Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this fragrance, Bond No. 9 Riverside Drive, and I gotta say, it’s been quite a journey. Let me walk you through what I’ve been up to with this stuff.
First off, I sniffed around online to see what the buzz was about Bond No. 9. Turns out, they’re this cool, independent brand that’s all about bringing back the art in perfumery. They’re not about that corporate life, which I dig. They’re all about making scents for different parts of New York. Pretty niche, huh?
Then, I got my hands on a bottle of Riverside Drive. People online were saying it’s a classic scent with a modern twist, made by some guy named Maurice Roucel. Some folks were even saying it’s their favorite from Bond No. 9. So, I was like, “Okay, let’s see what this is all about.”
My Experience
- Tried it out for a few days. I wore it to work, to the grocery store, even just chilling at home. I wanted to see how it held up in different situations.
- Noticed that it lasted about 5-6 hours on me. It started off pretty noticeable for the first couple of hours, and then it became more of a subtle, close-to-the-skin kind of scent.
- Asked around to see what others thought. Some agreed that Bond No. 9 maybe can’t really beat out other brands, and they were not wrong! But, some said Riverside Drive is a gem. It’s got this woody, mossy vibe that’s kinda classic but also fresh.
After all that, I decided that Riverside Drive is a pretty solid choice, especially if you’re into those classic, masculine scents. It’s not overpowering, but it’s definitely there. It’s like, it knows what it’s about, you know? Seems like it would be a good fit for fall or winter, but I could see myself wearing it year-round.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with Bond No. 9 Riverside Drive. It’s been fun experimenting with it and seeing how it works for me. If you’re curious, maybe give it a try and see what you think. You might just find your new favorite scent.
