rob talks about. A nice aquatic summertime scent. If you could get a good price on it, a nice edition, but it does not have that WOW factor at a full price buy. One of those scents in my opinion that you would take if someone gifted you, but there are better things to buy out there. However, I will say if you prefer something safe for the summer, consider this scent

This smells great - sort of an intense, green-ish L'eau por Kenzo pour Homme with sea kale and lime. Has fine staying power but doesn't really evolve in any sophisticated way in my opinion, especially considering the cost and its pseudo-exclusivity. If it sold for about 1/3 of what it currently retails for I might actually buy a bottle.
