It was all start by I want this bottle in my collection, I tried it, then fall in love with the scent and bought it. But I do not see myself buying more Bond No.9 bottle with that high price.

I believe there are options for people who do not want to pay that much for the same vibe.

Cartier - Eau de Cartier Concentrée is magnificent. Still not cheap, but not Bond No. 9 prices.

A bottle of Bond No. 9 costed me around 10,000 Thai Bahts (324 US Dollars) so anything cheaper than that is ok.

Fresh cut grass green and really cheap...Essenza di Zegna

Leafy, wet rainforest, inside-of-a-nursery green and natural...L'Ombre Dans L'Eau....it's gotta be the most natural leafy, damp plants and flowers scent I have encountered. Definitely not for me, but very natural smelling. And probably half the price of the Bond.

Ralph Lauren Purple Label is often compared to Bleecker Street. I have not tried it, so I cannot confirm.

Purple Label is sort of close to Bleecker, but is a bit more sour, think of it as Bleecker being a bright green leaf on a tree juice, and PL being more of a greenish-brown and slightly wilted leaf on the ground juice.

Carolina Herrera 212 Men smells exactly like fresh cut green grass. In fact, it's one of the notes listed in the pyramid. Also, Coty Aspen has a very green smell and is similar to the drydown to GIT.

I have not smelled Bleecker st, but cheaper leafy green include:
+1 ombre dans l'eau (though it's quite strong). Another leafy Dyptique is Eau de Lierre, but it's not very persistent.
Chanel Cristalle
Gucci Envy (green + flowers)
Futur (very very green).
