Verdicts
Greenwich Village
A fresh floral woody fragrance built around bergamot, pink pepper, iris, vetiver, sandalwood. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Bleecker Street
Bergamot and lemon open bright and clean, almost soapy, with lavender smoothing any citrus bite within the first few minutes. The heart settles into a soft geranium-and-lavender accord that reads as freshly showered skin rather than floral. Vetiver and oakmoss keep the dry-down from going purely sweet, adding a low, slightly earthy backbone that gives the whole thing some backbone without demanding attention. Projection stays moderate — detectable but never loud — and the musk and sandalwood base lingers quietly for hours. — Warm-weather office wear or casual weekend use for anyone who wants clean and polished without complexity.
How they overlap
Greenwich Village and Bleecker Street share 4 notes (bergamot, vetiver, sandalwood, musk). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (2 unique to Greenwich Village, 4 unique to Bleecker Street) are where the divergence happens.
