Bleecker Street
Grapefruit and black pepper in the opening carry the energy of Bleecker Street itself: bright, direct, and slightly abrasive. Clary sage takes the heart toward something herbal and more considered, cardamom adding warmth as orris lends a rooty, powdery counterpoint. Sandalwood and vetiver in the base anchor the whole composition, amber providing a dry warmth that softens the earlier spice without erasing it.
Why We Carry This
Bleecker Street is the downtown counterpart to Bond No. 9's uptown releases. The clary sage and cardamom heart gives it an aromatic character that most of the house's masculine line does not attempt.
