Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street Dupe & Alternative | 177A
Looking for a Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street Dupe or Alternative?
If you love the distinctive green, fruity, woody character of Bond No. 9® Bleecker Street but are searching for a more affordable fragrance with a similar scent direction, discover 177A by La Ree Fragrances.
177A opens with an intriguing combination of violet leaf, juicy blueberry and cassis, and aromatic thyme before developing into warm cedar, jasmine, and cinnamon. Oakmoss, suede, patchouli, amber, vanilla, and caramel create a rich foundation that balances freshness with smooth, addictive warmth.
What Does Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street Smell Like?
Bleecker Street is an unusual fragrance because it doesn't fit neatly into just one category.
Fresh green and fruity elements meet florals, spices, woods, suede, amber, and gourmand warmth, creating a scent that can feel fresh and vibrant at one moment, then warm, woody, and subtly sweet the next.
Bond No. 9 describes Bleecker Street as a warm and spicy fragrance inspired by the creativity and energy of New York City's West Village. Its composition combines violet leaf, cassis, and thyme with jasmine, cedarwood, cinnamon, oakmoss, suede, patchouli, amber, and vanilla.
That contrast is a major part of what has made the fragrance so recognizable.

From Bleecker Street to 177A: Two Very Different Destinations
Bleecker Street takes its identity from one of Manhattan's most recognizable neighborhoods—a place associated with creativity, nightlife, individuality, and the unmistakable energy of New York.
177A travels somewhere very different.
Its identity leans into mystery, energy, and the unexplained—the idea that sometimes what draws us toward something can't immediately be put into words.
That makes the fragrance itself particularly fitting.
Is it green? Fruity? Woody? Sweet? Aromatic?
It's all of them.
The scent changes character as it develops, almost as though you're discovering another layer each time you return to it.
Perhaps that's part of the attraction.
Some things aren't supposed to be immediately understood.
Looking for an Affordable Bleecker Street Alternative?
