Luxe Blanc captures the bright, luminous citrus opening and sophisticated floral heart of TriBeCa reasonably well, though it lacks some of the original's crisp refinement and greenish undertones. The base notes are slightly warmer and more amber-forward than the original's cleaner vetiver-driven drydown, making the clone feel marginally softer and less architectural.
Luxe Blanc's longevity is moderate (4-5 hours vs TriBeCa's 6-7 hours) and the sillage is closer to skin-scent after 2 hours. The clone's base is noticeably warmer and less dry, while TriBeCa maintains a cooler, more mineral quality throughout its progression.

“95% accuracy to the original, nice caramel chocolatey fragrance with great longevity and average projection. This is almost identical to Tribeca but the remaining 5% is like BR540 extrait in the dry down, (slightly more musky and has an almond-like accord) . Overall great if you love Bond No9 Tribeca as this is practically the same thing. Only time I would justify getting the original over this is if money is not at all a problem since i think the original projects slightly better and has more of that cocoa and caramel.”
“I have never tried tribeca nor am I ever Likley to given the prices of bond number 9s. But I absolutely love this as it is so much so I bought a second bottle. I don't get br40 from this like others have mentioned. I just find it very pleasant it's got great longevity and good sillage. I have hundreds of perfumes and this has shot up as one of my favourites.. I am also enjoying the nightlife and emerald. And have journey on the way. I've found them all for 15 pounds each it's a no brainier..”
“Lovely packaging and the bottle looks much better in person, it’s not my favorite, but I’m not mad at it. In fact, I’m thrilled that I get to smell one of my most beloved dna’s and shower myself in it for the mere price tag of $30. Tribeca is on another level, but in today’s economy, Luxe Blanc is close enough to scratch the itch.”
