The review
Reade scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Lafayette Street.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Lafayette Street's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 68% less than Lafayette Street — the 4th cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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 Lafayette Street is bergamot, pink pepper and pear at first, rose, jasmine and orris at its heart and sandalwood, musk and amber at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- pink pepper
- pear
Heart
- rose
- jasmine
- orris
Base
- sandalwood
- musk
- amber
Pear and rose over powdered sandalwood, downtown with the volume down.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
