The review
Busker Nuit scores 7.2 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Bleecker Street.
Oakcha sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bleecker Street's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $82 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Bleecker Street — the 5th cheapest of 9 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oakcha publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street is violet leaf, bergamot and pink pepper at first, iris, jasmine and guaiac wood at its heart and musk, amber and cedar at the end. Oakcha set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- violet leaf
- bergamot
- pink pepper
Heart
- iris
- jasmine
- guaiac wood
Base
- musk
- amber
- cedar
Violet leaf and iris over smoky guaiac wood, the most quietly addictive Bond there is.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 11 twins of Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street we can price, Busker Nuit is number 5 on price per 100ml.
