This is widely considered a "spot-on" or "1:1" clone of Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street. It captures the same fresh, barbershop-meets-luxury DNA but is often praised for having even better longevity than the original. ​Notes: * Top: Bergamot, Coriander, and Floral Accords. ​Heart: Apple, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. ​Base: Tonka Bean, Ambergris, and Woodsy Notes. ​Longevity: Excellent (8–10+ hours). Because it is a Parfum concentration, it survives a full workday and often lingers on clothes for days. It has strong projection (sillage) for the first 2–3 hours before settling into a dense, creamy aura. ​Occasion: Highly versatile. It works perfectly as a "signature scent." It is clean and professional enough for the office, yet sweet and alluring enough for date nights or evening events. It has a "well-groomed gentleman" vibe but is officially unisex. ​Season: All-season. ​Spring/Summer: The citrus and apple keep it fresh enough for warm weather. ​Fall/Winter: The vanilla, ambergris, and tonka provide the "weight" and warmth needed to cut through the cold.

It’s been a while for this one. Going to be 60 today so I wanted to give this one a day out while it’s sunny. This one puts a smile on my face. Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!!

So I've actually been wearing this for the last 2 days and am really enjoying it! Fig, black pepper and patchouli are what's listed. Unlisted notes that I'm getting are lemon, musk, sandalwood, aquatic and floral notes. The three listed are by far the most dominant, but the blend is very nice indeed. It barely resembles the light blue DNA IMO. It's fresh, sweet, salty and still somewhat dense for a warm weather fragrance. Longevity for me is moderate. About 2 hours of decent projection with a beautiful patchouli skin scent dry down. Maybe 6-7 hours total depending on how much I sweat. So far from my experience, this is the most unique of the light blue flankers and almost immediately my favorite. I'm definitely partial to fig though. Gris Charnel and Parisian Music are my other fig favorites. I'd love some recommendations on other outstanding fig fragrances if you have any to offer...
