The Scoop
Luxe Journey captures the fresh, citrus-driven character of Greenwich Village's opening quite well, maintaining the crisp bergamot and grapefruit balance. The floral heart is reasonably close, though the iris and geranium read slightly sharper and less refined in the clone. The base notes are adequately represented, though the cedar and vetiver lack the sophisticated roundness of the original's dry-down.
Key Differences
The clone's projection and longevity fall slightly short of the original, with a thinner dry-down that reveals less nuance in the base. The middle notes feel somewhat more linear and less graceful in their development compared to Greenwich Village's more elegant floral progression.

What wearers say
“The beginning is a nice floral opening that lasts all of 10 seconds to a minute, after that you need to deal with a weird burnt plastic note, just a distateful note, smells like disinfectant or antiseptic or animal pee or a mixture of all them together for a couple hrs before it fades into that sweet fruity base that does not last nearly long enough to make it worth it. Do not blindbuy.”
“I’ve never smelled Bond No 9 Nomad but I really really like this. The “burnt plastic” note referenced below is actually delicious and addicting to me. I associate it with oakmoss. Reminds me of the “dentist office” note in Bkr 540. This might be a new favorite.”
“Absolutely amazing! very similar to greewhich village/game of spades win. slightly smoother and more masculine. notes are blended in well. What you see is what you get but nothing is overpowering!”
